Clarify the complex and conflicting federal and state legal landscape governing the cultivation, manufacturing, distribution, and clinical use of cannabis and cannabidiol in the United States.
Reviewed federal statutes, Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulations, and state-level legislative policies current as of August 2016.
Analyzed jurisdictional variations in access policies for medical cannabis, artisanal low-THC extracts, and high-CBD formulations.
Found that 50% of U.S. states permitted medical cannabis, with seventeen additional states specifically permitting low-THC, high-CBD products.
Identified that zero artisanal cannabis or CBD formulations sold in state-regulated dispensaries or online had received FDA approval.
Documented substantial regulatory friction and legal exposure for healthcare providers, clinical researchers, and patients navigating federal-state legal discrepancies.
