The govt says that marijuana (cannabis) has no medicinal value yet they hold a patent! US Patent 6630507 titled "Cannabinoids as antioxidants and neuroprotectants" which is assigned to The United States of America, as represented by the Department of Health and Human Services.

WHY DOES THE MEDIA IGNORE THIS?

BECAUSE THEY ARE TOLD TO.

REMEMBER THIS THE NEXT TIME AN OFFICIAL TELLS YOU THAT WEED HASN'T BEEN STUDIED ENOUGH!

The patent claims that "Cannabinoids have been found to have antioxidant properties, unrelated to NMDA receptor antagonism. This new found property makes cannabinoids useful in the treatment and prophylaxis of wide variety of oxidation associated diseases, such as ischemic, age-related, inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. The cannabinoids are found to have particular application as neuroprotectants, for example in limiting neurological damage following ischemic insults, such as stroke and trauma, or in the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease and HIV dementia."
The patent was obtained in October of 2003.

Cannabinoids, for those who were wondering, are a group of chemical compounds found in marijuana that are also referred to as terpenophenolic compounds. One specific cannabinoid compound found in cannabis is tetrahydrocannabinol, more commonly known as THC. This substance gives marijuana its psychoactive effects.

i cant see how people cant see.

Prohibition as mentioned in the video simply does not work. It may be a better strategy to outline what are our goals?

Is it to reduce drug use? Eradicate drug use? Do we need to rehabilitate the user or simply marginalize them out of society? Reduce crime associated with drugs? Reduce or eliminate violence associated with drugs? Reduce the health care dollars associated with drugs and their complications?

The answer is not Prohibition. It is a proven failed policy.

Think Harm Reduction.
