Marijuana Law… Schedule 1?

Question by implicitProdigy: Marijuana Law… Schedule 1?
Can someone makes any sense as to why marijuana a scheduled in schedule 1??? Next to LSD PCP and methamphetamine…. this is what happens. A kid in highschool tries marijuana and thinks to them self…. wow, this isn’t too bad of a drug, it isnt tooo bad like they say…. Its not that impairing to my senses…. if Marijuana is a scheduled 1 drug, then I will try another drug that’s not that bad in the same classification, so then they try methamphetamine since its in the same scheduling, and then their life leads to straight hell. Why haven’t we done something about this here in the US. I don’t smoke pot myself, but how on earth can we put it in the same field as meth… Marijuana is in schedule 1 along with pcp, LSD, and so on… And then Schedule 2 which is supposed to be less addictive is Cocaine/crack (remember LESS ADDICTIVE), Methadone, Dilaudids(hydromorphone),Demerol, Oxycontin,

So tell me does does this make any FUCKING SENSE! We have jails that are FILLED with non-violent offenders…. Tobacco has caused
more than 240,000 deaths last year. Marijuana has not been medically reported to be the direct cause of death EVER. Alcohol leads to SOOO many diseases. Did you know that when marijuana is smoked it does not have the carcinogens (the things in tobacco that causes cancer)…as it does in cigarettes. I will tell you why we cant legalize it. Because If we did then all the prison guards, rehab counselors, Jail maintenance men, police men (the list goes on and on) would be cut by at least 10%….. I don’t understand why so if anyone has a clue lemme know!
If you think your going to try to pull the whole Mairjuana is addictive thing with me or anyone else here who has actually smoked it, your the one kidding yourself. You must believe anything the “governemnt” tells you… Did you know that they also said “marijuana increases the chances DRAMATICALLY for a black man to rape a white woman” or the quote that “it turns you into a killer” Are you seriously telling me your not aware of all the marijuana propaganda films they made to try to decieve the public. You should seriously look it up. And how can you say there is no “medical use for smoking marijuana” when thousands of doctors are prescribing the use of “smokeable marijuana for cancer patients” also for anorexics, and nausea for aids victims…. Do you not watch the news??? By the way Marinol (the drug you were referring to) produces a higher level of sedation than regular marijuana sold on the street.. So before you pull a “I love the government and all the lies they tell me” spare me
