KNOW :

Throughout a majority of the 20th century , most institutions shied away from conducting cannabis research . That , however , is changing . by Chris Bond

At one time , the institutional research of cannabis was commonplace . Its benefits , especially as a cash crop , were well-understood and endorsed by local governments and state university systems throughout the United States . This era , of course , ended abruptly when the federal government began its war on cannabis . Only at the dawning of the 21st century did we begin to see a return to an academic , presumably unbiased approach to the research of the medicinal and numerous other benefits of cannabis . Higher educational institutions in the US typically shied away from cannabis research , and for good reason . Since nearly every educational institution receives federal dollars on some level and cannabis is still considered a Schedule 1 drug at the federal level , most colleges and universities did not want to risk losing any portion of that important funding . There are , however , a few institutions that have taken the lead with MMJ research , especially as more and more states ease restrictions on its use .
