Cocaine and its related metabolites have accepted medical use. Particularly by ENTs and such.

Schedule I drugs have no known medical use and high abuse potential, which marijuana currently falls under. Whether or not you agree with that classification is an entirely seperate issue.

I really can't stand when objective issues of science and medicine are framed as something to "agree" or "disagree" with.

The scheduling of cannabis is crap, and literally everybody knows it. The DEA has to embarrassingly dodge the question whenever it's brought up.

What is objective here? The only objective truth is biological determinism. The rest is political garbage that I have no interest in discussing.
