1. Marijuana AND heroin are Schedule 1 drugs

PCP, cocaine, and methamphetamine are all Schedule 2.

3. are you sure you didn't reverse these?

I thought Marijuana and heroin were schedule 2, and PCP, cocaine and meth Schedule 1.

4. Cocaine and PCP both have legit medicinal use

Technically ALL of them have some medical value, but, neeeeh.

6. An explanation

PCP was once used as a veterinary anesthetic, but not so much anymore. In the 1950s, Parke-Davis marketed PCP under the brand name Sernyl as a surgical anesthetic for humans, but it produced too many complications and side effects. Ketamine has since been synthesized from PCP and is used as an anesthetic during surgery. Ketamine is also a Schedule 2 drug.

Cocaine was (and still is, in rare instances) used by doctors as a nasal anesthetic. Safer alternatives are now available in most cases.

Methamphetamine is used to treat some severe cases of ADHD and narcolepsy. It is not considered a first-line treatment for such syndromes, as far as I know - doctors usually try other stimulants like Ritalin first. (Ritalin is also Schedule 2.)

7. Where Does this New World Order Puppet Think...

Where does this new world order puppet think the federal government gets the power to punish those who possess or sell marijuana, because such power is NOT authorized int he constitution.

Is there an amendment I don't know about?
