the court of public opinion is moving us toward national reform. \u00a0Throughout the world, nations and their citizens are re-thinking the way we talk about cannabis and leading cannabis reform.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Choosing to ignore science and maintain these antiquated views, certainly the DEA, in concert with our FDA, does not want Americans to have federally legal access to cannabis. \u00a0The cannabinoid extracts, phyto-cannabinoids, can supplement the largest self regulatory system within the human body, the endogenous cannabinoid system, thus providing health and wellness benefits. \u00a0The US Government patented research via US patent # 6,630,507 describes Cannabinoids as Antioxidants and Neuroprotectants; this was applied for in 1999 and awarded in 2003.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Synthetic THC that has been developed into a pharmaceutical, including Marinol and Dronabinol, is scheduled as less than Schedule I &#8211; yet the botanical version remains a Schedule I federally controlled substance. \u00a0When one looks at the harm of many synthetic cannabinoids and the number of deaths attributed, and then sees that no one has ever died of an overdose of natural botanical cannabis, one wonders how a natural plant can be a Schedule I federally controlled substance.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Recent research from San Diego&#8217;s Salk Institute and Dr. David Schubert show that cannabinoids assist the brain by decreasing inflammation (the root cause of all disease) as well as by reducing beta-amyloid accumulation. \u00a0This beta-amyloid accumulation is a hallmark of Alzheimer&#8217;s disease. \u00a0Dr. Schubert\u2019s research is especially significant because Big Pharma is zero-for-192 tries to develop a medication that will even slow the progression of Alzheimer&#8217;s &#8211; yet cannabis may provide these sought after health benefits.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So telling us that cannabis is illegal is analogous to telling horses and cows that they cannot eat pasture grass. \u00a0By keeping us from consuming the very food and nutrients of our human &#8220;biological adaptation&#8221; is a sure recipe for disease and sickness. \u00a0Those of us in the industry believe that many of in our world are &#8220;cannabinoid deficient&#8221; &#8211; and that the ones who are &#8220;cannabinoid sufficient&#8221; will prosper via longevity and excellent health. \u00a0This concept of providing proper &#8220;nutrition to combat disease&#8221; is unheard of in the halls of our three-letter regulatory agencies &#8211; but well spoken in health-conscious alternative \/ integrative medical and therapeutic circles.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stymieing the potential for legitimacy of the developing cannabis industry, the underground economy for cannabis and cannabis-based products thrives. \u00a0Huge numbers of jobs are being created &#8211; in Colorado there is economic boom and growth, despite that much of this industry is fully cash-based and non-bankable. \u00a0Soon this &#8220;underground economy&#8221; will supplant the &#8220;legitimate economy&#8221; and we will be reporting &#8220;above ground&#8221; GDP figures as well as &#8220;below ground&#8221; GDP, then &#8220;above ground&#8221; and &#8220;below ground&#8221; employment figures, etc.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the meantime, Wall Street investors continue to pour money into deals \u2013 recently Canopy Growth Corp. in Canada received another multi-million-dollar investment. \u00a0New York Stock Exchange listed Scotts Miracle Grow\u2019s (NYSE: SMG) CEO has decided to pour $500 million into various cannabis-related investments, recently purchasing an Arizona-based nutrients and hydroponics company for over $40 million. \u00a0A New York based private equity concern, Tuatara Capital, raised $93 million for two growth funds in the cannabis space.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although the DEA has tried to keep the growth of the industry muted \u2013 their credibility and hypocrisy is reaching all time highs. \u00a0The American public and the world will not stand for this much longer.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To good health \u2013<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stu<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Stuart W Titus, PhD<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">President &amp;
