Go ahead... tell me how you hate the haters... I like to read about cannabis science and regularly search through the publications using Google Scholar. Today, I again was sifting through the pubs when I see these clowns got a patent: All my life I have been a cannabis activist and have worked with people who give from themselves to help others. I'm not a saint, but when I see these douchebags who prey on any opportunity to make money, careless of the sick, dying, poor, and damaged people... these guys make me sick. Infuriating! Cannabis does not belong to corporations, individuals, governments, or organizations; it belongs to the people. I'm going to sue these guys. I'm p'd off! Go ahead... vent with me !
They don't patent cannabis or THC, they patent their method for extraction. You can still use their method even if it is patented but only for your own use. I guess I don't understand why this bothers you.
Because those methods have been around for years and these guys are simple patent scammers. Are you familiar with patent scammers? Did you look up the patent? How to extract cannabis using natural oil... iow, anyone setting up shop creating edibles has the potential to get sued from these guys. There's a few documentaries on patent scammers on the net. Check em out Beyond that... its a vent thread!
I've never known anyone who extracts with that method, have you? Grinding the root ball? Anyway, they are after CBD and I don't care about extracting CBD so you may have a point.
