    Dear Friends, food for thought
    --so the federal govt of the united states ships 500 cannabis cigarettes to patients monthly.  The number is now only 4 compared to 22 patients in the past years.  So the federal govt is shipping an "illicit drug with no medicinal potential" to patients. ...
    1. that is about 10-50 joints a day......holy shit
    2. its illegal, why is the govt dealing an illegal drug?  One scheduled as more dangerous than heroin and lsd..
    3.  US has a Medical Patent on the anti-inflammatory and nueralprotective benefit of cannabis.................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
    there is something not right here.  Thoughts??

    The program is called the Compassionate Investigational New Drug (IND) Program and it accepted potential patients from 1976 to 1992. The program will continue to provide marijuana for these patients until all of the patients are no longer living, at which point the program will cease. It's unfortunate that it will be discontinued when it should be expanded, but you'd be wrong to call it hypocritical of the feds to make such a program considering the FDA, NIDA, and DEA were forced to create this program as part of the civil settlement in Randall v. United States. The aforementioned agencies were actually defending the incarceration of these patients.
     
    And a patent simply means that no one else can create or distribute your patented thing or process without your permission - in other words, a legal monopoly. So yes, the federal government has reserved for itself several patents for marijuana's applications, including the patent for glaucoma treatment for the IND program. While interesting, it's not very insightful since most medicines are patented and it makes sense that the government wouldn't grant patents to private parties for things the government considers illegal (even if those things shouldn't be illegal in the first place). It allows them to make brutal civil cases against anyone who produces medicinal marijuana in violation of the patents.

    I suppose I meant to illustrate the hypocrisy.  Medical Patent -- no medical potential...
    Its just a kick in the face when the fight for mmj is just stonewalled, as if the "networks of govt" don't want to admit that they know its a medicine.
    Diffusal of Responsibility  corp and govts are losing their humanity..
