Re: "That's a low bar - pharma companies can do all the research they want to and have already done a lot and found it to be lacking." NOT without a LEGAL SUPPLY of the product to be tested in medical testing they CAN'T. Roadblock. The federal bureaucracy (like all bureaucracies by definition) is out to preserve it's own POWER and PERKS. The DEA cares nothing about allowing any medical research that (just might) show some medical benefit. (For that is not what they are formally tasked for. They are tasked for prohibition.) And, although the FDA can approve some researcher's proposed plan for human medical testing... they CANNOT supply the material to be tested (by law only the DEA can) so the DEA can block any research that it wants to in the area of illegal drugs. And it does.
