Marijuana, also known as cannabis is illegal in just about every part of the world. While it has been decriminalized in some countries, its medicinal use remains legal in Canada, Austria, Germany, The Netherlands, Israel, Spain, Italy and Finland. In the United States, federal law has outlawed the use of cannabis. US distribution of legalized marijuana is determined by state laws, while distribution is generally determined by local laws.

Legalization

As of May 2011, there are sixteen US states and the District of Columbia that have legalized medical marijuana. Those states include Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, DC, Delaware, Hawaii, Maine, Michigan, Montana, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, Oregon, Rhode Island, Vermont, Washington. There are 10 states with pending legislation. Those states include Alabama, Connecticut, Idaho, Illinois, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New York, North Carolina, Ohio and Pennsylvania.

Clinical Studies

Marijuana's classification as a Schedule 1 drug by the 1970 Controlled Substance Act labels the drug as having a high potential for risk. This continues to be the basis for the argument that marijuana use will ultimately lead to the use of stronger drugs. Additionally, several respiratory studies have been done that have equated cannabis smoking with the same risks attributed to tobacco use. These studies have suggested that cannabis use has a high potential for acute and chronic bronchitis. Interestingly enough, for every study condemning the use of medical marijuana, there is a study with empirical evidence supporting its use.
