Controlled Substance Act

Controlled Substance Act -Schedule 1 Drugs Schedule I substances are those that have the following findings: The drug or other substance has a high potential for abuse. The drug or other substance has no currently accepted medical use in treatment in the United States. There is a lack of accepted safety for use of the drug or other substance under medical supervision. That's funny, cause if the FDA states not enough testing or research has been done on the effects of Marijuana for medical uses......... then how could you say that it.... Has a high potential for abuse........ or even though many states have it legal for medical use(which indicates testing and research has been done by many people) with the first being in 1996, That there is no current medical use........ and if cigarettes kill 435,000 a year and alcohol kills about another 100,000 how something that has no known deaths associated to its use can lack accepted safe use(I'm pretty sure many people from leading experts to typical users have stated publicly how unsafe tobacco and alcohol use is....well except the U.S. Surgeon General of course who believes getting cancer from tobacco smoke is safer than not getting cancer from marijuana smoke ) Given the many medical uses of marijuana, as well as the market projected to be at $40 billion a year, which tobacco is $1.7 billion annually. It seems the reason it's a phase 1 drug is based on how much pharmaceutical companies and other textile companies would loose in profits if legalized. When your goal in life is to obtain as much money as possible(no matter how worthless the money is or how worthless a person becomes) laws start reflecting this, seen when out of a $1000 fine the court gets $100 and Bureaucrats get $900(which is suppose to be for local infrastructure and law enforcement, thereby making streets unsafe and not managed. Which causes crime to go up, leading to more money in the hands of Bureaucrats and less in the hands of the people... causing poverty and an ever increasing Wealth gap in America.
