This petition is for the decriminalization and/or legalization of marijuana, a naturally grown flower that has been classified as a Schedule 1 drug, under the Controlled Substances Act, and is illegal for recreational use in 48 states.
Despite this, marijuana, also known as cannabis or "weed", has been scientifically proven to have very strong medical properties. Cannabis also helps with mental disabilities, such as depression, or those diagnosed with bi-polar disorder.
