Which of the following is an example of a Schedule II drug?

• A. Hashish
• B. Ibuprofen
• C. Tylenol with codeine
• D. Cocaine

Answer: (D)

Schedule II drugs have high potential for abuse and dependence, but they do have accepted medical uses with strict restrictions. Cocaine fits this pattern because it has legitimate medical uses as a local anesthetic in certain surgical settings, but its abuse potential and risk of dependence are high, which places it in Schedule II. Hashish is typically described as Schedule I, meaning no accepted medical use under federal law. Ibuprofen is an over-the-counter medication and not a controlled substance. Tylenol with codeine contains an opiate and is classified as Schedule III, reflecting a lower potential for abuse compared with Schedule II. So, the example that best matches Schedule II is cocaine.
