Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Peyote and mescaline are Schedule I substances under the Controlled Substances Act, meaning that they have a high potential for abuse, no currently accepted medical use in treatment in the United States, and a lack of accepted safety for use under medical supervision.
Detailed explanation-2: -A drug or chemical can be treated as a Schedule 1 substance for criminal prosecution even if it is not a controlled substance. Controlled drugs that are considered to have virtually no risk for addiction, abuse or harm are not scheduled. Examples of those would be insulin, blood pressure and cholesterol medicines.
