Ok, I know this has been know but please explain to me, why is it so?

Read the criteria that a substance needs to have in order to be classified as a schedule I drug, Marijuana has none of these.

Now read the criteria for a drug being schedule II

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Control...edule_II_drugs

WHY is Cocaine classifed under II and not I?!

Now I dont want marijuana to be on these "schedules" period but one of the criterias for schedule II is "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." So why isnt marijuana under schedule II or any other one yet?
