Weed The People: A Talk with Abby Epstein

http://vimeo.com/87602861

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.

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.
