Justin Gover, GW’s Chief Executive Officer. “Sativex is not only protected by seven different patent families but its exclusivity is further enhanced by other forms of protection such as plant variety rights.

Plant breeders' rights (PBR), also known as plant variety rights (PVR)
Plant breeders' rights (PBR), also known as plant variety rights (PVR), are rights granted to the breeder of a new variety of plant that give the breeder exclusive control over the propagating material (including seed, cuttings, divisions, tissue culture) and harvested material (cut flowers, fruit, foliage) of a new variety for a number of years.

With these rights, the breeder can choose to become the exclusive marketer of the variety, or to license the variety to others. In order to qualify for these exclusive rights, a variety must be new, distinct, uniform and stable.

A variety is:

• new if it has not been commercialized for more than one year in the country of protection
  
• distinct if it differs from all other known varieties by one or more important botanical characteristics, such as height, maturity, color, etc.
  
• uniform if the plant characteristics are consistent from plant to plant within the variety stable if the plant characteristics are genetically fixed and therefore remain the same from generation to generation, or after a cycle of reproduction in the case of hybrid varieties.

Who owns cannabis plant protection and what does it protect?

Mr. Watson is responsible for securing protection for 29 cultivars under the International Union for the Protection of New Varieties of Plants (UPOV) breeder's rights.

.... highly specialized cultivars, he developed them so what's your problem?

Here is why I think CosmicGiggle makes for a good example of what a troll is.

1st rule of identifying a troll is they play the man not the ball.
2nd rule of identifying a troll is they often play a complex and subtle game with things like false sincerity.

Also with trolling, one of the key things is about baiting, it’s about trying to get other people to respond.
There are also ways in which they provoke futile argument. Some of the maybe, argument fallacies of attacking a straw person, calling arguments rumors, things that may provoke others in the community to respond. See https://www.dwrl.utexas.edu/2016/11/...c-of-trolling/

Psychological studies show trolls tend to be male, show higher levels of psychopathy traits — low levels of empathy, guilt and responsibility for their actions — and higher levels of sadism traits, the enjoyment of causing others physical and psychological pain.

Trolls are also motivated by what psychologists call "atypical social rewards" or "inverted social reward" where they get their kicks through the enjoyment of callous treatment of others and negatively associated with the enjoyment of positive social interactions.
This indicates a pattern of ‘inverted’ social reward in which being cruel is enjoyable and being kind is not. See Inverted Social Reward: Associations between Psychopathic Traits and Self-Report and Experimental Measures of Social Reward

Basically, trolls get their kicks fundamentally because they suffer from a negative attention disorder (with underlying psychopathic tendencies) where upsetting people evokes a negative response and feeds the troll (i.e. it gives them pleasure and motivates them to troll more).

The point really is to ignore the troll and not feed his psychological pathos for inflicting hurt on others.
