Talk:DEA list of chemicals

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Hydroiodic acid

Part of the list begins: "the following chemicals or the salt, optical isomer, or salt of an optical isomer of the following chemicals" and included in that part of the list is hydroiodic acid (HI). Is that really the way the list is published? I ask because, of course, there are no optical isomers of HI, and the list of salts of HI is large. Something just does not seem right.

You are right: according to http://www.usdoj.gov/dea/pubs/abuse/2-chem.htm, only hydriodic acid is restricted, not its salts or any nonexistent optical isomers. I will go ahead and fix this. --Pyrochem 00:27, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
