here's an interesting double standard hypocrisy question mark that has risen
we have Colorado legalizing marijuana
but at the same time federally marijuana is still illegal
and the government is very very much against marijuana recreationally even
against it
in terms of medicinal marijuana at the same time though
remember that the US government has a patent
on medicinal marijuana a lot of people don't know this but check out US Patent
663 05 07 called
cannabinoids as antioxidants and neuroprotective
