Because there is no scientific basis for the research. I mean shit, I could go eat grass and call it a cure for disease X, state it has vast immunologic benefits, etc. etc., but that doesn't mean it will receive funding from the NIH for research and a clinical trial.
If cannabis activated the hypothetical "receptor THC" which has been implicated in specific immunologic functions, I am almost certain someone would write a research proposal and garner a grant from the NIH to put it to the test.
