But honestly, they keep finding new ways to be despicable.

I think Americans are realizing that democracy is a participation sport, and the the government is ours if we want it to be. I feel like we got complacent and hoped some other third party would do the work for us. Seems like we have to learn that lesson every generation.

Ostensibly, the schedule is meant to monitor drugs *which have the ability to form physical dependence*.
This step makes the schedule a list of drugs that lawmakers dislike for feelings reasons.
