    Marijuana is a schedule 1 drug and therefore “more dangerous and prone to abuse” than fucking prescreption meth. I’m not going to put much weight into drug classifications written largely by companies that stand to profit from their own and their competition’s standing.

      I’m not arguing that the drug schedules are legitimate. Clearly having weed and heroin in the same category is ludicrous. I’m arguing that the authors use of “controlled substances” is technically true but a little dramatic as modafinil is schedule IV. I’ve been prescribed both modafinil and Adderall, and I can say that modafinil does not act or feel like a stimulant, and it’s not habit-forming.
