I know that everybody already knows that Cannabis is wrongly classified as a schedule I drug, but I was just looking through the list and saw that some drugs like crack and PCP are classified as schedule II and are therefore deemed less harmful! Has our government ever read a reseach paper or anything? I mean, at least I can understand from an anthropological aspect the motivations of the US culture that lead to the class I scheduling of Cannabis, but why in the world would they deem some of the most harmful substances to be less harmful? I also noticed that Marinol, or synthetic THC, is a class III substance! LSD also happens to be class III. There's also at least one powerful, and potentially quite dangerous and addictive tranquilizer that is a class IV drug. Hmmm. Well at least I now know that the drug scheduling system isn't based on any bonified scientific evidence. I also just noticed that some opiates are listed as some of the safest drugs.
