Monsanto And Bayer Maneuvering To Take Over Cannabis Indistry

[Pimples]

I think Larry Brooke made one of the slickest smartest moves in the entire industry..considering what the future holds for indoor (electricity) cannabis cultivation in the long run.

Monsanto And Bayer Maneuvering To Take Over Cannabis Indistry

The notion is nonsense, and isn't based on reality.

We have to make a stand. Otherwise these corporate giants will pay off the politicians to pass legislation making it illegal for anyone to grow and distribute but them

That's not how it works. Plain & simply.

That article is seriously chock-full of nonsense.

Pharmaceutical cannabis patents are restricted to the treatment of disease under strict DEA/FDA-guidelines.

The patents in question have absolutely zero to do with owning rights to commercially-available strains, and are strictly for the purpose of treating disease in conjunction with the FDA/DEA.

These corporate scientists are far more advanced than any commercial breeder in existence --> likewise, so are their cultivars.

Biotech already [created] their own cultivars which are completely devoid of THC, with pre-determined cannabinoid-content and pre-determined terpenoid-profiles

These corporations have no interest in our strains.... so why would they want rights to them????

Load o' shit

Biotech:

"present invention provides specialty cannabis plants, plant parts, plant tissues and plant cells which provide a way to deliver a consistent and more tolerable and effective ratio of cannabinoids by providing plants that comprise non-THC cannabinoids (“CBs”) to patients (e.g., <THC:>CBs than in presently-available cannabis varieties)."



You can't have a pharmaceutical patent application granted, and expect the patent to apply to anything other than it's intended use.

The following excerpt is from the FDA Laws & Regulations website:



"Whether a product is a cosmetic or a drug under the law is determined by a product's intended use."

"An NDA is the vehicle through which drug sponsors formally propose that FDA approve a pharmaceutical for sale and marketing in the United States. FDA only approves an NDA after determining, for example, that the data is adequate to show the drug's safety and effectiveness for its proposed use and that its benefits outweigh the risks."

There is no such thing as legal cannabis in the United States (other than for Schedule II disease-treatment). The notion that it's legal in any state is a farce.

Marijuana will [never] be removed from the CSA as a Schedule I & II controlled --> The government's patent number 6,630,507 ensures this.

Lobbying is not going to accomplish anything because the DEA has the control - and that power is expressly delegated to it [by] Congress.

These cannabinoid patents pertain to the treatment of disease - under strict DEA/FDA-guidelines.

No pharmaceutical corporation is gonna lobby the DEA into changing those guidelines in an effort to squash clandestine breeders and the industry as we know it, and more importantly.... no corporation is even attempting to do so.

They don't necessarily want those strains, they want them out of the market like they did for other crops. They forced farmers to buy their seeds by ruling out the heirlooms of the market...

You seem quite over-confident... to be honest. It seems you work for one of those...

 

[BioStimz]

No. You need to acknowledge the separation of black market cannabis vs pharmaceutical cannabis.

Cannabis is illegal in all 50 states - unless it's being used to treat disease under strict DEA/FDA guidelines. That fact can't be disputed.

These corporations don't care about our clandestine cultivars, and their patent applications have nothing to do with them anyways. They design their own cultivars, exclusively for the treatment of disease.

lol....

Try that with a Schedule I / II controlled

You seem convinced that this will never be de-schedule. I'm convinced of the opposite. When it will be officially legal, watch those corporations moves!
It is irresponsible to claim there is no risk of takeover based on the assumption that cannabis will remain Schedule 1 forever when all signs point toward the opposite. Republicans in Texas are in favor of legalization at the Federal level... You still believe we'll all remain outlaws for decades...?

That's why I say you work for them or are supporting corporate takeover with those "nothing to worry about" claims.

 

[BioStimz]

You seem convinced that this will never be de-schedule.

Precisely.

I'm convinced of the opposite.

It's blatantly obvious by your previous comments, that you have no idea how this all works. You're just regurgitating the same shit the last guy said.... so what you're convinced of, really doesn't hold any weight.

I don't want to be condescendent (like you "blatantly" are), but you have no single argument. You seem quite full of yourself, over-confident about your assertions while not providing any fact to support your claims.

70% of the US population lives in states where cannabis is legal. The wealthiest state legalized earlier this year. NY, and now even Texas... are in line...

Billions of dollars were (and keep being) invested in growing and processing facilities, as well as in the entire supply chain. State governments implement regulation bodies, write laws etc. which costs hundreds of millions of dollars, while they stop spending on law enforcement related to cannabis.

You are completely disconnected from this reality believing that Cannabis will remain schedule 1 for another decade. All changes came from the ground up, and cannabis legalization is no exception.

There is NO coming back... it's too late.

Money is GOD in America, and WAY TOO MUCH money was poured in this industry for the Federal government to shut it down or maintain the barriers for another decade.

The "money people" who invested in this industry have too many connections with the financial industry (who themselves are lobbying congressmen all day) to allow the federal government to prevent them from reaping the fruits of their investments.

It's just a matter of time...

Precisely what assertions and what claims are you referring to?

 

[BioStimz]

Unequivocally false.

See what I mean about your being "convinced"?

Marijuana is 100% illegal in all 50-states, other than for the treatment of disease as a Schedule II controlled-substance, under strict DEA/FDA guidelines.

.... Said the guy who actually thinks marijuana is legal anywhere in the US.

 

[BioStimz]

One more time: ILLEGAL

--> Says the CSA <--

Even if all 50-states favor decriminalization.... The CSA/DEA still says it's illegal, and can prosecute as such.

No, lobbying doesn't do shit because the DEA has thecontrol - and that power is expressly delegated to it [by] Congress.

Could you at least brush up on the basics ?
