Abby Epstein and Ricki Lake 3 months ago
In Weed the People, filmmakers Abby Epstein and Ricki Lake take an unflinching look at the underground world of herbal medicine, where patients become experts on their own conditions and spend thousands of dollars on federally illegal medicines that are concocted in suburban kitchens. Nowhere is this phenomenon more compelling than in the treatment of children, who are ignorant of the stigma of medicinal marijuana and whose parents will stop at nothing to help them. Weed the People looks beyond pot-activist propaganda and politics to reveal the legitimate science behind cannabis medicine and the compelling stories of ordinary people whose lives are inescapably caught up in the controversy.

Once it's legal, pharma will do all the legwork on figuring out what dosages of what component will work on various illnesses. The medical stuff will be completely different from the plant, itself, so various formulations can be patented. The foxglove plant is an example of patenting a refined plant product in controlled dosages.
