Schedule 2 is the most heavily regulated (different from Schedule 1 only in the sense that Rx's are legal in most cases). This schedule implies a high risk of abuse, diversion, and addiction. It means triplicate Rx's. It means strict DEA compliance. It means putting it with Meth, Cocaine, Fentanyl, Oxycontin, Dexedrine, Adderall, etc, instead of with Heroin and LSD in Schedule I where it is now.
It's basically out of the frying pan into the fire.
If you're going to go on record to remove it from Schedule 1, why not say you want to bump it down to, like, Schedule 4, or even 5?
This is a good explanation of the Schedules ... https://www.vox.com/2014/9/25/6842187/drug-schedule-list-marijuana.
