Well, Congress has placed Marijuana in Schedule I of the Controlled Substances Act. Which means there is no legitimate medical use accepted by the US Government. And that is not likely to change anytime soon. There are 5 Schedules in the CSA. Schedules II-V have accepted medical use with chance of addiction and abuse going down from Schedule II to Schedule V. Cocaine is a Schedule II substance, as it it used by eye surgeons to constrict the capillaries so less blood.
