Marijuana doesn't kill, prohibition does

· Deaths per year resulting from alcohol: 100,000
· Deaths per year resulting from tobacco: 430,000
· Deaths per year resulting from aspirin: 180 - 1000
· Deaths per year resulting from legal drugs: 106,000
· Deaths per year resulting from cannabis use (not the laws against it): Zero (yes, zero.)

Why is a substance whose effects are much less serious then alcohol or tobacco and roughly comparable to drinking coffee still classified as a Schedule I drug ?
