As i get tired of pointing out so many times to people who should know better .... flunitrazepam is a DEA C-IV ... but with uniquely harsh penalties for a C-IV, to put it mildly.

There were simply too many different state legislatures for the Roche lobbyists to cover ... so ... some of them made it a state C-I, despite whatever lobbyists do to protect a good sleeping pill from the worldwide stigma of being a DEA C-I.

... and the FDA has prohibited its manufacture and its prescription. And the DEA does not allow it to be imported. And according to Customs, it is contraband. Foreign visitors to the U.S. with scrips for it from foreign doctors will have the drug confiscated before they can enter the country.

Yes, it's confusing. But everything i say above is true.
