Medicine and Politics Medicine and politics are so intertwined but I never knew how much until I came face to face with Cannabis. Cannabis was in more than 100 medicines before the 1930s when it was scheduled. This scheduling was due to the hemp industry taking over the pulp and paper industry. It’s also curious that the US government has held patents on many Cannabinoids. The US government has held patents related to cannabinoids since at least the early 2000s. One notable patent is US Patent 6630507, which was granted in 2003 and covers the potential use of cannabinoids as antioxidants and neuroprotectants. Now you know! hashtag #truth
