👉 A prohibited fluid, often referred to as a restricted or controlled substance, is a type of liquid that is regulated by law due to its potential for misuse, abuse, or harmful effects. This category includes drugs like cocaine, heroin, methamphetamine, and certain prescription medications such as opioids and benzodiazepines when misused. These substances are typically listed on controlled substance schedules, such as the Controlled Substances Act in the United States, and their use is strictly monitored to prevent illegal distribution, diversion, and addiction. The term "prohibited fluid" emphasizes that these liquids are not only dangerous but also subject to legal penalties for possession, distribution, or manufacture.
