"One of the most common misconceptions is that marijuana is 'completely safe' simply because it's natural or legal. In reality, research shows it has a mixed risk profile."
"The Justice Department's move does not federally legalize marijuana for medicinal or recreational use. It primarily paves the way for state-licensed businesses to operate and reduces some research restrictions."
The federal government has reclassified marijuana, moving it from a Schedule I drug to Schedule III, indicating a change in its perceived medical value. This reclassification allows state-licensed medical marijuana businesses to deduct standard business expenses and potentially receive retroactive tax refunds. Despite this shift, misconceptions about marijuana's safety persist, with experts warning that it is not completely safe just because it is natural or legal. Many states have already legalized medical and recreational cannabis, reflecting changing attitudes toward marijuana use.
