Their holy grail might be OK for medical users... Assuming you can sway the medical community... And it might mean that medical users will pay more for the "patented" cannaboid compounds....
The down side of "Big Pharma" getting their patented synthetic compounds to market is that they will be leaning on the "enforcers" to eliminate the "competition"... Why people might self-medicate!! Or not use doctors!! Horrors!!! And besides, there is no profit in anything that cannot be patented!!!
I'm sure you noted the section about the
body using what it needed from the natural mix of canniboid compounds... I doubt the synthetics can or will contain a mix. Instead you will have a separate (and expensive) prescription for each (patented) canniboid compound... Much better for revenues that way...
In any case, it is interesting to watch the prohibition proponents getting pinned down with evidence. (While I may enjoy it, their minds are made up, and they refuse to be bothered with any "facts")
