I'd be OK with moving marijuana to schedule II. Would you be OK with moving tobacco to schedule I and alcohol to schedule II?Would you be OK then moving marijuana to a schedule 2 or lower drug?

The only reason alcohol and tobacco are "legal" is because of the public's love affair with them. I'm not convinced that it's right to raise money by taxing the public's weakness. More than half of my patients use some form of tobacco. Taxing them and having "smoke free" zones isn't working in Milan, TN. Therefore, IMO, the only argument for marijuana is from a medical standpoint.
I don't smoke pot. I am, however, strongly opposed to making criminals out the majority of the American public. It should be treated the same way alcohol is.
