Marijuana is a Schedule I Controlled Substance, colloquially known as an illegal drug. It comes from the Cannabis plant.

The effects of marijuana can include a feeling of euphoria, short-term memory loss, mild hallucinations, and an impairment of physical and mental functioning. Marijuana advocates and many scientists have claimed that it has medicinal benefits, particularly for pain relief and appetite stimulation among those with a terminal illness. Doctors have found that other drugs can also deliver these benefits but with considerable side effects. Former Conservative Law Enforcement officials, liberals, and libertarians have rallied to decriminalize the drug[1]. Members of the Rastafari movement use it as a sacrament.
