Cure for cancer has been found

All mammals have a 'THC receptor' in their brain called a cannabinoid.
It's only function is to process THC, giving you the euphoric 'high'.
Simply put, humans and marijuana are a match made in heaven.

Good luck with your bone and joint problem. I know canabis helped my uncle greatly during the last 2 years of his life, battling cancer that spread like crazy.

Thanks man, great to hear that it helped him at least a bit.

Antineoplastic activity of cannabinoids

Abstract Lewis lung adenocarcinoma growth was retarded by the oral administration of delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol, delta-8-tetrahydrocannabinol, and cannabinol (CBN), but not cannabidiol (CBD). Animals treated for 10 consecutive days with delta-9-THC, beginning the day after tumor implantation, demonstrated a dose-dependent action of retarded tumor growth. Mice treated for 20 consecutive days with delta-8-THC and CBN had reduced primary tumor size. CBD showed no inhibitory effect on tumor growth at 14, 21, or 28 days. Delta-9-THC, delta-8-THC, and CBN increased the mean survival time (36% at 100 mg/kg, 25% at 200 mg/kg, and 27% at 50 mg/kg;, respectively), whereas CBD did not. Delta-9-THC administered orally daily until death in doses of 50, 100, or 200 mg/kg did not increase the life-spans of (C57BL/6 X DBA/2) F (BDF) mice hosting the L1210 murine leukemia. However, delta-9-THC administered daily for 10 days significantly inhibited Friend leukemia virus-induced splenomegaly by 71% at 200 mg/kg as compared to 90.2% for actinomycin D. Experiments with bone marrow and isolated Lewis lung cells incubated in vitro with delta-8-THC and delta-9-THC showed a dose-dependent (10 -4 10 -7) inhibition (80-20%, respectively) of tritiated thymidine and 14C -uridine uptake into these cells. CBD was active only in high concentrations (10 -4)

They've known that since 1975 when this study was done and published in the Journal of National Cancer Institute and sponsored by the American Cancer Society

But apparently, since a plant can't be patented there was no money put into it's development.

Lots of natural things can help cure many ailments but unless it can be controlled by big business to make money it will be shot down and repressed, anyone could grow it in their backyards big business wouldn't like that.

Ahh that is where you are wrong!
Just wait till Monsanto change the colour of the seed.

Then it will become I.P, at which point they can sell it as the cure came from the gene splicing.


Just you wait.

That would be too much...

My uncle also used cannabis during his last couple of years of life. He had been diagnosed with Leukemia, and he absolutely despised what the morphine did to him. Sure, it killed the pain, but it also killed his brain. He was a zombie, often not even having the ability to drag himself out of bed. Marijuana never had that effect on him, and it also helped with his appetite, and the nausea he had so badly after chemo sessions.

Sadly, certain members of his immediate family decided that it was no good for him, and made it very difficult for him to obtain it. I mean, after all, it's illegal, and therefore EVIL, right? Makes me sick to my stomach when I think about it. The Leukemia, in the end, isn't what killed him. He decided that having to live his life wasting away in a state of permanent zombification was, in fact, no way to live at all.

And that was that.

That just breaks my heart.

The ones responsible will find out, one day.

It seems some members have forgotten our rules about discussing the personal use of banned substances.

The posts have been removed as "off-topic", where it's typically removed as a T&C violation. Any further discussion of personal use will result in the post beeing removed with a warning and/or a posting ban.

Yes. It's just too bad that it'll be too little, too late.
So incredibly frustrating, this world we live in.

I read this after my response.

Just out of curiosity. Where in your link does it say anything about CURING cancer?

It becomes more priceless when you think about the fact that alcohol use can actually make you brain dead.

Which is not possible with THC..

edit on 5-4-2011 by PureET because: (no reason given)

Alcohol affects motor function, whereas marijuana affects short term memory. It's much easier to overdose on alcohol so I rate that as a much more dangerous drug. That said, if you are using marijuana in a situation where you are supposed to be on top of things you will fail miserably. If you take a small amount of marijuana the result will be as bad as if you take a lot. If you have a few drinks you will not have any trouble.

Dang it! I knew there was a catch. Surprised they haven't done it already.

It INHIBITS cancer growth, as stated in the link. Also the anti-carcinogenic system is boosted by Cannaboides meaning it destroys cancers when activated by the cannaboides.

Please read before you shout.

You sir, are grasping at straws.


Every point you just made, except the thing that overdosing on alcohol is easier, is complete and utter bull (you know what).

You can't overdose on cannabis. You'd pass out before you did, if it was possible anyhow.

Your focus will be enhanced positively, as has been shown in allot of studies, and it is the mindset that makes the dumb, lazy, ADDICT. If you don't have that mindset you won't BE a addict.

People who are like that are already addicts before they even looked at illegal (or legal) substances.

Educate yourself. I won't even begin talking about alcohol, know that this is hard-drug no. 1 in the WORLD

Research.... Research.

What are you on about...?

I made it clear that you don't overdose on cannabis. That was my main point. I made a comparison to alcohol stating alcohol is worse and you reworded my comment in your reply as if you were correcting me, huh? I'm finding this particular topic just a tad too trolled for comfort you know. What will you have me research? Do you honestly think you know more than I do about both drugs? I don't. You are just a pro-marijuana advocate along with many people here and I've gained your ire by making perfectly credible comments that go against your agenda's.

Marijuana is a powerful drug that affects people very badly. Conic users become immune, so the effect isn't as bad as alcoholism, but a few drinks isn't as bad as a small amount of marijuana, which if I were to partake (legally of course) my job would be impossible. A few drinks is just fine. There's more scientific data about marijuana and psychosis than you would like to accept, I'm sure.

Hey. FREE STARS. Join the pro-dope smoking brigade, masked under "medical purposes only" and make a few snide, flippant remarks against my comments. You'll score plenty. Keep preaching to the converted.

I've seen the good and bad in both cases, but as the designated scapegoat whatever moderate and realistic account I give will be taken out of context (yes it does make you stupid - if you have to organise a tight itinerary). Moderator do you plan to delete my post with a severe infringement again?

Just don't tell me that marijuana is harmless. Don't put words in my mouth in case that's where you're headed. Do whatever you can if you have a chronic illness, but for those of us who want to remain useful to society, marijuana is OUT.

Don't be dopey, kids.

I don't see how that compares at all, but anyway alcohol is definitely far worse then the debated plant.

Since 1900, alcohol has claimed more then 222 million lives. And by that has wrecked many families and businesses.

You brought up the alcohol subject, I'll have a go with you then.
