because it inhibits research.

our govt needs to move mj to a lower schedule in order to allow more research to go forward and to reflect the reality of cannabis.

reefer madness is an example of govt. intransigence, not good policy. if the majority of arrests were not for marijuana, I guess law makers would be more likely to reconsider. but, as a cash cow, I guess that's more important for some states - the money from the legal system, rather than the medical and entertainment sectors of the economy.
