Or better yet, cocaine and morphine are schedule two. So according to the government, I would be better off trying cocaine over Cannabis? These inconsistencies honestly frighten me.

Nicotine is actually the #1 gateway drug!
Schedule I means no recognized medical use and high potential for abuse/addiction. It doesn't go into how potentially lethal a drug is, although the risk is almost implied. That is still the Fed govt's position on marijuana which is a big piece of the controversy with states trying to legalize it. By this definition, Nicotine should be a schedule I drug.
