Frank and Paul want to decriminalize pot –let’s do more

If their House bill becomes law, up to 100 grams (3.6 ounce) of marijuana would be decriminalized, as would “personal transfer” of up to 1 ounce.

It’s good as far as it goes, but it could do better. Move marijuana off Schedule 1 classification of controlled substances.

I mean, stuff like various forms of opium, methodone, morphine, hydrocodone (Vicodin), oxycodone (OxyContin), hydromorphone (Dilaudid), amphetamine, methamphetamine and phenobarbitol are all on the list of allegedly safer Schedule II drugs.
