Government Regulation

On the federal level, cannabis remains illegal. The US federal government classifies cannabis, along with heroin and cocaine, as a Schedule I drug with a high potential for abuse and little to no medical benefit. However, in recent years, many US states have enacted reform measures and passed legislation to legalize the use and sale of cannabis, although regulations vary by state. Below are links to selected state regulatory bodies.
