      <![CDATA[just started using a CBD tincture 3:2 cbd:THC and it works amazinggggggggg on anxiety and SAD and an overactive mind. 1 squirt which cost about 50 cents works for 8 hours totally worth finding at your local dispensary or if you live in California you can have them mail it to you

      <![CDATA[In case you didn't read the actual patent you are referencing, Saavy, it does not patent cannabis, but patents research towards a specific delivery system of isolated cannabinoid molecules (and the patent has since expired). And while I do find it wholly disingenuous of the Fed Govt to classify cannabis as a Schedule I drug while behind the curtain it (in conjunction with pharmaceutical companies) funds research into cannabis' medical properties , this is not news.

      <![CDATA[Hello Hapless Farmer,<br>
<br>
The general characteristics of Sativas and Indicas you referenced are indicative of the complexity of plant profiles with their varying amounts not only of THC and CBD but also of individual terpenes and flavonoids. To correct a long-held assumption, high CBD cannabis does not make one lethargic, nor does it cause red eyes and a stoned effect.

      <![CDATA[I very much appreciated the article and view the conspiracy theory advanced by Anon-E as being a reminder that rigidity of perspective is an affliction that affects <br>
not only right wing bigots. <br>
<br>
Certainly to tease out any facts on a subject that has until recently been so taboo in the  legal/academic institutions of the US is a credit to the author.

      <![CDATA[Given that this article explores marijuana’s history and culture, criticizes the federal government’s policy against cannabis and speaks avidly about the use of WHOLE PLANT CBD-RICH CANNABIS as opposed to isolated cannabinoids, I am confused how it could be misinterpreted as favorable to Big Pharma. But to get down to what really is bothering Anon-E, it appears he/she is unhappy about the way I portrayed the majority of dispensaries in the North Bay.
