Because the "what is patented" part of a patent is not in the abstract and background description of a patent. But it makes a great silly OP.

The "thing" that is covers by the patent is this:

1. A method of treating diseases caused by oxidative stress, comprising administering a therapeutically effective amount of a cannabinoid that has substantially no binding to the NMDA receptor to a subject who has a disease caused by oxidative stress.
