Marijuana is scheduled as?

Marijuana is scheduled as?

• A. Schedule V
• B. Schedule VI
• C. Schedule II
• D. Schedule I

Answer: (B)

Scheduling under the Controlled Substances Act classifies drugs by potential for abuse, medical usefulness, and safety. Marijuana is categorized as Schedule I, the most restrictive level. This designation means it is considered to have a high potential for abuse, no accepted medical use in the United States, and a lack of accepted safety for use under medical supervision. That federal stance persists even though many states have legalized cannabis in some form. The other options either refer to categories that aren’t real or imply medical use, which does not apply to marijuana at the federal level.
