Marijuana Is an Herb Not a Drug
RECEIVED Fri., Dec. 17, 2004
Dear Editor,
Your article stated, "Marijuana is an illegal drug, listed as a Schedule I drug under the Controlled Substances Act, meaning it has … no ‘medically acceptable’ use" ["The Supremes Take a Hit," News, Dec. 10]. Marijuana is no more a drug than any other medicinal herb. If the classification were changed, perception and laws might follow.
