FDA to Approve Cannabis-Based Pharmaceutical for Multiple Health Conditions
Natural Society
GW Pharmaceuticals is expected to be given a green light for a cannabidiol drug (marijuana-based medicine) which has shown promise in the treatment of epileptic children, cutting epileptic attacks down by as much as 100% (45% average). When will the Feds admit cannabis is a medical miracle?
In one breath the mainstream medical system has been telling us that ‘cannabis has no medicinal value,’ while the U.S. government has stealthily patented cannabinoid-based medicine which obviously shows that our government officials are well aware that cannabis can be extremely valuable from a medicinal standpoint.
The FDA will soon grant a license to GW Pharmaceuticals for treating patients with multiple sclerosis with a drug called Epidiolex. That’s odd, since the FDA has repeatedly said that marijuana is not ‘safe and effective’ for treating anything. [1]
Similar cannabis-based formulations created by GW Pharmaceuticals and other drug companies are expected to treat autism, muscular dystrophy, glioma, ovarian and pancreatic cancer and schizophrenia, as well as epileptics. Orders for this product are expected to grow 40 times over in the coming years. [2]
Obtained in 2003, one U.S. government patent (US Patent 6630507) titled “Cannabinoids as antioxidants and neuroprotectants” is assigned to The United States of America, as represented by the Department of Health and Human Services. The patent states:
“Cannabinoids have been found to have antioxidant properties, unrelated to NMDA receptor antagonism. This new found property makes cannabinoids useful in the treatment and prophylaxis of wide variety of oxidation associated diseases, such as ischemic, age-related, inflammatory and autoimmune diseases.
The cannabinoids are found to have particular application as neuroprotectants, for example in limiting neurological damage following ischemic insults, such as stroke and trauma, or in the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease and HIV dementia.” [3]
If GW is scaling up production to meet demand for cannabis-based drugs – they surely work. When will the U.S. government finally legalize marijuana for medicinal use from a Federal level? It is clear that the lies about cannabis’ healing abilities are no longer believed. Medical marijuana’s value is becoming common knowledge now.

I have cancer, and it bugs me that the psychopath club that run everything on this planet and don’t have cancer, are telling me what I can and can’t treat myself with.
If they had a family member terminally ill, you can bet they have the contacts to get anything with an inkling of promise.
How many more good folk will die before these mental marshmallows come around to signing off on an already documented and proven cure?
Put these idiots on the unemployment line……or better still, give them community service in a cancer ward, changing rotten dressings and washing out putrid smelling bedpans of those terminal unfortunates who could have benefited from early treatment…..and front those twisted scum up to the deceased loved ones to explain how important it was to their personal moral comforts, to withhold treatment of an naturally occurring medicine that may well have preserved the life of that family’s’ mom, dad or child.
That should knock the arrogant pomp and circumstance out their rear ends…..if the families haven’t already.
