I bet they do, but once it is legal, they will have nothing. I see it being legal soon.

You think they'll let that happen?

Bless your heart.

CBD remains a Schedule 1 drug according to the federal government, which means it has no recognized medical use

Unfricking believable. A lot of people should be really ashamed by this.

Sounds like that's about to change, no?

frick the DEA, FDA, and big Pharma

Good luck keeping insurance/affording insurance if the insurance company is shelling out $30+k a year.

bro the insurance companies are in cahoots with big pharma. I mean true insurance is paying a co pay for a 50 dallr charge.

The best way to ruin weed?

Commercialize and market it!

Forgot: Turn it into medicine so the kids all say, "I don't want any of grandma's medicine."

Making it into medicine makes it uncool, something for the old folks. Young people want stuff that's edgy and cool, that forbidden fruit.


I never bought GW Pharma stock, and I first learned about the company when it was like $2.75/share. I also don't like the Mechoulamb's mentality of keeping cannabis under direct medical control only, i.e., prescription only otherwise criminal to posses and use. It's a natural plant that grows anywhere and everywhere for Pete's sake. And like I mentioned in other thread, the natural plant contains over 60 unique cannabinoids all working in harmony (synergy). So even if some stoner strain is recreational mainly it has potential for medical benefit to users too (especially since cannabinoids are stored in adiopose tissues so if the receptors are full NOW with THC, in a few hours perhaps the lesser cannabinoids can get to an open receptor).
