What is the maximum allowable milligrams per dosage unit for a CIII classification of opium?

  1. 20mg

  2. 25mg

  3. 30mg

  4. 35mg

The correct answer is: 20mg

The correct maximum allowable milligrams per dosage unit for a Schedule III (CIII) classification of opium is 30 mg. Schedule III drugs include certain narcotic substances that have a lower potential for abuse compared to Schedule I and II drugs but are still regulated. In the context of opium, the 30 mg limit refers to the quantity of opium that can be present in a single dosage unit (like a tablet or capsule) for it to be classified as a CIII substance. If a dosage unit contains more than this limit, it would be classified in a higher schedule due to increased potential for abuse. The option given, which states 20 mg, is below this threshold, making it an incorrect choice. The other options, 25 mg and 35 mg, also do not align with the legal definition, with 35 mg exceeding the allowable limit, making it unsuitable within the regulations governing controlled substances.
