It wasn't holy.

No need to patent anything, just as there is no need to patent tobacco. Just package: Vancouver Gold, Maui Wowi, Chicago Crip, Thai Sticks, etc. And some could be labled "Organically Grown," "Shade Dried," "Free Roaming." The possibilities are endless.
If you beleive a free market exists let me introduce you to prime real estate I have for sale. The market for drugs is strong only because it is a controlled market. Demand is moderated and kept high because of the laws that make drugs illegal are used to restrict supply.
If you have ever had any connection with law enforcement you would realize most drug busts are the result of tips. Most of these tips come from competing suppliers.
No, the free markets are not free.
