		<description>After a little more reflection on this subject...

How many of you just realized that what this actually means is that, since 1999, the government has known that cannabis DOES have medical uses, and has COMITTED PERJERY IN EVERY PROSECUTION SINCE THAT TIME, by virtue of seying something which they know now to be true?

Remember, folks...they say one thing in court &quot;Cannabis has no accepted medical use, therefore, it must remain a schedule 1 dangerous drug&quot; and they say completely the opposite in their DIRECTLY CONTRADICTORY MEDICAL PATENT FILING!

The government, it seems, is above the law in that it can file patents for natural compounds, and it can say one thing in one instance and something completely different in another, yet not suffer contempt of court for PERJURY!

If I&#039;m not mistaken, it is also against the law to patent ANY NATURAL COMPOUND, since those compounds were not designed by man, and simply can not be patented!!!  (Patent attorneys should look into this line of reasoning to be certain...AND QUICKLY!)

The cannabis facts are out there, and stretch far beyond the mere plant which many have concentrated on.  This issue reaches into basic human rights, politics, finance, economics, and far, far more and interrelated issues!

The ONLY thing that can be done which could be considered as justice for the men and women of this planet is not &quot;decriminalization&quot; as that would simply keep cannabis illegal, but allow you the &quot;priviledge&quot; of consuming a natural plant--until and unless such &quot;priviledges are later removed again by your masters&quot; without your consent.  Again.

Re-Legalization is also not a good idea, since it would still leave precedents on the books for future recriminalization.

Full and complete LEGALIZATION of cannabis can only be accomplished by completely removing all laws which (are believed to) affect individual men and women.

I have only recently become aware of how tremendously huge this issues really is, and how many facets of the world we live in will be affected once people start to wake up to the true facts surrounding this entire criminal fraud which created the global &quot;drug wars.&quot;</description>

		<description>Has anyone considered the fact that it is illegal to patent a natural plant?  As far as I know--and I may be wrong here--this would also mean that patenting &quot;a part of a plant&quot; is also illegal?</description>

		<description>I&#039;ve only been studying this issue for about 4 months now and am ASTOUNDED at the hypocrisy of our federal government. They already know the medical benefits and yet battle to keep the draconian laws intact. It is so much about money and power. With 1 in 32 Americans incarcerated and 1 million people a year arrested for possession of a plant(s), we have become the most blatantly hypocritical nation on earth.
There is currently a petition on change.org, the Obama website. I signed it and encourage everyone to sign it as well. Here is the link.

May the good lord above smile upon our efforts.</description>

&quot;THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) is another of the cannabinoids that has been shown to be neuroprotective in cell cultures, but this protection was believed to be mediated by interaction at the cannabinoid receptor, and so would be accompanied by undesired psychotropic side effects.&quot;

		<description>This is my feeling on this patent.
The goverment has created a monopoly on the medicinal value of cannabis while implementing the dynamics of doublespeak and the tactics of a police state to maintain the grip and monopolize the legality and illegality of either constraints.
The goverment is simutaneously holding two contradictory themes and beleiving &amp; profiting from them both.(classic double speak)
The system will create as many income streams in which expansion of the goverment bureaucracy is created from both ends of the spectrum.
Everytime someone is arrested for cultivation,distributing,&amp; poessesion it justifies the criminal actions of the goverment to protect thier patent by either criminal prosecution or civil actions when in fact to make something criminal that is not a crime in the first place is the real criminal act. 
A true dichotomy of hypocrisy.</description>
