(591 posts)28. This is why the Feds took out a patent on the use of cannabinoids
#6630507
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
See. if everyone knew the feds had patents*(thanks to an alert DU'er there are many-haven't had time to read up) on the use of the main ingredient in Cannabis how many convictions would juries return for someone growing a plant?
but most people just can't seem to put it together.

The war on the most useful plant on the planet could be over tomorrow- if the people could just do a little research.

They already have a pill but they don't work, that's why you don't hear much about it.
