Much has already been made of Marijuana being reclassified from a "Schedule I" drug (drugs with no currently accepted medical use and a high potential for abuse) to a "Schedule III" drug (drugs with a moderate to low potential for physical and psychological dependence). I think this is a good move.
But FFS, how is Xanax classified as a "Schedule IV" drug (drugs with a low potential for abuse and low risk of dependence)?
