I hate how this is always on fucking point. These people don’t have empathy until it affects them in a personal way, then all of a sudden it’s “who let this happen?!”

It was you, you fucking dipshits, by not having the emotional intelligence to be able to think for one second in another person’s shoes or think out the end conclusion to a piece of rhetoric.

It is arbitrary. While what classification a substance is may have some grounding in research, it’s mostly up to what interest group has either lobbied to get something under or whatever group law enforcement wants to be able to get easy charges for. Cannabis was Sched I because it made it easy for law enforcement to get big sentences for minorities and the counter culture participants of the day. Same thing with LSD and psilocybin.

All the DEA scheduling is just pick and choose your charge for whatever ideological ax they want to grind. Hence why things don’t line up with reality
