By using the word "drug" (which I personally don't like, especially not related to MJ)
I'm thinking automaticly on the 'black market', drug addicts and junkies.
Maybe, we in Germany are using the word "medicine" if something is allowed to use (= by prescription).
(A friend of mine needs to use morphine http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morphine#Legal_classification
- in one country a drug, in another a controlled substance -
under a strict supervision by specialist doctors and he isn't a drug user!
He is, through a very bad accident, a seriously ill patient, who deserves medicine for his pain)

Propofol (Diprivan) is unscheduled in the United States, but is available by prescription only.
This means that sales and distribution are allowed only by those with a license and only to those with a prescription
(according to FDA regulations). Possession is not illegal even without a prescription.
Referring to the last sentence above:
Without a prescription you can not get it.
WHO - other than the manufacturer or a pharmacy of course - could possess propofol (legally) without any prescription???
