Tending ‘the Grow’

Excellent article, Michael Polson.  I hope you have had a chance to check out my dissertation at http://hempdoc.com.

Just a correction/clarification: “While the U.S. government still retains the cannabis patent,”

Not exactly correct.  The US Government basically enforces a monopoly ownership-ban on the cannabis plant.  It or its designates are to be the only legitimate owners of this 37 million year old species, it claims in its law.  There is a a patent that the US government (via the DHHS) hold on the application of cannabinoids as neuroprotectants.  This was filed by an NIH scientist by the name of Hampson (et al.).  This is an application patent, but certainly natural cannabis is where the most robust supply of cannabinoids would have to come from for such an application.

I enjoyed this article very much. I am new to your site and found it refreshing to find an article about that has the correct information.  This is not something you would find in what has been the mainstream news, which in a lot of cases where change in happening.  I am a California resident with my Cannabis card and I think truthful information is important to get out to the public I imagine there many people who still live in a time of “refer madness”  and the more information that gets put out there the more people will be informed. 

I am also new to this website and found it so much better than the networks where I have been getting my news.
