"They believe the discovery could pave the way for cannabis-based medication to become available by prescription within two years."

Not, I fear, in the US, where Federal law reads in part "there is no medical" use for any form of cannabis and that law is being used to threaten/prosecute doctors and patients and even state governments.

"The medical community wants efficacy without this ['high'] effect."

So do a lot of patients. They would like to feel safer driving and doing other things.
