The Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP) met with members of Congress this week to discuss multiple issues when a Republican congressman asked a question that would expose the state's immoral and tyrannical war on drugs in an accidental stroke of logic.

Harold Watson "Trey" Gowdy III is a member of the Tea Party movement and the Republican Party and serves as a congressman from South Carolina. He is also the chairman of the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform. During the meeting with the ONDCP this week, Gowdy asked why marijuana was a schedule I drug.

Schedule I "drugs, substances, or chemicals are defined as drugs with no currently accepted medical use and a high potential for abuse," the DEA claims. Given the mountains of evidence showing the beneficial nature of the cannabis plant, the DEA's claims are nothing short of asinine and tyrannical.
