Pharmacopeia’s synthetic marijuana is called Marinol. Apparently it lacks in the therapeutic compounds that are found in Cannabis. Here’s a link I found on Marinol vs. Natural Plant http://norml.org/component/zoo/categ...tural-cannabis

I agree with you that profits on current drugs for all kinds of diseases would take a monetary hit, and I’m not sure that you can patent any MMJ . Here is a link I found about Patenting MMJ http://www.theweedblog.com/pharmaceu...cal-marijuana/

They specifically talk about a pharmaceutical company in the UK that’s trying to do just that. Although they are charging outrageous amount of money for their version of what could be potentially grown in your backyard. Heaven forbid we might know what is good for us and try and heal ourselves without specific direction from a pharmaceutical company. It’s a weed for God’s sake. It’s grows naturally.

Anyway, here’s another very interesting video on the subject. A scientific view looking at the chemistry behind MMJ. I saw this years ago and found it fascinating.
