Transcript text: The possession and sale of marijuana remain illegal under federal law.
True
False
Solution
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.
