Controlling language, verbatim

Ala. Code 20-2-2(4): 'CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE. A drug, substance, or immediate precursor in Schedules I through V of Article 2 of this chapter.' (closed, schedule-based definition; no 'controlled substance analog' defined in 20-2-2, and Schedule I at 20-2-23 lists no benzofuran and no general analog clause - the only amphetamine-type catch-all, 20-2-23(f)(2)(xviii), is keyed to '2-Amino-phenyl-1-propanone', a ketone class that 5-MAPB does not satisfy).
