The absurd thing is that while marijuana being a schedule I drug which in the DEA's own words:
>> Schedule I drugs are the most dangerous drugs of all the drug schedules with potentially severe psychological or physical dependence.[0]
Cocaine and methamphetamine are both schedule II.
Now I understand the difference is that Schedule II means there are some medical uses but to lump marijuana in with "the most dangerous" but not meth? That just seems ridiculous.
Cocaine and its related metabolites have accepted medical use. Particularly by ENTs and such.
Schedule I drugs have no known medical use and high abuse potential, which marijuana currently falls under. Whether or not you agree with that classification is an entirely seperate issue.
>> Schedule I drugs are the most dangerous drugs of all the drug schedules with potentially severe psychological or physical dependence.[0]
