Marijuana (Cannabis) is a Schedule I drug. Schedule I drugs have no current accepted medical use and includes most natural opiates or derivatives such as heroin (note: a limited variety of opiate compounds such as codeine, opium, methadone, Dilaudid, morphine do have accepted medical use and are scheduled differently), synthetic and organic hallucinogens and cannabinoids. However, the federal schedule of drug classifications may be changing since several states have passed laws allow "medical marijuana" (cannabinoids are effective in treating side effects of certain cancer treatments and have limited medical uses but not without side effects). At the present time, as far as scheduling is concerned, it's still illegal and with medical benefit. Cannabis is also classified, as a drug, by itself. ALthough it share properties with other classes of drugs (it's a mild stimulant initially but generally has depressant effects and in high doses may produce hallucinations), it is not classified as a stimulant, nor as a depressant nor as a hallucinogen. It is classified as "Cannabis"
