Marijuana is listed as a Schedule 1 drug even though it isn't as harmful as Schedule 2 drug's like heroine or cocaine because it launders millions of dollars out of the United States. Marijuana was also made illegal because African-American's used marijuana and they wanted to ban something so it looked like they were doing some work (believe it or not, this actually worked somehow). This doesn't mean that it's alright because has a lot of side effects like a decreased attention span or even psychosis.
