> It is hard for researchers to get their hands on real world doses of cannabis for their studies because the drug is still schedule 1.

I hear this trope a lot, but considering the number of states in the US that it’s legalized in, can you clarify why?

For one, it makes it difficult for federally funded entities since the federal government views it as illegal. Also, lots of funding for state entities comes from federal sources. I have also heard of researchers having trouble with institutional review boards that still follow the federal guidelines.
