The skinny on the Fatty.

The
govt says that marijuana (cannabis) has no medicinal value yet they
hold a patent! US Patent 6630507 titled "Cannabinoids as antioxidants
and neuroprotectants" which is assigned to The United States of
America, as represented by the Department of Health and Human Services.

WHY DOES THE MEDIA IGNORE THIS?

BECAUSE THEY ARE TOLD TO.

REMEMBER THIS THE NEXT TIME AN OFFICIAL TELLS YOU THAT WEED HASN'T BEEN STUDIED ENOUGH!

The
patent claims that "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."
The patent was obtained in October of 2003.

Cannabinoids,
for those who were wondering, are a group of chemical compounds found
in marijuana that are also referred to as terpenophenolic compounds.
One specific cannabinoid compound found in cannabis is
tetrahydrocannabinol, more commonly known as THC. This substance gives
marijuana its psychoactive effects.
