Canada's new medicinal cannabis regulations want to authorize commercial production by licensed producers and to stop giving licences for designated growers, so basically they are going to allow multi-million dollar corporations to take over most of the production of hundreds of tons of legal cannabis each year in North America ?
That means to me, that the companies that already have the first research facilities permits are going to be the
one taking over the legal production in Canada.
In 1998 GW pharm was founded, and in '98, Hortapharm B.V. sold almost all of their strains to british GW pharmaceutical, from that moment of history a newly created corporation had genetic control over most of the old-school dutch strains.
GW Pharm has a research facility in the Porton Down's United Kingdom military Park, a place where the UK government is researching CBRN defense, and has been making drugs and weapons tests on humans and animals, from there they have been able to created a whole bunch of patents relating Cannabinoid combinations and Therapeutic uses.
What i'm afraid that will happen one day, is that GW pharma could claim their intellectual rights over all the strains that they bought in '98, and they will be claimed due to their genetic genome background, something that they would track with a PCR machine and the AFLP analysis profiles.
When Cannabis becomes accepted on a global-scale, some pharmaceutical companies will be like Altria in the cigarrette business or like Coors in the brewing industry.
Ex :
Licensing agreements for the sale of sativex where given to :
-Bayer got the market in UK and Canada.
-Almirall got most of Europe.
-Novartis who got australia, new zealand, asia, middle east and africa ( excluding china & japan).
-Otsuka got the USA
Picture a similar monopoly in the next decade but with Legal cannabis and if you have in any of your strains mixed up with the patented strain they own then you will be out of business that simple.
Now, i would like to see cannabis taken off from the hands of criminals, so we can have some kind of standard concerning what goes into commercial cannabis for patients and recreational use.
However until it's still illegal for me to grow more than 6 plants for my personal use and meanwhile the government is growing tons and Bayer is selling it ? Bayer the same company that created heroin, Mustard gas and helped IG farben with the production of Zyklon B ?
F.ck that, I hope they won't be growing or $elling our pot, and I hope it will be legal one day for me to grow my beloved plants without fearing persecution.
