2003 – INTERESTING YEAR

There were two interesting events both related to CBD, that took place in 2003.

1. the US Federal Patent on CBD and other cannabinoid molecular particles

2. Application for trials with various CBD:THC extracts by GW Pharma was announced in:

Drugs in R & D:
2003 – Volume 4 – Issue 5 – pp 306-309
Adis R&D Profile

Is it possible this was a total coincidence? I find it difficult to believe. In this Drugs article, there was stated hope to have Sativex distributed way back in 2003.

I am not slamming GW at all; I think they are an incredibly forward thinking company. I am bringing this up as it is just one more example of the hypocrisy surrounding cannabis. Now, with more money coming into cannabis from everywhere, we had all better be very careful in potential “success” not to lose what we all have worked so hard for; legal, safe and effective cannabis medicines at compassionate prices.
