There is a lack of transparency with the FDA & DEA when it comes to issues like marijuana.. The government has a patent on cannabinoids as an antioxidant & and neuroprotectants, which can be found here http://www.patentstorm.us/patents/6630507.html .  Whall they claim that marijuana has no health benefits, why would they have a patent making claims there is health benefits?  I also found that Professor ElSohly of Mississippi has a Federal license to exclusively produce marijuana for the pharmaceutical company Mallinckrodt, a subsidiary of Tyco International, when the patent for Marinol is up. Which is due to go off-patent in 2011. Making the Professor a very rich man off tax payers money. I am calling for a transparency within the DEA & FDA under the Data Quality Act set forth by President Obama. Which would give the people all the research that they have conducted on marijuana pertaining to his health benefits or lack thereof. We are told that there is no health benefits from marijuana whall they themselves put out medication, creating patents and filling their wallets at tax payers expense behind the scenes.. We deserve to know the truth, when it comes to all drugs, even the ones in our medicine cabinets... thank you...
