Interesting US law, is it the same in the UK

In the 1970s, the taxonomic classification of Cannabis took on added significance in North America. Laws prohibiting Cannabis in the United States andCanada specifically named products of C. sativa as prohibited materials. Enterprising attorneys for the defense in a few drug busts argued that the seized Cannabis material may not have been C. sativa, and was therefore not prohibited by law. Attorneys on both sides recruited botanists to provide expert testimony. Among those testifying for the prosecution was Dr. Ernest Small, while Dr. Richard E. Schultes and others testified for the defense. The botanists engaged in heated debate (outside of court), and both camps impugned the other's integrity.[SUP][33][/SUP][SUP][34][/SUP] The defense attorneys were not often successful in winning their case, because the intent of the law was clear.[SUP][41]

The UK gov have given GW pharm a phase 3 testing licence. That means that they now have permission to roll the tests out to be done properly and controlled. They are now allowed to perform controlled experiments using sativex, the thc pills(forget the name) and placebo's. This is a move forward in my eyes, cos then if the test subjects swing towards the sativex and not the placebo's then that can only mean even further testing. Check clearUK's website they have a lot more info. Even sign up to become a member, all funds go towards the legal costs to help get what we want@figong, The classifications are flawed too, Cannabis is classed as a schedule 1 drug which means no medical values....You know as much as i do that is bs, Thats why its very hard for any pharma company to get research licence

ive always felt the us fed listing cannabis as sched 1 narc makes this hilarious....... or just plain sad. us patent #6630507. this is also why studies cant be done here. us gov says "big pharma continues to win".
