That's interesting, because chloroform (trichloromethane) isn't on any controlled substance schedules. It's an industrial solvent and used in different chemical processes. I've used it in DNA extraction, and am able to order it without filing any paperwork for controlled substances.
According to my local Sheriff's Office its considered to be in the same class as coke
Cocaine is a Schedule II Controlled Substance.
You can read the entire USC 21 Chapter 13 here:
http://uscode.house.gov/download/pls/21C13.txt I've taken the liberty to cut/paste the Schedule II drugs below:
SCHEDULE II.
(A) The drug or other substance has a high potential for abuse.
(B) The drug or other substance has a currently accepted medical use in treatment in the United States or a currently accepted medical use with severe restrictions.
(C) Abuse of the drug or other substances may lead to severe psychological or physical dependence.
SCHEDULE II.
(a) Unless specifically excepted or unless listed in another schedule, any of the following substances whether produced directly or indirectly by extraction from substances of vegetable origin, or independently by means of chemical synthesis, or by a combination of extraction and chemical synthesis:
1. Opium and opiate, and any salt, compound, derivative, or preparation of opium or opiate.
2. Any salt, compound, derivative, or preparation thereof which is chemically equivalent or identical with any of the substances referred to in clause (1), except that these substances shall not include the isoquinoline alkaloids of opium.
3. Opium poppy and poppy straw.
4. coca leaves, except coca leaves and extracts of coca leaves from which cocaine, ecgonine, and derivatives of ecgonine or their salts have been removed; cocaine, its salts, optical and geometric isomers, and salts of isomers; ecgonine, its derivatives, their salts, isomers, and salts of isomers; or any compound, mixture, or preparation which contains any quantity of any of the substances referred to in this paragraph.
(b) Unless specifically excepted or unless listed in another schedule, any of the following opiates, including their isomers, esters, ethers, salts, and salts of isomers, esters and ethers, whenever the existence of such isomers, esters, ethers, and salts is possible within the specific chemical designation:
5. Alphaprodine, Anileridine, Bezitramide, Dihydrocodeine, Diphenoxylate, Fentanyl, Isomethadone, Levomethorphan, Levorphanol, Metazocine, Methadone, Methadone-Intermediate, 4-cyano-2-dimethylamino-4, 4-diphenyl butane, Moramide-Intermediate, 2-methyl-3-morpholino-1, 1-diphenylpropane-carboxylic acid, Pethidine, Pethidine-Intermediate-A, 4-cyano-1-methyl-4-phenylpiperidine, Pethidine-Intermediate-B, ethyl-4-phenylpiperidine-4-carboxylate, Pethidine-Intermediate-C, 1-methyl-4-phenylpiperidine-4-carboxylic acid, Phenazocine, Piminodine, Racemethorphan, Racemorphan.
(c) Unless specifically excepted or unless listed in another schedule, any
injectable liquid which contains any quantity of methamphetamine, including its
salts, isomers, and salts of isomers
Nowhere in the code does it list Chloroform.
Nor does it list formyl trichloride, methane trichloride, methyl trichloride methenyl trichloride or TCM (all commercial names for chloroform).
Again; it's a commonly used solvent which is commercially available. If it were a controlled substance like you suggest it is, you wouldn't be able to purchase it from a chemical supply catalogue.
