Well yeah. So long as the federal government keeps classifying cannabis as a tier 1 controlled substance (cocaine is tier 2), no research money will flow to academics to do the relevant research.
In the meantime, we will continue seeing claims like RSO curing all cancers and other diseases (http://www.trueactivist.com/this-is-the-cannabis-oil-recipe-...). Being able to research effects of cannabis is reason number umpteen to decriminalize/legalize it at the federal level.
The main component of RSO actually has been studied and proven to kill cancer. You need RSO with very high THC concentration.

What kind of cancer? That’s like saying “RSO cures illness”. Fire cures cancer too I’d you apply it directly to just the cancer cells, but we can agree that setting a can we patient on fire isn’t exactly a worthwhile therapy. Also any actual sources aside from KillYourCancer.org? I am not saying RSO doesn’t work. Just that it has not been proven or disproven by anyone reputable.
Kinda difficult to prove and research when the criminal governments of the world make and keep a plant illegal. Yet there are some facts as shown in the above linked video mentioning research at universities in Spain and Israel showing THC kills cancer cells. Evidence of people using it and curing various forms of cancer (brain tumors, lung tumors, etc) are also everywhere on the Internet.
Flat earthers are everywhere on the Internet too. Does that mean the earth is flat?
Loads of things kill cancer cells if you expose cancer cells directly to them. Fire, alcohol, radiation, etc. The trick is to expose just the cancer cells to them. I agree that a lot more research could be done, but at this point we know that RSO is about as effective as ethanol at killing cancer.
As for the rest of your comment, I don’t know if you will find this place particularly friendly towards the rhetoric that there is some illegal world government controlling everything. Try /r/conspiracy.
I actually have RSO in my fridge this very moment. The guy who made it told me about a little girl he was helping out right now who developed a brain tumor causing her to go blind. He advised her mom to try RSO but she refused initially. After things got worse and she basically had nothing to lose, she decided to give it a shot. After two weeks of small daily dosis, she called my friend at 4am in the morning telling him her daughter stood up by herself to go to the bathroom. She was able to start seeing again. Try that with ethanol.
I am not saying it doesn’t work. I am saying it isn’t studied by anyone that anyone should trust. How do you actually know that girl’s change in vision was actually the result of RSO and not some other factor?
Well I guess it's up to each individual who or what they trust. Personally I trust the researchers mentioned in the video combined with the evidence of people using it and actually getting cured. Not just from stories on the Internet but also from closer at home. I'm also for complete legalization so that research can be done freely so we can get even more confirmation. The fact that it is still illegal is a serious crime against humanity. So much suffering could be prevented and lives saved by something growing freely in nature.
In the meantime, we will continue seeing claims like RSO curing all cancers and other diseases (http://www.trueactivist.com/this-is-the-cannabis-oil-recipe-...). Being able to research effects of cannabis is reason number umpteen to decriminalize/legalize it at the federal level.
