Feds To Grant Exclusive Cannabinoid License To Pharma Firm

Too Sickening for Words

[h2]Feds To Grant Exclusive Cannabinoid License To Pharma Firm[/h2]


The U.S. federal government's Department of Health and Human Services seems about ready to award exclusive rights to apply marijuana as a medical therapeutic. You read that correctly: "exclusive rights."


Now, I don't think of myself as a conspiracy theorist. But when the federal government keeps taking actions that, even when considered separately but especially when viewed together, all seem to be part of a bigger plan to pave the way for the pharmaceutical industry to bulldoze the cottage medical marijuana industry, I start getting antsy.

Do you have corroborating evidence from a source other than a website named "Toke of the Town"?

The OP is very vague, and I can't find anything to support its claims.

Let's start a club. we could call it the 420 club. Membership based on showing up. A sharing of ancient herbal wisdom. Complaining about the injustice of it all. Whatever.
