30. Big pharma is and will continue to fight against

the healing and comforting aspects of cannabis, especially THC oil made from the plant. Why you ask??? It's because the large pharmaceutical companies cannot patent a plant, so they can't make billions on this like they can with viagra. We have known for years that marijuana has healing properties, so it's time we put this knowledge to good use and do something beneficial for cancer patients instead of poisoning them with chemo and burning them with radiation. My husband has brain cancer and I would do anything to have him treated with THC. Check out the utube video called Run from the Cure. Watch and listen to Rick Simpson who has extracted the oil and just a small amount on the inside of your cheek can melt cancer away. It's time we get serious about the fight against cancer. We are losing too many people to his horrific disease.
