How does it feel knowing we had a cure for Cancer years ago and the reason we don't cure it (much like Aids and other life shortening but treatable diseases) is the fact that the TREATMENT of disease is a industry in itself.

No. An upstart grabs the tech and tries to sell it for cheap, but the technology is patented. The patent holder doesn't bring the technology to market, but sues the shit out of anyone who does.

Then a country like India says "fuck this shit" and develops the technology for themselves. The patent holding corporation in the states then bribes American politicians into drafting a bunch of laws threatening to embargo, tax, or whatever, India.

Indian politicians go "oh shit", accept some bribes, and legislate and make illegal the technology in support of the patent holding company's wishes.

Like I told you already, this sort of thing is happening right now with various drugs on the market. The only difference is that the company doesn't sit on the medicine, they just sell it at extremely inflated prices far in excess of what it costs to make the drugs because sick people don't give a rats ass about how much their medicine costs if it cures them.

But if a company WANTED to just sit on the medicine, they could do that. Our patent laws allow it, the government system allows it, trade agreements allow it.

Placebo =/= treatment.

Sometimes a placebo can cause your brain to reconfigure itself back to normality, but there's nothing in marijuana that kills any sort of bacteria or repairs any sort of protein strings. In other words, it's only a placebo that can relax you.

That's why pharmaceuticals don't want it legalized, because many people will just use it to "treat" themselves, while never actually getting to the root of the problem. It's like getting drunk to hide a hangover, it only gets worse the more you leave it.

Which again relates to my point about not getting to the root of the problem. For some scenarios, like brain diseases, it makes sense to use a depressant, because it slows brain activity to a normal level, an example would be ADHD drugs like Riddilin.

However, while marijuana may show "therapeutic effects" for certain conditions, that does not necessarily rid you of said condition, it rids you of the symptoms, hence being a placebo. However, this never fully cures the patient, and their forced to take a drug for the rest of their life so long as they have whatever they were ailed with in the first place.

Likewise, if marijuana was made legal, we'd have an incredible spike in DUI incidents, because people don't know how to control themselves. And don't pull that bullshit about driving high is safer than driving drunk, it's bullshit.

If this isn't a perfect example of what I'm talking about..

Corporations want control, and they want money. Cure for cancer is a lot of money, but if it's unpatented then why subsidize the research when you can just steal it all and patent it later, when it's finished, for free?

and then you get a monopoly on the treatment, which means artificially inflating the price unless a government regulatory body stops you.

>>1484765

>Implying cold medicine and every other medicine that reduces symptoms is a placebo

There are no reasons to keep marijuana illegal. It does have medical benefits and there is no evidence that it is a placebo. The legalization would not cause usage to rise. There has never been a case where a drug is legalized and usage goes up. It's actually the opposite(see Portugal). It's safer and more enjoyable as a social drug than tobacco and alcohol. There is much money to made off of it through taxes and environmentally friendly from the hemp products that can be made. Many urban areas would improve because people wouldn't have the option to sell weed. People in areas like Detroit sell weed instead of having a productive job because it's much more profitable.

IMO, those potential damages PALE in comparison to the current damages caused by making weed illegal.

Things like driving while high can be fought the same way drinking and driving were. A quick test for THC in the blood stream is a technological challenge, but not one that is impossible. And regulated drugs mean safe and reliable drugs. Maybe you *could* grow your own. Maybe everyone will have some weed growing in their shed that they harvest for themselves. More likely I think people would rather just run down to the drug store and pick some up, even if it's a couple dollars more expensive than if they made it themselves.

luckily this method hits one of the few traits common to all cancer cells; they have protein tags, and they can be easily attached to by synthetic tags bonded to the gold nanoparticles

which is why dozens of universities are scrambling to find a cheap way to bind proteins to gold nanoparticles

also to everyone saying it's going to get sat on by some pharmaceutical company; realize that pretty much everyone will boycott that company into the fucking DIRT if they do that. every media outlet in the world will slam their ass daily with "big evil corp" and "boycott the red eyed demons", the last place you want to be.
