noncontrolled
Not subject to oversight
Noncontrolled means not subject to regulation or restriction.
The term appears most often in pharmaceutical and legal contexts, where it distinguishes substances that can be freely purchased from controlled substances requiring prescriptions or special permits: Aspirin is a noncontrolled medication.
More generally, it describes anything not under someone's management or authority.
