Four states -- Alaska, Iowa, Montana, and Tennessee -- and the District of Columbia currently have marijuana placed in a schedule that recognizes its therapeutic use. However, there is little or no practical significance to rescheduling marijuana on the state level, because the federal schedules supersede state schedules and the federal government does not permit marijuana prescriptions. Similar to "pseudo-prescriptive access," it is unclear whether courts would interpret these laws as permitting a "medical necessity" defense. Non-Binding Resolutions. At least six state legislatures -- California, Michigan, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Mexico, and Washington -- have passed non-binding resolutions urging the federal government to allow doctors to prescribe marijuana. Non-binding resolutions are passed by both houses of a state's legislature and do not require the governor's signature.
