This article gives some new insight into what cancer actually is, and what it isn't. http://edition.cnn.com/2013/07/30/health/cancer-overdiagnosis-overtreatment/index.html?sr=sharebar_facebook Who knows, maybe pot can cure some cancer.... but according to this article, diseases, including the so called, "cancer," should be allowed to run their course, which would mean avoiding chemotherapy and radiation. I thought it was an interesting article. =)
Marijuana was never meant to cure cancer. When cancer patients are prescribed marijuana, it is for pain relief of chemo and radiation. Thought you should know
cnn in the link already places in in the discredited pile.....hell CNN is against medical science and wants you to let those diseases kill ya if god wont cure ya...
Quite the opposite, Patients can get on a 1g/day regime of potent, decarboxylated oil and usually a 60 day, 60g treatment is enough to treat most internal cancers and followed by daily maintenance doses to help recover/stay healthy. Read up a bit more before trying to sound so confident
Yep i know a great man who donates half his oil to cancer patients. Hes a boss forsure. Sent from my Desire HD using Grasscity Forum mobile app
It's surprising how many people still think that marijuana doesn't cure cancer... Just an FYI, there are new studies that show the effectiveness of cannabis oil as a cure for cancer. It's not just a myth spread around by a bunch of stoners who want weed legalized, it's becoming a new truth. Enough said, continued ignorance is now a choice. lol =)
Cannbis oil cures/helps it. Smoking it helps with tumors. I feel like half of this community tries to discredit the marijuana movement.. WHatever
Did that article even mention marijuana? Where did you pull the statement "Medical marijuana does not cure cancer," out of?

How about you read the article yourself, and you tell me what it says, instead? lol It was merely a thread starter, and a personal hypothesis. don't flame me for it... okay, go ahead, flame me for it, because people are going to believe what they want to beleive anyways. Psst... I think your ego is showing I am very familar with your list, I have been a fan of it for many years now. I'm just trying to start a conversation by presenting controversial ideas.
so you believe that cancer like other diseases should run its course?? even if theres a way to treat it AND CURE IT without that treatment causing debilitating repercussions??
there are enough bullshit sources on the internet to back up any position... i dont trust any of them when each 50% disagree with each other
OP, wtf are you talking about? Go back to high school or your local CC and tell them you need reading comprehension.
Just read the article. You are missing the entire point of it. It doesn't state that all cancers should be allowed to fully run their course. It's main intent is that not all initial indications of cancer should be immediately treated. It's stating that Drs. and patients need to calm down and wait to determine if that particular indication eventually needs treatment.
