24 states and Washington, D.C., have fully legalized marijuana. Another 13 states have legalized medicinal use. Marijuana is still illegal at the federal level.
Senate Democrats introduced a bill that would not only legalize marijuana at the federal level, but expunge the records of Americans with non-violent offenses. That proposal has not gained much traction. However, there is a broader coalition that’s willing to allow marijuana dispensaries to access the federal banking system, which they can’t do currently because it’s illegal.

Schedule III drugs are those with a moderate to low potential for physical and psychological dependence, including ketamine, anabolic steroids and testosterone.
