Because cannabis and cannabinoids are classified as Schedule I drugs, the ability to perform clinical trials with cannabis is considerably hindered. This classification also affects the ability of clinicians to prescribe cannabis and CBPs to their patients. Substances classified as Schedule I under the CSA can be legally possessed and/or dispensed only as part of federally approved research grants or programs. All involved manufacturers and distributors are required to obtain Schedule I drug-specific registration before initiating such research. Moreover, cannabis for research must be obtained through a facility that is contracted with the National Institute on Drug Abuse. Currently, the only facility approved to provide cannabis for research purposes is the University of Mississippi.

Various state laws have permitted the distribution of cannabis through dispensaries, which conflicts with the CSA.
