Why isn't the U.S. participating in cannabis research?

I find it maddening that the United States govt refuses to allow people to conduct important research like this because of personal agendas and racist-based laws from long ago.

The UK has also done cutting-edge research on cannabinoids inhibiting growth of MRSA bacteria.  I personally know someone who almost died from MRSA bacteria getting loose in his system and want to see more research allowed and funded.

Maybe what it will take is people filing lawsuits against governmental bodies such as the U.S.-based DEA based on wrongful deaths to allow more people to conduct this sort of research without fear of being imprisoned.
