From Market Watch. This story has a creepy, Big Pharma aspect to it, but still interesting. Epidiolex, the drug, is designed to treat Dravet Syndrome, and is pending FDA approval. All well and good, but why not just completely legalize marijuana and let people grow it and treat themselves? That wouldn’t be a patentable solution, while something with the name “Epidiolex” probably is. Which means companies like GW Pharmaceuticals are setting themselves up to be against marijuana legalization as a matter of policy.
