Contradictory Term: Schedule 1 Drugs

[AWT]

Schedule 1 Drugs are illegal because they have high abuse potential, no medicinal use, and severe safety concerns; for example, narcotics such as Heroin, LSD, and cocaine.

This seems contradictory since opium, synthesized into morphine is used 'medicanlly' in surgeries both before and after surgery.

Am I missing something? Heroin and opium and morphine from the same plant I assume.

Yes, cocaine and poppy derivatives are not schedule one.

That is a very big miss IMO.

Now pot, that is schedule one. That is some terrifying shit. It makes brown people rape white women. Cant be having any of that nonsense.

As of July 2015, all residents of Oregon, (including the major city of Portland) became able to legally grow up to 4 marijuana plants in their home for recreational use. Here at ILGM, we can’t think of any better recreation than marijuana growing.
