What happened
The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) issued a temporary order to classify 5,6-dichloro brorphine, 5,6-dichloro desmethylchlorphine, N-propionitrile chlorphine, and spirochlorphine as Schedule I controlled substances. This action was based on the DEA's finding that this scheduling is necessary to avoid an imminent hazard to public safety. The order was signed by Donald Trump.
