Why Don’t We Have More Research?
• Cannabis is listed as a Schedule 1 drug, making it difficult to conduct
research over certain limits
• By definition, Schedule 1 means that there is no potential for medical benefit and
highly addictive
• When something is listed as Schedule 1 you are limited to the amount of research
that you are able to do on humans
• CBD is not directly scheduled, there is no reference of CBD in the Federal Acts
• Hemp is not a controlled substance
• Only allowed to be grown under research oversight and illegal to commercially
grow and extract in US. Very limited.
• Good source material for phyto-cannabinoids is difficult to obtain
• Issues with growing, selling and transporting across state lines
• Can be imported
