Good question. Ask the DEA since they determined that apparently there is a medicinal use that separates the two.
Well, for freebase cocaine they determined that there isn't one, given that it's schedule 1. That's why I was asking what medical use you think it does have that would warrant it being schedule 2 like cocaine hydrochloride.
As far as I know, the freebase form legitimately doesn't have the medical uses that the salt form does, due to the poor solubility, so the difference in scheduling with cocaine is a poor example of the DEA's shittyness. Better to stick with good examples like their mis-scheduling of cannabis
