Description
Parents should remember that marijuana remains a Schedule I drug. It has not been approved as safe and efficacious by the Food and Drug Administration at any level for adolescents. The use of marijuana by patients holds inherent risk. As a physician, I do not support recommending the medicinal use of marijuana.
