WHO calls for marijana reclassification

[packman]

"... a potential global shift by way of the World Health Organization (WHO) signaled just how much has changed regarding matters of marijuana. WHO is calling for whole-plant marijuana and cannabis resin to be removed from the extremely restrictive international Schedule IV category it landed on back in 1961, Forbes reports. Additionally, WHO is calling for THC and related isomers to be removed from a 1971 drug treaty and placed in the Schedule I category from the aforementioned 1961 convention.

To be clear, these categories are not the same as (and potential changes would have no direct bearings on) the U.S. government's own classifications. By the current U.S. filing of marijuana under its own Schedule I category, our government is still sending the message that it considers weed to be on par with other Schedule I substances including heroin and peyote.

3. Heroin and peyote are not the same. One is addictive the other opens your mind.

4. Yes, I've never heard of people getting

addicted to peyote or becoming a prostitute to pay for their peyote.
