I never understood how people can think it's a good idea to allow the people who fight drugs (DEA) can determine what categories drugs go under. Wouldn't it make sense to instead allow scientists (if anyone) to determine such things? I mean the people who actually studying the product in question seem to be better judges on whether the product in question should be legal than those who profit off of the product being illegal (by receiving more government handouts to "fight" those drugs).

How ANYONE can think the DEA should have any say in determining the schedule of drugs (rather than researchers who actually have facts to determine such a move) is beyond me.

And notice that the legal drugs - alcohol, tobacco, and "medicine" - all have a higher death rate than even the illegal drugs. 

I had an argument with a housemate a couple months ago - he's more of a traditional Catholic conservative type. And he's like "If there were studies showing marijuana wasn't bad for you, don't you think it would be legalized?" I'm like, "Um, no..." 

Marijuana as we all know is a psychoactive narcotic drugs. I agree, it has no medical use. In facts it damages brain cells and it will cause many effects to human bodyand mind. And for sure, if someone is using marijuana it will lead him to addiction. - Dr. Paul Perito
