DEA administration law judge, Francis Young, stated, "In strict medical terms marijuana is far safer than many foods we commonly consume. For example, eating 10 raw potatoes can result in a toxic response. By comparison, it is physically impossible to eat enough marijuana to induce death. Marijuana in its natural form is one of the safest therapeutically active substances known to man. By any measure of rational analysis marijuana can be safely used within the supervised routine of medical care." Yet, the DEA still holds that marijuana should be Sch. 1, which means that the drug has a high risk for abuse and NO medical value. Instead, pharmaceutical companies use extracts from the plant to make a drug no longer in its natural form, while the plant itself remains illegal. End the monopoly.
