Marijuana

Background info

As of November 2022, recreational marijuana is legal in 21 states and DC for adults 21+, and legal for medical use in 39 states.

However, federal law, which supersedes state law, says that the sale, cultivation, and use of cannabis for any reason is illegal.

MJ Biz Daily

Marijuana is a Schedule 1 drug, indicating it is considered more dangerous than Schedule 2 cocaine and meth.

This classification means the government sees no medical value and high abuse potential. To date, no deaths have been tied directly to the use of marijuana.
