Feds To Grant Exclusive Cannabinoid License To Pharma Firm

[ImTrippingStupid]

The U.S. federal government's Department of Health and Human Services seems about ready to award exclusive rights to apply marijuana as a medical therapeutic. You read that correctly: "exclusive rights."

You may recall that Toke of the Town columnist Ron Marczyk pointed out that the U.S. federal government, a few years back, took out patents on "cannabinoids as antioxidants and neuroprotectants," even while officially denying that cannabis has any medical value.

Well, turns out they weren't just holding onto that patent for the fun of it. The latest piece of the puzzle to fall into place is the announcement last month in the Federal Register.

After years of inaction, it seems they are "contemplating" the grant of an exclusive patent license to practice the invention embodied in its U.S. Patent to a company called KannaLife Sciences, Inc., which has offices in New York.

?"It is a grave injustice that patient association in California are now facing a coordinated and comprehensive attack by the DOJ, while one pharmaceutical company in New York stands to profit tremendously from the monopolization of medical cannabis thanks to the HHS," UMMP posted.

Well europe isn't that tolerant either. Except for some places, like Holland. But even in Holland the times seems slowly to change.... The last 8 years, they keep coming up with new rules and methods to fight against drugs.

But i guess the punishments in europe is less dramatic then in many other country's in the world. Of course it depends on what substances etc, but in most country's in europe you will get a fine for having a couple of grams of marijuana.

Is taking antioxidants bad if someone has cancer and is getting chemo therapy? I know someone who has cancer who asked me if taking antioxidants and is bad if they take chemo therapy as well. anyone know the answer?

Try google, or maybe this article says it all: http://jn.nutrition.org/content/134/11/3201S.full

The importance of the
endogenous cannabinoid system is supported by the finding of
high levels of cannabinoid receptors in brain8; the specific mechanisms
of endocannabinoid synthesis, uptake and degradation2,9;
and the neuromodulatory properties of endogenous
cannabinoids9. Moreover, ongoing research is determining
whether cannabinoid ligands may be effective agents in the
treatment of chronic pain, glaucoma, spasms, and the wasting
and emesis associated with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome
and cancer chemotherapy10,11.
