1. Except, of course, he's wrong, because the classification is wrong.

“The CSA sets forth five classifications or schedules for controlled substances. Marijuana, along with heroin and LSD, are schedule I drugs without accepted medical purpose and which have a high potential for abuse. Smoking marijuana remains a federal offense, and growers and distributors could and should be prosecuted,” Fleming said.


Marijuana is improperly scheduled as a class one drug, because there are proven medical uses for it, and it is not addictive.

The fact that he, as an MD is spouting the nonsense he does makes me glad I'm not under his medical care.
