Are you aware that the Feds hold a patent on the use of cannabinoids?
US Patent #6630507

Kannalife has been granted a piece of this patent as detailed here: Cannabinoid Patent Exclusivity Only Applies To One Condition http://www.tokeofthetown.com/2011/12/cannabinoid_patent_exclusivity_only_applies_to_one.php

There are over 20 patents related to Cannabis. A site that had a list has been removed, and right now I can't find another, but they do exist and I have a copy (can post if interested). Do you think these patents will prevent regular people from using Cannabinoids for health purposes?

Why isn't the fact that the US Federal Government (DHHS) holds a patent on the use of the main ingredient in "pot"- cannabinoids (US Patent #6630507)- discussed more often by reporters?

If the next time someone like Holder says "there is no medical use for marijuana" they were forced to answer why the Feds hold a patent on the medical use of Marijuana wouldn't that be a powerful discussion?
