Did you know? Even though there are now 100 peer-reviewed studies proving components of the cannabis plant — primarily cannabidiol (CBD) — can eliminate cancer, the herb is still classified as a Schedule 1 drug in the United States. Indeed, it’s in the same group as LSD, Heroin and Bath Salts — even though it’s killed 0 people in history.

Confusing as it may be, the misclassification hasn’t stopped the herb from being legalized for both medicinal and recreational purposes in the United States. In fact, as of June 2017, 29 states in the U.S. have legalized medical marijuana. Though use of the plant may still be considered taboo in some communities, it is losing its stigma as citizens learn about its variety of uses and medicinal benefits.
