As we approach 4/20 or the annual day we discuss and some celebrate marijuana, it is important to separate fact from fiction when discussing marijuana. While marijuana remains a Schedule 1 drug of the Controlled Substances Act, along with Heroin and LSD, there is plenty of science out there that has demonstrated the actual health benefits of Marijuana, THC, and Cannabinoids.
