It is important to know how dea scheduling works before making statements like this.

Schedule I controlled substances

(A) The drug or other substance has a high potential for abuse.

(B) The drug or other substance has no currently accepted medical use in treatment in the United States.

Schedule II controlled substances

(A) The drug or other substance has a high potential for abuse.

(B) The drug or other substance has a currently accepted medical use in treatment in the United States or a currently accepted medical use with severe restrictions.

The difference is schedule II have medical use according to the gov't schedule I have no medical use.

Smoked marajuana has no medical use but Marinol (thc in pill form) is a Schedule III

Cocaine is used medically as a topical anesthetic so it is Schedule II

Crystal meth is used medically as Desoxyn so it is Schedule II

Nintendo Reveals New Wii Controller 89

Posted by Soulskill on Saturday February 28, 2009 @02:04AM from the not-so-different-after-all dept.

IGN reports that Nintendo has unveiled the Classic Controller Pro, a new input device for the Wii of a more typical design than the Wii Remote. "From the info we've already got on the PRO, we know it's a larger controller, not only in thickness, height, and width, but it also makes use of one of the more well-received concepts out there, which is the extension grips, which gives it a GameCube, Xbox Controller S/360 look. As you can see, the Z buttons (Z/L and Z/R) are larger now, and placed like the R1/R2, L1/L2 setup found with Sony controllers. The PRO even borrows from the Nyko Classic Controller and Click Grip."
