Copyright is the name of the game in pharmaceutical research, never be fooled into thinking they're trying to help anyone out of altruism.

I'm not 100% sure, but I think someone told me that trial was using a version of dronabinol, which was shown to be rather duff years ago, but with a little tweaking, it could be re-patented as something else if trials showed no dodgy effects. Bearing in mind they don't seem to have any clear idea of the mode of action (or if they do they're keeping it under wraps) they're stuck with re-combinant versions of existing compunds.

Watch out for companies blurring the line between recreational and therapetic compounds. They know it's a hell of a big market.
