Talk:DEA list of chemicals

Phenylacetone

This is listed on the wiki page as a List I, however, it isn't listed on the DEA List I chemicals page, as it is rather a Scheduled substance (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Controlled_Substances_Act#Schedule_II_controlled_substances). —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bvox (talk • contribs) 13:17, 20 May 2011 (UTC)

Hydroiodic acid

Part of the list begins: "the following chemicals or the salt, optical isomer, or salt of an optical isomer of the following chemicals" and included in that part of the list is hydroiodic acid (HI). Is that really the way the list is published? I ask because, of course, there are no optical isomers of HI, and the list of salts of HI is large. Something just does not seem right.

You are right: according to http://www.usdoj.gov/dea/pubs/abuse/2-chem.htm, only hydriodic acid is restricted, not its salts or any nonexistent optical isomers. I will go ahead and fix this. --Pyrochem 00:27, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

Iodine

On the DEA table of listed chemicals it shows Iodine as list II instead of list I. Is this a recent change, or has iodine since been promoted to list I? 24.124.54.30 (talk) 06:58, 3 May 2009 (UTC)

"This rulemaking finalizes an August 11, 2006, Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) [71 FR 46144] in which DEA proposed (1) the movement of iodine from List II to List I; (2) a reduction in the iodine threshold from 0.4 kilograms to zero kilograms; (3) the addition of import and export regulatory controls; and (4) the control of chemical mixtures containing greater than 2.2 percent iodine. This action is being taken because of the continued use of iodine for the illicit production of the schedule II controlled substances amphetamine and methamphetamine. Methamphetamine is the leading controlled substance clandestinely manufactured in the United States." 68.218.238.151 (talk) 01:35, 30 May 2009 (UTC)

Dead Links

Gee, many of the links on this page appear dead. I might put some new ones in. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Adam00 (talk • contribs) 05:18, 1 July 2011 (UTC)

Organize the Lists

Hi! Would it be possible to organize these lists of precursor chemicals into the drugs that they can produce? I don't have the information to start such a project, but think it would help the flow. --24.34.50.48 (talk) 23:44, 31 October 2012 (UTC)

I don't know that the ordering should be changed, but since the individual drug pages generally list syntheses (see MDMA#Synthesis or Heroin#cite_note-78) I doubt there's a real problem with it. In addition, pages on far more dangerous chemicals contain syntheses, ranging from VX_(nerve_agent) to Acetone_peroxide. I don't see that this would cause any particular harm. Such information is available all over the internet and it would be interesting to know why these chemicals were listed, in addition to when they were listed for a historical reference. A few of them are immediately obvious just from looking at those drug pages, so it might be an interesting project to track down the others that I'd be willing to tackle, although I'm afraid it would take a lot of digging through the relevant law changes to find the dates. I suspect most of the information is probably elsewhere on wikipedia and searching through common street drugs will end up finding 90% of them and the chemical pages will end up finding the rest.
