US Government Patents Medical Pot

ok, this is current events per se. i'm sure some of you have seen this, but i figured it was interesting and it derails the governments argument that cannabis is "bad" and shows the boundlessness of their hypocrisy! (we all knew that existed though!

US Patent 6630507 - Cannabinoids as antioxidants and neuroprotectants

Application: filed on 2/02/2001

US Patent Issued on October 7, 2003

Assignee: The United States of America, as represented by the Department of Health and Human Services

And there you have it. The same federal government that steadfastly denies pot has any medicinal value also holds the medical patents on the plantâ??s various therapeutic cannabinoids. And they arenâ??t the only ones who do.

disgusting. talk about two-faced

one day theyll tell you how devastating marijuana is to entire communities, the next they are raking in the $$$$

So doesnt that blow the schedule 1 drug description right out of the water?

If the US Government can obtain a patent for the purpose of profiting from the medicinal values of MJ, then how can they say it does not have any medicinal value?

This should be enough evidence for any Lawyer to clear a MMJ patient/client?
