Point of note that most of the ADHD drugs (stimulants, the ones that work) are Schedule II, which makes them a PITA to obtain, even with lawful prescriptions. Most opiates are in this category as well. Schedule IV is basically the benzos(Xanax)/z-drugs(Ambien), which is ludicrous considering drugs in that category aren't supposed to have much addiction potential. S3 drugs are mostly weak opiates in formulations that help prevent abuse and steroids. For purposes of studies, S1 is the only real deal breaker, because by definition, there are no medical uses for these drugs. The rest of the schedules are roughly equivalent in terms of PITA for studies and research, only nuance with dispensing to patients varies significantly.
