Cannabis is a Schedule I drug in the United States. By definition that means two agencies within the federal government, the DEA and the FDA, have designated the plant as having no accepted medical use and a high potential for abuse.

Despite no deaths caused by cannabis sativa to date, due to the federal scheduling it is resultantly lumped into the same category as:

Heroin (diacetylmorphine)
Mescaline (Peyote)
MDMA (3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine aka ecstasy)
LSD (Lysergic acid diethylamide)
Psilocybin

Cannabis has no medical use? Countless studies say otherwise…

By the way, yet another government agency, the National Cancer Institute (NCI) have released their own reports that clearly show cannabis has at least several medical benefits. Even though this report directly contradicts the current scheduling by other agencies within the exact same government, the confusing and conflicting laws still stand.

Below is a Massive List of Studies

Note: Many more studies exist and are in the works despite federal government policy making research very difficult and risky to conduct. It is safe to say mankind has only scratched the surface of what this unique plant is capable of.
