No trolling. Sry. Just sarcasm. Too many stories recently where marijuana seems to cure everything. It just seems like tomorrow I will wake up and read that THC mixed with green tea will grow back a severed limb.

Lately Ive read here that:
1) MAry Jane kills ebola
2) silver nanites kill ebola
So yeah... screw it... I'm down for your cure too. Screw it...weed kills all and cures all!
The sad thing is when people read this pure bull# they are fooled into trying it with bad results... but hey who a i to step in the way of science.
You've gotta be kidding right?
Silver and marijuana have antimicrobial and antiviral properties.. I can link you National institute of health studies from the Government.. The Studies don't claim anything like that "kills ebola."
The science shows that there is an interruption of enzymes that would naturally be used in replication of Ebola. This means if you catch it early and inject not ingest nano silver particulates that you can slow the spread of Ebola inside your body enough for your antibodies to build up and you can fight it off.
I have looked through lots of studies showing the body makes antibodies that cure Ebola, it's just that they aren't in a high enough concentration to prevent organ damage.. However if you can slow down the spread by shutting off enzymes that are used to replicate viral DNA/RNA... You are in business.. And that's what the studies show.

See, therein lies your ignorance. Even if marijuana was curing diseases in a manner your rant suggested it would not be the THC that was doing the curing, after all, how could a psycho-active chemical cure anything? It won't (that's the feel better part). On the other hand, the CBD will likely be the chemical doing the healing.
just sayin...
That's not true..
Here is a study on THC delta 9...
National Institute of Health
Delta9-tetrahydrocannabinol inhibits cell cycle progression in human breast cancer cells through Cdc2 regulation.
That study goes on to explain that it doesn't inhibit healthy breast cells from growing only the cancerous ones.
THC is one of the anti cancer pieces. People will say that THC doesn't kill cancer and it doesn't. Some of the proven effects in Government studies show that it can slow growth. BUT the main promising factor is way more important..
"Marijuana And Cancer: Scientists Find Cannabis Compound Stops Metastasis In Aggressive Cancers"
If you understand cancer you understand that metastasis is the thing that will kill you, not the tumor.
That is the CBD part not the THC part. But both have anti cancer properties.
