The patent was actually granted back then. It seems it really did take this long for it to come to light. There's obviously some reason for the delay.

Is it out of fear of being labelled hypocrites for labelling cannabis as a Class I substance with no medicinal value in one breath and praising the therapeutic properties of cannabinoids in the next?

Whatever the reason, it would only be logical for the government to change the classification of cannabis in the Controlled Substances Act. If they don't it will look rather suspicious.
