I wont knock their patents or quality of operations, but you hit the nail on the head with the DEA comment in that the bs scheduling is what is giving an overseas company first crack and control of a burgeoning American market. When you say a poor quality product, that is propaganda. Did Rick Simpson become notorious off of a poor quality product? Did Tommy Chong use sativex? Is Michael j Fox getting prescribed sativex? The countless youtube videos of people smoking joints to stop seizures? All this corporate-political back scratching is unnecessary and a doctors prescription will only hinder access to what already works but can be still analyzed to work better. Prescriptions from the people who have staunchly said this was bad for us because the DEA said so? Please. Look at the Schaffer report from Nixons time. They say they don't want Big Cannabis because they don't. They want more big pharma from other countries. After your last post I will concede the quality and entourage effect argument but the alcohol based mouth spray is still shitty. And ironically, treating epilepsy in the case of charlotte figi did not require much if any THC, so parents of those epileptic children across the country should not be being told they have to wait for legislation or move to Colorado to avoid being arrested. Caregivers that I personally know in Oregon, Michigan, and other states make analyzed CBD and THC products that work now. These state CBD laws have been typically limiting access to epileptic children via hospitals when there are countless chronic conditions that benefit from this. GW is doin what they gotta do as business is business, but our government should be ashamed as our economy needs this badly. Maybe my problem with GW is not at their core but around their periphery.
