Cannabinoids as antioxidants and neuroprotectants

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.

Our patent is very narrow and specific, you could patent other properties of cannabis.

are you a patent holder? or do you work for the dept of health?
that might be very true, but as you must be aware of working with substances with a schedule 1, are extreamly difficult, and rare-although seem to be opening a bit. but also i understand they are stepping up the battle on CBC oil ( i live outside the US, so my news can be dated)
but the point is not other can patent it, the point is the gov puts people in jail for it, steal their property-a friend of mine had his house, clothes, cd's, car everything taken. they say it its highly addictive, and has no medical uses, while allowing a patent, that shows it does have benifits, despite many studies claiming there are benifits. basicly prooving they have scheduled it for facts, that are not fact, and in fact were never really looking into anyway

I am an American and the patent is held by America thus the word "our". It's too late to battle against CBD oil, it's legal in 50 states, they were selling it at Walmart.
I have read the government patent, it is very narrow. Just one property of one cannabinoid is patented. At the current time in the US it is tricky to get permission for cannabis research but that is not necessarily the case in every country.
Indeed it is hypocritical for the government to hold a patent on one of its beneficial properties and at the same time to declare that it has no beneficial properties.
Luckily President Trump has said he will sign the pending bill to legalize cannabis on the federal level if it passes. It is bipartisan so really the biggest hurdle will be the fact that the drug companies will do everything they can to stop it and they are incredibly powerful.

ok i get the logic, but i guarentee you if/when it is marketed-it will have a no bid contract to manufacture-probably by halloburton-or whatever they are called now, they will reap huge profits, charging an outragous price for it, and taxpayer/country will be lucky if the cost of the patent is covered-kinda like nasa keeps giving away patents for free,they seem to assume they belong to them, and politicitans just keep doing what they are told.

Gosh, that's terrible, now we can all enjoy Velcro. So your fear is that they will give it away or that they will sell it. Anyhow, their patent does not stop anyone from producing cannabis or using it for any number of purposes. The great thing about cannabis, and also why it is banned, is that it is pointless to try to patent it, even if you could, people can just grow their own. It's not a very good product from that standpoint. They like drugs that they can charge thousands of dollars a month for, not something someone could grow at home.

the patents dont belong to NASA, we paid for them, and we should have a department that actually works in the interest of the public, license velcro out, who know, possibly for much less than it cost now, will all proceeds going to schools, velcrow shoes for handicap kids, whatever. instead its possibly going to a foriegn company, or a mega cororation, that

  1. dont need it
    and/or
  2. have such great resourources to begin with they can hire team of accountants to find loopholes.
    Apple Computer is a perfect example, worlds largest company, based in the USA, hasnt paid $1 of income taxes, legally.
    im not anti buisness, im anti getting constantly screwed!
    and actually with their patent-i dont have it in front of me, they only refence 1 element, most pharmacuticals have a natural begining, morphine, cocaine, etc, but they need to filter out the other stuff, so they can be sure of the cause/reaction relationship with the substance. but also some of the other stuff could be couterproductice in some way or another. so just like you can grow a coco plant, and chew the leaves-the effects are very diffrent-so ive heard.
    our natitional debit is rising so fast, allready (in october 2017), every man woman and child in the US owes $61,539.+interest, we are getting to the point where if we tax 100% of the people 100% taxes, we wont be able to make the interest payments. when that happens, all you savings will be worthless, , and the banks, and the PRIVATE federal reserve, being aware of this, and ready for it, will run around buying up everything at pennies on the dollar, like they have done before.
    Thomas Jefferson said
    "If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the people of all property until their children wake up homeless on the continent their Fathers conquered.... I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies.... The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs."
    well we did, and they do, and we are almost there. obviously this is not related to patent proceeds, but those are just another way we are getting screwed at every turn, personally im sick of it.

Actually home ownership rates in America are pretty high, some economists are saying that in some ways the home ownership rate is too high, right now inventories in many places are very low.

and by they way, when i hear home ownership, i think they have a mortgage, meaning its still owned by the bank, times can change.

that maybe 100% true, but its also 100% true that they plan to crash our ecomony, and canada, and mexico-both are inmuch worse shape, so they can come to the rescue with the Amero, they already have the bills, and coins designed, they are really ugly-the name sucks too!
but we will then become the north american union, like europe, with a leader no one know, or voted for.
the real problem is the illegal private federal reserve, they pay 6% dividends per year to stockholders, and when they print $1, they charge us to do that, say $1.10, so by design, its impossible to pay off the debit. its designed to fail. the constitution gives congress the power to print money, instead they gave it to private banks, who took us off the gold standard, confiscated gold in the 40's. by raising and lowering interest rates they control the expansion and contraction of the economy, the preisident only gets to pich the fed chairman, our of a group selected by the banks, no one in goverment has the power to override the decisions of the fed, or even audit them. they admitied they loaned millions of in 2008 i think, and refused to say to whom. the county has been hijacked. in fact the rockerfellers, and the rothschilds own the majority of the Fed, but also strangly enough every war we get in is with a country who doesnt have a private central bank, there are only 4 countries left in the world without one, Iran, Cuba, N Korea, and Syria-kinda suspicious dont you think?
