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 Board shall place a substance in schedule II if it finds that:
1. The substance has high potential for abuse;
2. The substance has accepted medical use in treatment in the United States, or accepted medical use with severe restrictions; and
3. The abuse of the substance may lead to severe psychological or physical dependence.
