Actually, you can't. That's the whole point in fact. They're not patenting "cannabinoids" to compete with a superior natural product. They're lobbying government for new restrictions against it, telling them "our clinically proven product is safe, and effect. It only had two cases of brain death out of ten who were treated for migraines. Doctors trust the standardized dosing and are comfortable prescribing it."
This is already going on and they are already lobbying government for new and protective regulations based on the pre existing fear mongering that's already been done on their behalf. You need look no further than The Arthritis Society to see it in motion, who are their one removed lobbyist wing masquerading as a charity stake holder.
Colorado vets were looking into a lawsuit the last I heard because they were told they couldn't use it for PTSD, because they have synthetic cannabinoids patented and clinically approved for that and were instead invited to pay the sin tax on the recreational garbage. Rights removed.
Meanwhile their medical "constitution" has been increasingly restricted by local governments. The consensus is that the billions they're raking in with restrictive and burdensome sin tax isn't enough for them as the medical use rights that they've had are a threat to their total monopolization and infinite tax projections. Pull your head out of your ass anytime soon.
"The biggest fight will likely be how to squeeze more taxes out of medical pot."
"But lawmakers can’t raise medical pot taxes without going back to voters. Instead, they may try to winnow the medical patient pool and drive patients to the recreational market.
One proposal would require more scrutiny of the doctors who recommend marijuana for the most common ailment on the registry — severe pain."
Colorado’s Medical Marijuana Industry Threatened by Potential Regulatory Movehttps://archive.is/3oDa8
"The specific new proposals, which require mandatory access to the Prescription Drug Monitoring Program that many doctors may not have as well as obligating them to fill out 14 different documents, could make it more difficult for patients with medical needs to obtain authorization and, thus, be subjected to not only much higher taxation but also limited access to higher dosages required for many conditions."

"Closed dangerous loophole"
"“The safety rationale is just laughable. That was invented by city council.”
He said the real issue is money. “The city has been quite honest about the fact that it wants more tax revenue and it wants to eliminate anything it can’t tax.”
He vowed to sue if the collective limit on the number of plants passed, which it did."
Fair enough, except new York, their clinics are just opening up. I know someone very close to one of the organizations in operation. But let the good fight win. Public perception has changed and that helps, it isn't all but it helps.
Those clinics are a closed model already. It's one of the methods used to curtail medical rights in Canada and elsewhere as demonstrated in one of the links. Here they they exist outside of the regulated MMPR system as the clinics were a carry over scam from the previous MMAR system and an importation of the a two tier/double billing scam from places like Colorado where they thought it was cool to charge someone $400+ for a "prescription". Here they would even attempt charging graduated fees based on your level of income.
They amount to illegal store fronts just like dispensaries only they claim to not be doing any dispensing, or growing, but those were often lies too. They all play fast and loose with the rules that they seek exemption from themselves but would hold others to as it's all just rent seeking, exploitation and profiteering. The recent brand of clinics from Liftcannabis are a front for the Licensed Producers to work around not having any doctor buy in, and therefore not having any patients.
But they also don't have any patients because the products that they produce are of substandard quality and far overpriced. They bullshit about what stringent standards they have but none are in relation to producing a quality product and they still have it walking out of the front door and diverted.
So rather than actual genuine health care services, their bullshit doctors are just Skype scammers, "pot doctors", with no more knowledge than anyone with an internet connection can obtain in five minutes. They primarily serve as marketing agents for the Licensed Producer product line and some have been based around that entirely. "Free prescription but monthly follow ups to hear about the new strains". They get an LP kickback for the subscription and then bill them directly for the basic product info that they should have available for free in order to empower them as consumers to make educated decisions in the supposed "free market" system. It's all completely backwards and it's Health Canada that apparently won't allow them to market their strains in an effective manner but instead allow them complete freedom to market their corporate brands as irresponsibly as possible.
With the new clinics you now get a quick teleconference, previously over skype and now done via data mining software, "my virtual clinic", where they take no responsibility for your heatlh or privacy while doing their best to compromise both. This all has the effect of working to undermine medical user's rights to reasonable access and fortifying the restrictive and backwards protectionist notion of "doctors as gate keepers" which is the umbilical that they depend on. The gate they're keeping belongs to their pharmaceutical masters. Public perception is brain surgery with a butter knife. They've been driving the narrative with an array of useful idiots and UN imposed feminist subversion artists. They misappropriate all rational arguments and spin them towards their liking, undermining every threat to them. It's really very amusing as they're clearly all mental midgets and just all painting by numbers, completely content fucking everyone over.

Or you could just use pot. Tested for years with zero deaths.

California, Colorado, New York, etc. et al. would disagree.

They're trying to disagree and they're losing.
