Which of the following identifies the depressant methaqualone?
Methaqualone is also known as Quaalude. This is a well-documented fact and uniquely identifies the drug among the options provided.
In 1984 it was moved to the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) Federal Schedule I, so Quaaludes are no longer legally available in the United States. Schedule I drugs have a high potential for abuse, no currently accepted medical treatment use in the U.S., and lack accepted safety for use under medical supervision. Quaaludes that are sold only for illicit recreational use now are synthesized in illegal laboratories. Illegally produced Quaaludes can contain other central nervous system depressants such as benzodiazepines or even fentanyl.
Not sure C is correct as aren’t schedule I substances without medical use, whereas this is a medically used drug?
Moved to Schedule II in 1979 according to wiki: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methaqualone
