Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
Although marijuana is not considered to be physically addictive and no withdrawal criteria have been established, it may lead to psychological dependence, thereby retarding personality growth and adjustment to adulthood.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B
Schedule I drugs are those which have a high potential for abuse and which have no accepted medical use, such as LSD. Oxycodone is a Schedule II drug, while steroids are Schedule III drugs and lorazepam (Ativan) is a Schedule IV drug.
