Schedule 1 drugs are prohibited. Heroin, MDMA, mescaline, GHB, etc.

Correct.
"Schedule 1 (I) drugs, substances, or chemicals are defined by the federal government as drugs with no currently accepted medical use and a high potential for abuse. Schedule 1 (I) drugs are the most dangerous drugs of all the drug schedules with potentially severe psychological or physical dependence."
Which part do you disagree with?

You said you don’t want to prohibit alcohol, but class it schedule 1. That’s a prohibition.
Ah, but reading more carefully you’d prefer to remove everything from the schedule. Now I see it’s not inconsistent. Took me a few reads to get there.

Yeah, I could have worded that better.
If you are an American, I challenge you to start noticing:
"Oh man, I was soooo shitfaced..."
"I was so hungover..."
"Dude, I don't even know how I made it home..."
"Nah, I'm fine to drive..."
"I'm sorry, it was the booze talking..."
"I need a fuckin' drink after this..."
"One for the road..."
"I don't give a shit, I need to piss..."
"Fuuuuuck it!"
Notice the advertising in convenience stores. The standees of scantily clad women holding a frosty bottle of beer. Usually near the Slurpee section. Or maybe they came and switched it out to a football playeror a jolly Santa made out of 12 packs. Tis the season!
America needs to wake up. I don't believe in prohibition of any drug, but I believe even in the current system it should be reclassified Schedule I.
