Do as I say. Not as I do. Hypocrisy is one thing our politicians are not in short supply of but, common sense is in very very short supply.

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

 

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. Nonpsychoactive cannabinoids, such

as cannabidoil, are particularly advantageous to use because they avoid

toxicity that is encountered with psychoactive cannabinoids at high doses

useful in the method of the present invention. A particular disclosed

class of cannabinoids useful as neuroprotective antioxidants is formula

(I) wherein the R group is independently selected from the group

consisting of H, CH3, and COCH3.

As far as I know, no one can patent a plant, big pharma's been trying for years. If someone did, we're screwed, it may look good for us now, but wait. Sorry to be so gloomy.

In the early 90's there was a patent applied for a product that would eat oil, the product itself was living, and prior to that, you could not patent life. This case made it all the way to the Supreme Court, the right to patent life, well it won. The product never saw the light of day, but it opened up the floodgates for patents of life. Seed companies like Monsanto, which now is calling itself a “Life Sciences” company, have been filing patents for “live human-made microorganisms” since.

 

 

Yup. Screwed.
