Medicinal marijuana sale approved by Federal Government

[merl1n]

The American Government DOES have a patent on CBD(Cannabidiol), Patent Number US6630507 B1. By the U.S. Government holding the patent it restricts access to the compound. Specific permission must be obtained from the patent holder to scientifically examine and then publish any finding in regard to the patented compound. So they have the right of say and right of veto. Here's a link to an article that explains it quite well:-

But CBD(Cannabidiol) is only one of the 113 cannabinoids, isolated so far, that are contained in cannabis. The interactions of these 113 compounds both on each other and within the human body have not been fully examined, the patent restricts its use. So they cannot be fully examined.

 

So yes, the U.S. govt do have a patent over CBD, but not the cannabis plant. They can't patent the whole plant, only a specific compound AFAIK.

Great program on JJJ regards Medical Cannabis a few minutes ago...reveals 21 of the 23 authorised Doctors are basically in Sydney or Newcastle, and are pediatric neurologists.

Yet Greg Hunt talks to the mother of a boy with brain tumour gettin stuffed around, making false promises on national radio.

Waffles about less than 100 doctors....quite a bit less...

Sick.

Also, one of the specialists involved in the trials comments that only a few of the 40 odd epileptic kids are getting benefit from the trial product...hmmmm

CBD pure only wasnt it?

 

well one would wonder eh. Seems perhaps a combination of the thc and cbd and all in between are useful for a myriad of illnesses, aches and pains

"...well one would wonder eh. Seems perhaps a combination of the thc and cbd and all in between are useful for a myriad of illnesses, aches and pains..."

 

And this is exactly the problem. Big pharma wants to patent their concoctions. Whole plant therapies cannot be patented because they are natural. So the beneficial interactions between the differing cannabinoids is not explored by big pharma(nor the govt) as this may reduce the use of more profitable medications for the drug companies and their shareholders. I have been doing some research into the use of canna for pain management and it seems that it has been shown that the use of canna in combination with opiates has the effect of reducing the dosages and frequency of the opiates to manage the pain (a fact that I have been saying for years). This goes to prove it's all about the mighty $$$$ and has sweet fuck all to do with patient care and pain management. We can all thank our elected Federal Government for protecting their mates in big business for this.

Welcome to the future, total government control of everything

Remember folks this is what you all want

Personally I don't vote never have, I fucking hate socialism and all the control that goes with it

I think it took California 20 years or so from the mid 90s when they passed their first cannabis laws till now having dispensaries...So it will be a fucking long time before us Aussies have any hope of it becoming anywhere near legal to grow or consume

[smj81]

The best hope we have over the next few years is decriminalisation

[pedro de pacas]

All the stnuc have to do is decimalise it , then you can do what you want without needing the governments permission

Grow up its your life, take charge
