Previously, only a couple of components were relatively known and, as it turns out, the government appears to have a keen interest in patents on them.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, the report stressed the vast amount of anecdotes and current research that demonstrates the herb to be a safe and non-addictive alternative to opioids which have proven to be disastrous and even deadly.
