Pot/weed/marijuana is classified with herion and cocaine. That is crazy. That's like comparing asprine to alcohol. Both might relieve pain, but they're going to acheive the desired goal in a whole different manner, and have drastically different effects on the person taking them.

Great Britain finally had the good sense to reclassify pot into a lower category, I believe it's Class C over there, than herion. A lot of other 1st world countries have already done so.

It kind of makes the whole drug control effort a bit of a joke. When someone is trying to say that marijuana, cocaine and herion are all the same, it's really kills the credibility of the whole effort. Are wine and grain alchol the same? Sure, they're both alochol. Drink a bottle of wine and you feel a bit tipsy. Drink a bottle of grain alcohol and you're heading for the morgue.
