While here, that same group makes up the core of both our major political parties.

Appparently because cocaine can be used as a topical painkiller for surgeries, it's Schedule II, while weed is Schedule I because it has 'no acceptable medical value' AKA the government doesn't want to believe what the medical community believes.
That's what REALLY hacks me off about the American Government. It's sickening. They know it has medicinal value, and they know it's safe but they wont admit it. They know it's been proved, but wont acknowledge it.

The laws are so damn harsh - because im from England im not used that at all. Over here, 9 times outta 10 the police wont even confiscate weed - over in america you can get arrested for having a damn bong.
