The schedule system I believe was originally in place for medical practitioners. Certain drugs are required to be behind 1 lock minimum in my med cart, others behind 2. Our facility decides to throw them all behind 2 locks.Decriminalize all drugs and remove the "Schedule" system entirely.
If someone wants my drugs in my cart, they can have to whole cart. i would literally LOL at someone trying to lug that thing out of the facility, into a truck, and then roll around on the floor laughing as they tried to open it. It'd be like the world's dumbest criminals where the dude stole the register, and the receipt paper led the police to his home, 2 doors away...
I am neither here nor there regarding marijuana. it does have benefits for diseases and pain management. I don't think it should be open to the public, but I do think that people with end stage cancers and diseases like tourettes could benefit from it.
The war on drugs is dumb, and costs a lot of money yes. But the real burdensome question in the back of my mind is at what cost will it cause our country to roll back it's prohibition? There are pros and cons to it, and I really cannot decide which side of the fence I would be on.
I don't think meth, heroine, or cocaine should be legal. The detrimental effects in such tiny doses is far too much for anyone to be prescribed it for anything. I really don't think I've read of a single THC overdose though, so prescription marijuana has it's merits for me, especially in hospice care settings.
