In biblical times Cannabis was used 12 ways: clothing, paper, cord, sails, fishnet, oil, sealant, incense, food, and in ceremony, relaxation and medicine. For so the Lord said unto me, “I will take my rest and I will consider in my dwelling place like a clear heat upon herbs. For afore harvest, when the bud is perfect and the sour grape is ripening in the flower, he shall cut off the sprigs with pruning hooks and take away and cut down the branches.” (Isaiah 18:4-5)

The seed bearing plants belong to the people(humanity),let Cesar(the government) have the rest.Humanity must retain the rights to their natural resources or they are doomed and can not render currency.If natural resources are controlled by governments as well as their use,then we are forced into to using monopolies for survival eventually these monopolies will (because of our dependents on them)take over our public assets including our natural sustainability rights.Humanity should always reserve the rights to natural plants,air,water,fire etc.for the benifit of basic survival.
With out their natural sustainability rights in tact, humanity will have given all the money they made to just a few people ,the masses would struggle ,and the few with the money would eventually struggle as well because it too had a dependents on the income of the masses.This is about what has happened by making a natural plant illegal.Monopolies convinced the government to do away with public competition.Ironically if the public can not make money then the monopolies can not make any either.Americans should be running their own public utilities with hemp,not trying to come up with enough robbed cash to pay off the oil monopolies and instead of trying to control public health care cost we should be looking for viable answers for curing (not just treating)disease.humanity should retain the legal use and rights of natural non toxic plants for their own survival.

Well I think it confusing that a government would want to hold a patent on a cancer eliminator and for what reason do they forbid us this wonder cure plant?to keep people from using it freely,to cure their cancer?Perhaps medical patients will have to claim they are using it because it gets them high and not because it cures their cancer or eases their pain?I say we keep any one from having a patent on a natural plant or any use of it..other wise people will patent all the oak trees and all the grass and all the sea weed …and all the stuff thats in them then all the uses of it too.OMG and to think I just made a tire swing using a rope and a(flat tire with a use patent on it) Did I break a law?Isn’t life like a tire swing or is this only in children’s books and fairy tails?

OK,well then,does this mean I can go out and patent minerals in sea weed just because they are supposed to be good for the skin?I thought seed bearing naturally occurring plants were not to be patented ..IF this was the case how come every plant on the planet isn’t patented ?

Pertaining to the comments that you “cannot patent a plant”
NOT TRUE
Plants can be patented! I know. I sell patented plants and have a plant patent pending.
What all this means is that until the year 2020, the Government has the exclusive right including licensing and franchising discretion as to the “labeled use” of cannabinoids for the patent award. This patent pertains to the chemical compound and its use not the plant species itself. The ramification of this is that since the FDA would regulate labeling for any use of the cannabinoid compound, you can bet they will not allow any labeled use other than that which the government has awarded itself. Because Cannabis Sativa is a common plant that by default cannot be attributed to any one person having discovered or bred, the Government cannot patent the plant. If someone were to breed a Cannabis Sativa variety that was genetically distinguishable enough under patent law criteria then, that plant could be patented but, you could not sell it for the purpose listed on the patent that the Government has granted itself. That is why they did things that way. They will, until 2020, ultimately retain control over the sales over it, decide who they license it to and collect a licensing fee (not a tax, that is different).
Is Big Pharm behind this? Does the Holy C defecate in an arborial setting?

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 “Cannabis has no accepted medical use, therefore, it must remain a schedule 1 dangerous drug” 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’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 “decriminalization” as that would simply keep cannabis illegal, but allow you the “priviledge” of consuming a natural plant–until and unless such “priviledges are later removed again by your masters” 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 “drug wars.”

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 “a part of a plant” is also illegal?
