MARIJUANA NEEDS TO BE RECLASSIFIED AS A DRUG

I strongly agree with the Daily Emerald's Editorial, "Measures Are A
Step Backward For Oregon" (Nov. 4, 2010); sick citizens should have
better availability of the God-given plant (see the first page of the
Bible) cannabis (marijuana).

One thing that may help is for the federal government to change
cannabis' classification from a Schedule I substance, along with
heroin, to a lesser level. Meth and cocaine are only Schedule II
substances. Schedules III or IV would allow cannabis to be sold at
health food stores along with other healing herbs.
