I've read about it in other articles. I don't really know that we've gained that much more than we had before, but this bill may be more permanent. As I understood the law that was previously in place but recently expired, the Justice Dept. was banned from spending money to enforce anti cannabis laws in State's where it's been legalized. I believe it was essentially reinstated by this law, but it may be more permanent, and Session's might realize that Congress is willing to overrule him.

Hopefully the next step will be full Federal legalization, but I suspect we'll need at least a few more State's legalizing it until Congress really recognizes that they're out of sync with most of America and they'll take the next step.

Smoking might ultimately still be illegal in certain public places, but that would work exceptionally well for OWCP as I really believe that our tablet could prove to be as or more effective than smoking, and it has none of the objections, in fact, I doubt that most people will be able to tell that someone is using it.

I'm reasonably certain that patents have been filed for the sublingual tablet, but I don't believe that full approval has yet been granted. The thing about patents is they are placeholders, if the initial review doesn't gain an approval they can be supplemented until sufficient information has been provided to gain the approval. What's important is that you're protected from the time you file the initial patent as long as you're still providing information that's requested to justify the approval. That's how a patent attorney explained it to me.
