Message: [QUOTE="Jason Simmons, post: 3106277, member: 8275"] No it’s not. It’s based on the medical evidence provided to the legislators. No-one denies that every drug has side-effects, but the medical evidence is overwhelming that the side effects of some misused drugs Is dangerous, for others it is less so. There are schedules and schedules of different drug types in legislation, which is why I was whinging to McHunt just before, because those schedules change every time a new isotope or salt-derivative or some synthesised variant of an existing drug is created, so it’s impossible for anyone to be current on them all the time. A mate of mine used to chair the Chemical Diversion Desk in the State Drug Squad (who you ring if you can’t figure out if a substance is illegal or not) and even he didn’t know ‘every’ drug in all the schedules. There are too many of them. So they are classified into Dangerous Drugs, Restricted Drugs, Controlled Drugs, Controlled Substances and just plain old ‘Drugs’ at law, based on the medical advice on their specific effects and applications.
