Cannabis Benefits in Trump Era
It is quite tragic that even though many states have legalized weed, the feds still have it listed on their Schedule 1 as a dangerous drug. However, if you were to compare cannabis with hard drugs like OxyContin and Xanax, the comparison is not stacked up in favor of hard drugs. Cannabis will win every time.
