In the U.S. marijuana is a schedule 1 drug, the hardest drug category https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Schedule_I_drugs_(US)

Interesting that the U.S. government ranks the following as the most dangerous drugs
Marijuana, most opioids and opium derivatives, peyote, psilocybin.

The U.S. government ranks as schedule 2, not as bad as scedule 1, the following drugs
hydrocodone, oxycodone, fentanyl, methadone, methamphetamine etc.

Raw opium is listed as schedule 2 but is much harder to obtain in the U.S. than pharma synthetic opioids.


This is actually funny. A medicinal herb, that makes you calm and sleepy is considered a harder drug than meth, a chemical substance that makes you delirious and unable to function without a dose.

My view is that it's our choice what path we choose. When you overwork yourself to death it's all fine to society. when you have depression and eating disorders or are an alcoholic, shit happens, but try to be a drug addict, that's a big nono. You should be in jail!  Grin
