The topic of marijuana has always been an interesting debate. Some say marijuana will only cause harm if it's legalized. While others see the benefits of it, if it's legalized.
The primary misconception of marijuana is that it is good or bad. This idea of categorizing marijuana into one of those two groups is outdated. By labeling marijuana as good or bad will only hinder its beneficial use in a medical setting.
Currently, marijuana is a Schedule I drug meaning it has no currently accepted medical use and a high potential for abuse. While methamphetamine, a highly toxic drug where we can see the effects it has on the brain and body, is a Schedule II drug. This means it has a high potential for abuse but has some medical benefits.
