It has a lack of accepted safety for use under medical supervision. According to federal law, no prescriptions may be written for Schedule I substances, and they are not readily available for clinical use.

A controlled substance analogue (for example, a 'designer drug') is a substance which is structurally or pharmacologically similar to a Schedule I or Schedule II substance, specifically used for human consumption, and is not an approved medication in the United States. NOTE: Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC, marijuana) is still considered a Schedule 1 drug by the DEA, even though some U.S. States have legalized marijuana for personal, recreational use or for medical use.
