Court decisions citing this, by year. The dip in the last several years is a data-coverage gap, not a real trend — our corpus holds fewer opinions from the most recent years, so recent citations are undercounted.
The Cabinet for Health and Family Services shall place a substance in Schedule II if it finds that:
(1) The substance has high potential for abuse;
(2) The substance has currently accepted medical use in treatment in the United States, or currently accepted medical use with severe restrictions; and (3) The abuse of the substance may lead to severe psychic or physical dependence.
