- dllthomas 14y ago... are you saying that the DEA currently enforces alcohol prohibition, or did you missread what I said?
- pstuart 14y agoI was referring to other drugs, specifically cannabis. This petition was in direct response to the DEA's recent refusal to remove it from Schedule I status. This keeps it in the same class of drugs as heroin and cocaine.

- dllthomas 14y agoYes, that was precisely my point: we are currently doing it for other substances, no reason I see we couldn't include alcohol. Plenty of reason we shouldn't, of course, but I think most people here agree those reasons apply to things we're currently banning, which is the thrust of the whole discussion.
