Although marijuana has approved medical uses and less significant negative effects than some other drugs of abuse, it remains classified as a Schedule I drug by the federal government, meaning it is considered among the most dangerous drugs in terms of addictive potential and other toxic effects, and not seen by the government as having legitimate medical uses. Why do you think the federal government continues to maintain this official stance when so many states have opted to legalize medical use of marijuana to varying degrees? Do you see this changing in the near future?
