It doesn't make any sense. If I suffered from chronic pain I would want to know the risks and benefits of medical marijuana versus narcotics so I could make an informed decision regarding my treatment options.
The government makes it so difficult for researchers to conduct the studies they claim they need that the researchers don't want to deal with the bureaucracy. I think the majority of doctors believe marijuana has some medical benefits just like any other controlled substance when used in a therapeutic manner. But, I can't think of a single doctor who would say the same about tobacco or alcohol. Whoever is making these decisions is completely ignoring the science that is available.
Additionally, the government sells the marijuana grown at the University of Mississippi to researchers overseas. Then they only report the findings which confirm their conformational bias.
