Others are answering about some of the science.

I want to point out that marijuana was a schedule I controlled substance in the United States for many decades, with no accepted medical use. During that time, it was exceedingly difficult to do research with cannabis, and licenses were very strictly controlled by the DEA. As a result, a lot of the research we want to have has simply not been there.

The situation is starting to turn around now, but it takes a long time to turn the ship around.
