Identify the question's core subject

The question asks which of the listed substances has been legalized in some states for medical use with a prescription.

Evaluate the options based on legal status

• Heroin and ecstasy are classified as Schedule I controlled substances in the United States, meaning they have no currently accepted medical use and cannot be prescribed.
• Cocaine is a Schedule II substance with very limited, highly restricted clinical use (such as a local anesthetic in specific surgeries), but it is not legalized at the state level for general medical prescription use by patients.
• Marijuana has been legalized in numerous U.S. states for medical purposes, allowing patients with qualifying conditions to obtain it with a doctor's recommendation or prescription.

Determine the correct choice

Marijuana is the drug that fits the description of being legalized in some states for medical purposes.
