research the state of the law on controlled substances in the United States.

1) Identify the legislative act or section of the United States Code that establishes the current categorization of drugs. Explain the criteria used for classifying drugs into each category.

2) Identify where the current official controlled substances classifications can be found. Is cannabis or marijuana included in the classification scheme? If so, where? What are the legal effects of that classification? Who may distribute or manufacture those drugs?

3) Are there any attempts to change the classification of cannabis/marijuana from its current schedule? How would that process work?
