[QUOTE="Tanis143, post: 3125835, member: 43724"] You know why they are "less stringent"? Because legally a doctor can NOT prescribe cannabis to a patient. As a wrongfully classed Schedule I drug no doctor can prescribe it, nor can any legitimate research be done on it for medicinal benefits. It was classed this way on purpose, written into law so the founder of the DEA could justify the division when back then the only illegal drugs were heroin and cocaine. Here is a good article that explains it. [URL]https://www.cbsnews.com/news/harry-anslinger-the-man-behind-the-marijuana-ban/[/URL] Another reason this was pushed was paper mills. They were losing money to hemp paper, which was easier to grow, easier to harvest and easier to process than wood paper. By classifying the entire species of plant as illegal it made even the low to no THC hemp plant illegal to grow, even for textile purposes. When the "refer madness" hit, they jumped on board to kill a competitor. Basically marijuana was made illegal for no real health concern, but to make people money. Keeping it illegal does nothing but harm society. And yet people still buy into the rhetoric that legalizing it will cause problems. [/QUOTE]
