World Health Org (WHO) approves CBD

WHO's CBD report: http://www.who.int/medicines/access/controlled-substances/5.2_CBD.pdf
CNN news article: http://edition.cnn.com/2017/12/14/health/cannabidiol-carfentanil-who-bn-intl/index.html

A quick quote from the CNN article...

Cannabidiol, a naturally occurring chemical found in marijuana plants, is "not likely to be abused or create dependence," an initial review by the WHO's Expert Committee on Drug Dependence found.

Another couple reminders...

• USA is the only country in the world that lets Big Pharma set their own prices.
• USA has PRIVATE PRISONS, and the "land of the free" has more people per capita in prison than any other country in the world. Geez, wonder why?
• USA has US patent 6630507 specifically for MEDICAL USE OF MARIJUANA, despite cannabis being Schedule 1 which is a schedule where "there are no medical uses".
