A prescription drug may not be a narcotic, or a recreational drug, but I still think that it would be a controlled substance.
I was referring to the DEA classification of controlled drugs, Schedules 1 through 5. Other prescription drugs are restricted in that they need a prescription, but aren't tracked in the same way.
