520    In the United States, cannabis is currently illegal, but 
       this book investigates how big pharmaceutical companies 
       are looking at an end-game of legality--controlled by 
       them. It examines how the Amsterdam scene has been 
       transformed; how home growers have been manipulated into 
       using inferior techniques; and how companies, with help 
       from the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) and "big pharma," 
       are patenting cannabis strains for control and profit. The
       leadership of the cannabis industry want to legalize 
       marijuana with taxation and regulation, but the 
       pharmaceutical industry cannot take over medical cannabis 
       without first shutting down the scene today. The book 
       predicts that legalized production will be tightly 
       controlled by major players, using the IRS and DEA as a 
       means of removing other growers. Regulation will also 
       control the amount of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) in each 
       marijuana cigarette, forcing stronger cannabis to be 
       available to medical patients by prescription only. A 
       black market will still exist, so people will still go to 
       jail, and the drug war will go on. With history and 
       explosive, behind-the-scenes looks at big pharma collusion,
       this book is both an expos and an in-depth look at the arc
       of freedom and probable control through use of 
       pharmaceutical patents for marijuana.
