The current way we determine the legal status of a drug is so inconsistently applied that it's a joke

 Sec. 812. Schedules of controlled substances

(1) Schedule I. -

(A) The drug or other substance has a high potential for abuse.

(B) The drug or other substance has no currently accepted medical use in treatment in the United States.

(C) There is a lack of accepted safety for use of the drug or other substance under medical supervision.

Please explain why Alcohol and Nicotine are not schedule I drugs

Pot has a low potential for abuse.  The US government supplies it to 7 people for medical purposes.  Why is it a Schedule I drug?
