MDMA, magic mushrooms, and cannabis are all also Schedule 1 by US federal law too. All it really takes though to get around it is for a state law to allow it and the state to tell the feds to go fuck themselves and close the door to them and make them challenge it in court if they want to do anything about it, which the feds don't want to do because it would cost ass tons of money to fight in court and would only further prove that drug scheduling is mostly just bullshit and lies.

They'd likely have to show they're worse than booze or cigarettes, which is gonna be awfully hard to accomplish.

    No such requirement.

    Ibuprofen would not survive being compared to the danger of alcohol. A shot-glass full of headache pills can be lethal.

      Are you confusing ibuprofen with acetaminophen?

      Lots of stuff that's poisonous is legal, though. You can buy and drink all the drain cleaner you want.

The federal government has just shown itself willing to militarily invade states that it doesn't like. (See also the imperial boomerang)
