Reason Why Federal Government doesn't support California Marijuana Law.

The federal government regulates drugs through the Controlled Substances Act (CSA), which does not recognize the difference between medical and recreational use of marijuana.Under federal law, marijuana is treated like every other controlled substance, such as cocaine and heroin.Under the CSA, marijuana is classified as a Schedule I drug, which means that the federal government views marijuana as highly addictive and having no medical value.
