A common argument among pro-legalization proponents is regulating marijuana would mean fewer kids were able to get it because they would need an I.D. for purchase, just like alcohol.
Are there really places where it's easier to find a dealer than find someone over 21 who just doesn't give a poo poo?

Are these conservative writers just stereotypical giggling stoners or something? Slapping their knees while they toss out tired old pot jokes?
Considering I was reading a pro-pot site trying to decide what weed-themed name to give the Superbowl, I'm pretty sure it has very little to do being conservative and everything to do with weed being the third-easiest thing to extract cheap laughs from behind farts and sexual innuendo.

Does Congress defining it as Schedule I mean that it can't be de-scheduled but by Congress? Or can it be de-scheduled in the normal manner?
The Attorney General can deschedule a controlled substance, including ones in section 812 (which were only put there as an initial list).

What might stop it though is that I don't think it can be scheduled any lower than the equivalent in the Convention on Psychotropic Substances treaty, which is effectively Schedule II or III.

The President can unilaterally abrogate a treaty though? Carter did it with the Taiwan defense treaty and the Supreme Court abstained from ruling on it since it was a political question.
The Convention on Psychotropic Substances was implemented via a legislative act (the Psychotropic Substances Act), so no, not in this case.
