This is why "Big Pharma" continues to lobby against legalization.... because marijuana is a "naturally occuring plant", which means that they can't patent it and make billions of dollars in profits from it, because people could grow their own medicine in their homes or yards.
We had a lot of problems with the DEA when we first began importing pure, unrefined Shea Butter in from Ghana, Africa. Sorry I don't have links to any Government studies on it, but I have seen the results with my own eyes, and heard from repeat customers for over 3 years while I was selling it. I know some people will call it "Woo", or 'anecdotal', but I believe in what I can physically see, what I have experienced myself while using it, and seeing/hearing the results of repreat customers, some of which drove over 300 miles round trip just to buy more before I started offering it online to them...
Peace,
