What are the current legal regulations regarding selling and distributing marijuana?
user
In the United States, marijuana is still considered a Schedule I drug by the Controlled Substances Act, which makes it illegal to cultivate, distribute or possess it without special authorization. However, twenty-three states and Washington DC have enacted laws that allow the use of marijuana for medical purposes and six states (Alaska, California, Colorado, Nevada. Oregon.Washington) allow recreational use as well. Additionally many cities have decided to legalize either medical or recreational marijuana. Although federal laws still generally prohibit such sales and distributions until further notice changes are occurring across the country that may eventually lead to full legalization of marijuana at a federal level in America.
