When Is the DEA Going to Ban Alcohol and Cigarettes Since They Have No ” Accepted Medical Use”?

Question by Welcome to Amerika Mr. 0rwell !!: When is the DEA going to ban alcohol and cigarettes since they have no ” accepted medical use”?
Basically a group asked the U.S. federal government to reschedule marijuana (not even legalize or decriminalize). Currently marijuana is in the same category as heroin (obviously absurd) and is considered a schedule 1 narcotic (aka worst of the worst according to the government).

Not only did the government take NINE YEARS to issue an opinion, but it was the same weak @ss argument they always give: Marijuana has potential for abuse and no accepted medical uses.

So if the government is going to be retarded about this, let’s at least be consistent.

When do alcohol and cigarettes become illegal since both have “a high potential for abuse” and “no accepted medical use in the United States, and lacks an acceptable level of safety for use even under medical supervision.”??

In a letter from DEA Administrator Michele M. Leonhart, the agency said that based on the recommendation of the Department of Health and Human Services they were denying the request because marijuana a has “a high potential for abuse, has no accepted medical use in the United States, and lacks an acceptable level of safety for use even under medical supervision.”

When someone figures out a way to replace the tax revenue the sale of these things generates. They care more about the money than people’s health.
