The decriminalization of marijuana has been a slow uphill battle for proponents of legalization, but it appears to be paying off. After last week’s elections there are now ten American states that allow recreational use of marijuana and 33 states that have legalized medicinal use.
At the federal level, marijuana is still a Schedule I controlled substance, on the list alongside heroin, LSD, MDMA (ecstacy), and peyote. While the FDA has shown no signs of legalizing marijuana, many are asking the question of whether or not he U.S. will follow Canada’s lead in decriminalizing marijuana usage, either for recreational or medicinal usage.
