Why did the US Gov issued itself a patent for medical marijuana in 2003 if it has no medical value? (Patent 6630507)

Created by R.N. on May 23, 2012

Why is it that the US Government issued itself a patent (6630507) for medical marijuana when it has no medical value? Why have a third of the fifty states instituted some form of medical marijuana program? Why is it that I can find articles from respected scientific journals and even US Government studies that support the fact that marijuana cures cancer when it clearly has no medical value?
