Since 1996, the legality of cannabis in the United States has changed dramatically. While it remains a Schedule I substance (i.e., no accepted medical use, high risk of abuse) under the Controlled Substances Act, cannabis is now legal in 33 states and Washington DC for medical purposes, as well as in 10 states and Washington DC for recreational use.39 According to estimates from state medical cannabis registry data, there are now >2.1 million legal medical cannabis patients nationwide,40 and we recently reported that 67% of qualifying conditions in medical cannabis state registries are for chronic pain.
