Moving pot to Schedule 2 is a smart move. Schedule 1 is for street drugs that have no purpose in medicine (acid, dmt, and other psychedelics). Schedule 2 is for "highly addictive" drugs like morphine, cocaine, methadone, fentanyl, etc that still have medicinal purposes. So having mj as a C2 makes a little more sense- I believe it should be moved further down the list because it doesn't have the terrible physical dependence that the other schedule 2's have. Most pharmacies have marijuana in pill form, so having it as a C1 was harsh and kind of a catch-22

unfortunately the pill form marijuana u speak of, dronabinol, does not appear to have the same overall effect of smoking marijuana. while it is somewhat common for oncologists to prescribe dronabinol (which, yes is a schedule II) to cancer pts for n/v or appetite improvement, many who have smoked marijuana previously say dronabinol can't hold a candle to the relief that actually smoking marijuana provides.

i don't mind marijuana being dispensed from special dispenseries dedicated to providing medical marijuana alone, but i sure as hell don't want to be in charge of a) upkeep of marijuana plants b) dealing w/ even greater probabilities of theft cuz all u pot smoking hippies want some weed : P already risking my ass over some oxycodone !

the entire DEA scheduling system is out of whack

desoxyephedrine aka methamphetamine is only schedule 2
oxycontin, fentanyl, and dilaudid are all stronger than heroin and schedule 2
pcp is even fucking schedule 2

diazepam, aplrazolam, klonopin, etc. are all schedule 4 and are amongst the most addictive substances in the world

but ecstasy, pot, lsd, and mescaline which all hold no potential for addiction, have insanely high LD50s, and prove beneficial in psycophamacology are all schedule 1

???

the last century's worth of anti-drug propaganda and legislation is going to take generations to repair, god bless the internet, erowid ftw

There are around 70 psychoactive compounds in marijuana that we have identified, some are more readily available through different routes of administration. This is a great study about the effects of the primary cannabinoids http://archpsyc.ama-assn.org/cgi/content/full/66/1/95
