but their lackeys keep saying there's no medical benefits, even though they have a patent on the use of the main ingredient (6630507)

Cannabinoids appear to kill tumor cells but do not affect their nontransformed counterparts and may even protect them from cell death. For example, these compounds have been shown to induce apoptosis in glioma cells in culture and induce regression of glioma tumors in mice and rats, while they protect normal glial cells of astroglial and oligodendroglial lineages from apoptosis mediated by the CB1 receptor... http://www.cancer.gov/about-cancer/treatment/cam/hp/cannabis-pdq#section/_7

Why is the Gov allowed to lie and say there are no medical benefits? And why don't reporters ask about it?
