DEA Temporarily Adds Synthetic Benzodiazepines to Schedule I of Drug List

The Drug Enforcement Administration plans to temporarily adding five synthetic benzodiazepines -- etizolam, flualprazolam, clonazolam, flubromazolam and diclazepam -- to Schedule I of the Controlled Substances Act, it said in a notice of intent in the Dec. 23 Federal Register. Once the temporary scheduling order is published, it will be in effect for up to three years, the DEA said.
