Cannabis Cures Cancer

cannabis is the key to everything.. dig deep...cannibis saves lives in all instances of existence

 

A cut and paste from a post in another thread I made this morning, but it belongs here too. There is a bulldozer of truth and evidence at work here.

...anyhow the evidence is strong and continues to mount that THC kills cancer not just in vitro but in actual humans and lab animals, but only most notably in doses much stronger than one might get from smoking it.

Below is one of my favorite recent science articals on the subject, although I am sure that there are even better references within this website.

Here is an excerpt from the story:

Cannabis versus cancer

With or without CBD, cannabis may someday do more for cancer patients than relieve pain and nausea. New research suggests THC may be lethal to tumors themselves.
Biochemists Guillermo Velasco and Manuel Guzmán of Complutense University in Madrid have spent more than a decade establishing in lab-dish and animal tests that THC can kill cancer of the brain, skin and pancreas.

THC ignites programmed suicide in some cancerous cells, the researchers reported in 2009 in the Journal of Clinical Investigation. The team's previous work showed that THC sabotages the process by which a tumor hastily forms a netting of blood vessels to nourish itself, and also keeps cancer cells from moving around.

THC achieves this wizardry by binding to protein receptors on a cancerous cell's surface. Once attached, the THC induces the cell to make a fatty substance called ceramide, which prompts the cell to start devouring itself. “We see programmed cell death,” Velasco says. What's more, noncancerous cells don't make ceramide when they come into contact with THC. The healthy cells don't die.

Many compounds kill cancer in a test tube and even in animals, but most prove useless because they cause side effects or just don't work in people. The Madrid team is now seeking funding to test whether cannabis derivatives can kill tumors in cancer patients.

In an early trial of nine brain cancer patients whose disease had worsened despite standard therapy, the scientists found that THC injections into tumors were safe to give.
Early reports from other research groups suggest that THC also fights breast cancer and leukemia. “I think the cancer research is extremely promising,” Russo says. “Heretofore, the model for cancer was to use an agent that's extremely toxic to kill the cancer before it kills you. With cannabinoids, we have an opportunity to use agents that are selectively toxic to cancer cells.”

 

i love weed

 

hey bro me and you are a lot alike

 

Awesome

 

In future years, if technological society survives (I hope not because it is allowing the powerful to enslave us on the whole), the control of the ends of the DNA called telomeres will be perfected and a persons biological clock will be able to be halted or reversed. However the supposed "immortality" will be quickly threated by cancer. The only way to make the person semi-immortal then will be to maintain the telomere conditioning, plus use the only effective and practical long term cancer fighter (now) known, namely THC.

smoke your joint child.... uh, I mean great great grandfather

(I kind of doubt it will all come together for any but a few. Individuals fear and avoid death, but death is vital to any community of organisims in order to maintain the all important... flexibility. If computers become "alive" then it will really suck for us humans... as in The Terminator)

 

God forbid man...
