Never said a thing about getting high. Just said that it never should've been classified as a schedule 1 drug. This opens it up for research for medical benefits, which is a good thing. If you think it's not, I hope no one you know has ever had cancer or glaucoma or severe pain. But maybe you'd prefer to keep feeding Big Pharma and poisoning people with opioids and synthetic drugs. That's your prerogative. I think it's wise to look for safer alternatives.
What a surprise response. Obviously anyone that thinks that marijuana shouldn't be a class1 drug is a pot head.
Some people just love them some big government, at least as long as it is controlling the things they think should be controlled.
Even a broken clock is right twice a day.
Even cocaine is not a schedule one drug....as does cocaine...
Yes it does! You can get a (federally legal) prescription for coke, but not MJ. If you are in possession of prescribed cocaine you won’t be prosecuted (or at least not convicted).Does it matter?
Correct. Schedule 2
Curious what its medical use is?
Beats the hell out of me. All I know is that when I worked for a pharmacy, we processed several prescription orders for it.
Does it matter?
Anesthetic. Like novocaine or lidocaine.
I don't know if it's true, but I've heard that if (ethanol) alcohol were invented today, it would be a schedule 1 drug.
Do you know that there are two synthetic THC drugs that are FDA approved to treat people, another synthetic which is very close to THC, and one that is actually made from marijuana? Does that seem a bit odd for something that the same govt says "has no currently accepted medical use in treatment in the United States."
I've known 2 people that used it medically, one was for migraines. A couple of puffs and it was Gone in 15-30 minutes if they caught it early enough. Without the Devils weed it was a trip to the ER for a shot, find a ride home, and be literally useless for the rest of the day.Never said a thing about getting high.

Knew a guy with Cystic Fibrosis that was prescribed not only Marinol, but somehow also medical grade marijuana. At the time, he was the oldest living CF patient.
Not the bold part. Nor the first half.Make you wonder how it got the classification from the beginning, eh?
Do we think it was the alcohol lobby or the actual problems that arose from drug abuse at the time?
Ethanol has at least one medical use, methanol poisoning. They have ethanol IV bags. From my limited understanding it works by binding to the methanol allowing the body to safely excrete it.

The feds have a weed farm for people who were involved in medical trials when they were allowed. The people were allowed to keep using it. IIRC it's down to a handful of people and that was a few years ago. From what I understand my dad was in the trial for glaucoma.
