Okay... you have read it... you are of avg/above avg intelligence... Now.... what do you think?? Should it be a SCHEDULE 1 DRUG? It just doesn't meet the requirements to be a schedule 1 drug does it. So, now all they have to do is reclassify it? Right?
This isn't a "how many people want to see it legalized" issue at this point... who cares... The fact is that it is simply misclassified. It is in the wrong SCHEDULE CLASS!
(oh... and there is some treaty put in place somewhere I believe that says if we change a class we have to let them know or something... It's more important than what I have just described, I will research more and let you know in another blog)
Do a little research and edjucate yourself.
