Cannabis compounds being patented.

[HeartCore]

While the the American Medical Association claims pot has no medical value, Big Pharma is busy getting patents for marijuana products.

Here's some news from cannabis land. Very interesting article on Alternet which you can find here:

A snippet:

"Not all of these medicines will be synthetic pills either. Most notably, GW Pharmaceuticals oral marijuana spray, Sativex, is a patented standardized dose of natural cannabis extracts. "

I thought you can't get a patent for substances that occur in nature?
Oh well, the sooner they get a patent, the sooner the medicine will be generic...
