The Hypocrisy of Marijuana as a Schedule 1 Drug



Cannabis, or Marijuana is a schedule 1 drug, along with ecstasy, heroin, and LSD. The definition of a schedule 1 drug is that it is dangerous and has no foreseen medical use with a high abuse rate. The government of the United States who applied this category also holds a patent ( US6630507 B1 ) for Cannabis as an antioxidant and neuroprotectant. By their very own definition, the classification of marijuana is not correct.

People have been found to have died from overdoses of alcohol, nicotine, caffeine, but so far not one reported case of cannabis. Cannabis has been found to reduce cancer tumors, help treat diabetes, restlessleg syndrome, symptoms of schizophrenia, Parkinson's, Glaucoma, Celiac Disease,  help with pain and nausea and improve cardiovascular function.

Sanjay Gupta recently aired a documentary on CNN called “WEED” where he speaks of the benefits, and this video sums up real quickly the hypocrisy of cannabis.
