Obama Lies to Jake Tapper About His Ability to Reschedule Marijuana

38. Can you cite a treaty that requires cannabis to be Schedule One? If not, you have no

argument. Reschedule does not legalize. Schedule One is the most controlled level, Meth and Heroine are less restricted and are claimed to have medical value. Treaties speak of legality of drugs, not of administrative scheduling of those drugs and they do not dictate those schedule levels. If cannabis was moved to the same schedule as Meth, it would still be illegal, like Meth, but a doctor could prescribe it and States could make regulations around it.
Show me this treaty that says Meth can be level 2 but cannabis must remain schedule 1. If you can't show it, it does not exist. And it does not exist.
To reschedule is not to legalize. It is not restricted by treaty, although legalization just might be. But schedule 2 drugs are still illegal, Meth is illegal, very much so. So changing the scheduling is not the same as legalizing. And only legalization is a possible treaty issue. Scheduling is not, that's purely our own business.
