Why Marijuana Is Not A Drug

HUFFINGTON POST: Why Marijuana Is Not A Drug

'Forty years ago this fall, marijuana was classified a Schedule I Controlled Substance, along with ecstasy, LSD, and heroin. The qualifications required for a drug to reach such an esteemed distinction are threefold: 1. High potential for abuse, 2. No currently accepted medical use, and 3. Lack of accepted safety for use. Additionally, Schedule I drugs are broken down into four categories; and yes, THC - the primary active chemical in marijuana - is listed under "psychedelic substances".'
