1. How about we give these same rights to all Americans. It seems OK to get drunk out of your mind

but illegal to get stoned? Stupid.

2. I have never heard of someone

having a vehicle accident or beat someone in a violent rage while high on cannabis.

Oh, wait a minute, yeah, I did. Someone was really drunk and high on cannabis but the only reason they wrecked the vehicle was because they were high on cannabis. The alcohol was not a factor at all.

It is amazing what they say or claim to keep cannabis illegal.

I can not remember where I read that article but it does exist. In other words I apologize that I can not give you the source of where I read that. It was a long time ago.

3. If four guys get together and get drunk they might start a fight.

If four guys get together and get stoned they might start a band.

4. but first they would devour all the food

I would far rather be in a room full of marijuana users than drunks

Stoned people are not aggressive or scary.

Drunks are.

So true.

6. The Problem with Marijuana, Unlike Prescription Drugs, is That it's Not Proprietary

Anyone can grow it, so the market can't be easily limited or controlled for profit.

9. Perhaps,if MJ growers patent their strains, like Monsanto does with seeds, they can sue home growers

Marijuana has become a huge corporate industry.

10. I wonder if the hippies will boycott GMO weed?

11. Patents on pot? U.S. lawsuit puts cannabis claims to the test

(Reuters) - In October, the U.S. government issued Axim Biotechnologies Inc a patent for a cannabis-based suppository to treat irritable bowel syndrome.

Britain’s GW Pharmaceuticals Plc, which recently brought to market a drug derived from marijuana for epilepsy, is now seeking patent protection for another one to treat eczema.

With marijuana now fully legal in Canada and at least partially legalized in the majority of U.S. states, companies are rushing to patent new formulations of the age-old botanical. This year, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office has issued 39 patents containing the words cannabis or marijuana in their summaries, up from 29 in 2017 and 14 in 2016.
