One of the great ironies in the debate over marijuana's medical applications is that the drug may prove to be vastly more useful than many marijuana activists even realize. As the U.S. government continues to block medical marijuana research, scientists around the world are discovering new and exciting possibilities:


Investigators at Bar-Ilan University in Israel report that the administration of THC significantly affects the viability of GBM cells. Glioblastoma multiforme, the most aggressive form of glioma (brain cancer), strikes some 7,000 Americans annually, and generally results in death within one to two years following diagnosis.

"THC [is] an essential mediator of cannabinoid antitumoral action," investigators concluded.

  • @finalfantasymovies to view ONE of my favorite PubMed links Google "PubMed", input "18286801". This article originates from Dr. Mechoulam who's been researching Cannabinoids since 1960 - present! Need 100 Cannabinoids vs Cancer PubMed links organized by country, visit my secondary channel "EssiacHempLaetrile2".

  • Shocking that there is this sort of censorship on this kind of information . The Pharma companies have such power. They have a brilliant side...but they are also tyrannous.....oops...I just saw the comment above used the word tyranny...well I was not apeing...me and Jefferson just have that in common. I am wondering how good hemp oil is for one...I have just started taking it daily.

  • @tahthedon your damn right my friend.........

  • depopulation plan, that's why.

  • NCI website states that, "The potential benefits of medicinal Cannabis for people living with cancer include antiemetic effects, appetite stimulation, pain relief, and improved sleep. In the practice of integrative oncology, the health care provider may recommend medicinal Cannabis not only for symptom management but also for its possible direct antitumor effect."

  • We need to wipe away the government induced biased opinion on medical marijuana.

  • I heard that Marijuana doesn't like Cancer! Get that Sucka Mary Jane!

  • @SAMFlSHER40l7 There is no such thing as overdose on weed. There is no such thing as brain damage, because you are tricking your brains, with THC, so they start working like that-it's opposite of what alcohol does to them, by smashing them to get the effect. It's just not right, that things like tobacco, and alcohol is legal to do, when something that safe as pot isn't? What will change if you legalize it? Tax it, regulate it-make it safer, and for those who have 18. Also, put some laws to it.

  • @SAMFlSHER40l7 1 Joint is 1 gram. If you smoke it lately, you will know that after 1 G, you will probably be so stoned to pass out. So in reality, you can smoke 0.2 G to be just high. There is nothing in marijuana, that makes it addictive physically, because there is no such chemical reactions in your brain. It's only addictive because, you smoke it like joint, because smoking is addictive mentally. In other ways, inhaling it, isn't addictive, the feeling also. It's not a drug.
