Which of the following is a Class C drug?

• A. GHB
• B. Anabolic steroids
• C. Khat
• D. Tranquillisers

Answer: (B)

Drugs are scheduled under the Misuse of Drugs Act to reflect varying levels of harm and abuse potential. Class C sits between the higher-risk A and B categories and is used for substances that are considered less dangerous but still illegal to possess or supply without proper medical reasons. Anabolic steroids are listed as Class C because they have legitimate medical uses, but non‑medical use carries health risks and there is potential for abuse. That combination keeps them in Class C, making possession without a prescription an offence and possession with intent to supply a more serious offence. The other substances listed are controlled under different schedules, so they are not the Class C option in this context.
