you do realize the link I posted regarding drugs actually shows the drug was released to the public BEFORE they were issued patent, right? If you think the FDA doesnt rush drugs through, and that patents stop that in any way, you are way incorrect.

Sativex is perfect example for this thread.
Company patented "THC" in pill form and want to stop others from making pills using THC. THC however, is a natural chemical and should never be patented in the first place.
Again though, in my post above I link perfect exacmple of drug that was released to public BEFORE patent was issued.
