the schedules are based on how addicting a drug is and its potential for abuse. schedule 1s are illegal drugs (although pot shouldn't be in with herion and crack, it still is), schedule 2s are narcotics such as Adderall or morphine, and schedule 3s and 4s are the less addicting substances like vicodin and xanax.
