The answer is True: The possession and sale of marijuana remain illegal under federal law.

Explanation:

  • Under the Controlled Substances Act (CSA), marijuana is classified as a Schedule I substance, which means it is considered to have a high potential for abuse and no accepted medical use at the federal level. This classification makes the possession, sale, and distribution of marijuana illegal under federal law.
  • Despite this federal classification, many states have enacted laws that legalize marijuana for medical and/or recreational use. However, these state laws do not change the federal status of marijuana.
  • The conflict between state and federal laws creates a complex legal landscape, but as of now, federal law still prohibits the possession and sale of marijuana.
