Are doctors unable to prescribe THC like they’re able to prescribe opioids?

  Federal rescheduling will be done faster than the Kansas legislature will ever move to being progressive on this issue.

  Schedule I Schedule I drugs, substances, or chemicals are defined as drugs with no currently accepted medical use and a high potential for abuse. Some examples of Schedule I drugs are: heroin, lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD), marijuana (cannabis), 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (ecstasy), methaqualone, and peyote. https://www.dea.gov/drug-information/drug-scheduling https://www.dea.gov/drug-information/drug-scheduling

  Synethetic, prescription D9-THC is available: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dronabinol https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dronabinol However, it does seem to be subject to Schedule III restrictions. Additionally, many of the medically-beneficial compounds in cannabis are non-psychoactive, unlike THC, and aren't subject to the same restrictions.
