POLL: Do you think weed is more addictive than cocaine?

Ocean County Freeholder Director Gerry P. Little noted that marijuana remains a Schedule 1 controlled substance under the U.S. Controlled Substances Act of 1970. Schedule 1 drugs, substances or chemicals are defined as drugs with no accepted medical use under federal law and a high potential for abuse, according to the Drug Enforcement Administration.

The freeholder said that puts marijuana in the same federal classification as heroin, LSD, Ecstasy, Quaaludes and peyote – all Schedule 1 drugs. Cocaine is a Schedule 2 drug.
