DEA: Marijuana to remain illegal under federal law
- 8 years ago
Marijuana advocates who hoped the cascade of states moving to legalize medical marijuana would soften the federal stance faced disappointment Thursday as the DEA announced it will keep marijuana illegal for any purpose.
Marijuana will remain a Schedule 1 substance under the Controlled Substances Act.
Substances in Schedule 1 are determined by the Food and Drug Administration to have no medical use.
States that allow marijuana for medical use or legalize recreational use remain in defiance of federal law.
