In terms of drug dependency, what is true about Schedule VI drugs?

Schedule VI drugs are classified as substances that have either no accepted medical use or a very low potential for abuse. This classification reflects a recognition that these drugs are generally considered to pose minimal risk for dependence compared to drugs in other schedules that indicate higher potential for abuse and dependency.

The reasoning for this classification stems from an understanding of the pharmacological effects of these substances. Schedule VI drugs can include certain herbal or natural products that are not deemed to be addictive or harmful in the same way that higher-scheduled drugs are. For instance, this could encompass substances that are largely seen as safe for public use with no significant risk of addiction or abuse.

Consequently, when assessing drug dependency, Schedule VI drugs are viewed as having a minimal impact, distinguishing them from drugs that present significant risks to health and safety, such as those classified under other schedules that fall within the spectrum of higher potential for abuse and dependency.
