Why Are the Drugs………?

Question by Frickin AWESOME: Why are the drugs………?
That are scheduled, in such an odd order. LSD,weed,DMT, and others are schedule 1. Coke is schedule 2.. and some how xanax is schedule 4????

Best answer:

Answer by Wade H
Drugs are “scheduled” according to “potential for abuse”. The lower the schedule number the more likely a drug has been determined to be problematic. In the case of schedule I drugs there is no federal provision for any medical use or proscription.

Schedule II drugs are dependence causal, have a medical use determination but are not deemed as serious a threat for abuse as Schedule III drugs. Schedule IV drugs are determined to be even less a threat but have potential for abuse and do cause addiction as well. Etc.

These are somewhat accepted definitions; but there is “controversy” ~ largely from those dependent on said drugs.

Answer by Dan
date rape is not a crime unto itself. sexual battery is sexual battery. Florida has a provision in our laws that separates a rape from a situation where a woman (or man, for that matter) is somehow drugged to make them vulnerable. That is treated as an aggravating factor.

Answer by Brandon A
I think all rapes should be equal regardless of the date you commit it.

Actually not all date rape is rape.Some times it is women regretting what they did calling it rape. But if you slip something into her drink to make her amaendable I think there should be 2 felony charges and not one.
