Far out dude…
I am super interested to see how this goes. I’ve heard studies from western states have shown encouraging results in some people.
It only took 50 years to circle back to considering these things might have benefits beyond getting high or hearing colors.
Maybe with enough voter pressure. I’d like to think even opposing political voters could see the benefits.
And of course, yes, the patent aspect is a little infuriating. I agree.
Hell, I’d concede and let them make their money if we could all get some benefits of the development.
It beats having only pills, self medication, untreated conditions, etc in my opinion.
Purdue is going to research it anyways.
If taxpayer money pays for research, at least some percent of the proceeds should go back to the state. With this, we get nothing.
All they have to do it is tweak it enough to be legally different. Then patent that and pay off state legislators to keep actual mushrooms illegal in Indiana and probably other states
The existence of a controlled derivative would be used as an argument against the natural version that’s essentially free to grow.
That would be bad for everyone in my opinion. I wonder how they’d be able to control that. Hour could you tell? People would just grow them anyway. Good luck checking everyone’s basement.
I do have trust issues though. I really want an my future substances made by Lily. Just at non gouging prices. I suppose that’s asking too much.
I’m still going to fire some emails at my reps since it costs me nothing but time, the precious moments of my life I’ll never get back…
