Is it not completely nonsensical that Soma is not a controlled substance but breaks down in the body into meprobamate, which is a Schedule 4???? Our government's infinite wisdom never ceases to amaze me.

By the way, in just a few states like Georgia, Soma IS legally classified as a Schedule 4. Sucks for me because it really is a great muscle relaxant, at least if taken only occasionally, but it's really hard to get a prescription for it here.
