First of all let me start that I been in the medical profession for the last 23 years and have worked most of that time in either ER or mental health. I have seen first hand the good and bad point of drugs. To have them like in the 19 century, is scare as I have medical book from that era and the death from meds like opiun and cocaine were out rageous. The main reason that they were regulated is that people were dying. Currently I am working on my prescriptive privlage with my advanced practice nurse status. Some of the drug you have listed are leagal with a prescription, but have a high degree of addictiveness and abuse. Some like marajauna we are realized have limited medical uses, especially in the treatment of HIV and cancer. Will their status be changed, we have to wait and see. I don't see cocaine being change or the halucigen being change as they don't serve a medical purpose at all. Though my tribe does us peyote for religous reason, but that a different story. The other problem with regulating these is regulating what is in the drug as all drugs by law are to be free of contaminants and with off the stree drugs like meth, crack, and opiods they are far from free. But there are great if you want to ingest a whole host of toxic chemicals.
