Indeed, it makes more sense to decriminalize obviously non-dangerous drugs, and revamp the schedules to get rid of 1930s "reefer madness" mentalities. The scientific and medical communities have a much better understanding of which drugs are actually dangerous and addictive, yet the federal government is still policing on a 100 year old level.

And I say that as someone who has never taken an illegal drug nor drank alcohol, and I avoid prescription and OTC medication as much as possible (I believe in living healthy in all aspects, though I concede that certain drugs are unavoidable for some people, including me with my wonderful thyroid issues).
