Except where control is required by United States obligations
under an international treaty, convention, or protocol, in effect
on October 27, 1970, and except in the case of an immediate
precursor, a drug or other substance may not be placed in any
schedule unless the findings required for such schedule are made

medical use in treatment in the United States or a currently
accepted medical use with severe restrictions.
(C) Abuse of the drug or other substances may lead to severe
psychological or physical dependence.
(3) Schedule III. -
(A) The drug or other substance has a potential for abuse less
than the drugs or other substances in schedules I and II.
