DEA Form 222 is used to distribute which schedules?

DEA Form 222 is the official document used to requisition Schedule I and Schedule II controlled substances. These two schedules are the most tightly regulated due to their high potential for abuse, so ordering them requires a formal, traceable paper (or electronic) process to ensure proper accountability. In contrast, substances in Schedules III, IV, and V can be ordered through normal purchasing channels (invoices or electronic systems) without needing this form. This distinction helps maintain strict control where it’s most needed while allowing more typical procurement for lower-risk substances.
