A bold new path: Moving beyond prohibition in Colorado and Washington

[RainDog]

5. I posted a comment on the DEA guy's post

And it hasn't shown up.

I asked why the DEA classifies cannabis as a drug when it's clearly not. It's a plant. And I mentioned that people and companies are allowed to grow poppies in the U.S., even tho that poppy can be used to create an opiod that is far more dangerous than cannabis.

So there's no standard by which to classify cannabis as a drug when it's an unmodified plant substance, when you look at every other actual drug.

To me - removing cannabis from the drug schedules is the only way to go because the rest is just more bureaucratic b.s.
