  • Love Lester but he is incorrect in saying that there is 'no' evidence to suggest that cannabis cures cancer. The National Cancer Institute has shown that it can cause apoptosis, the reprogramming of cancer cells to die.

  • @IndicaDreaming That is in vitro evidence that you can induce apoptosis by directly attacking cancer cells with direct THC. Evidence that it cures cancer in humans is what he is referring to.

  • What did he say at 7:50 about a spray anyone can get?

  • 83 years young.

  • It's time for the silent majority to start making some noise!

  • I've tried Dr. Grinspoon in Barneys, on Harlemestraat, Amsterdam. 100% sativa. My favorite breed that exists. 100 days flowering!! cost €16 a gram.

  • @OnlyHempFuture Actually smoking cannabis heals a lot of things. Search CannabisCureUK. His name is Greg and mainly only smokes and his Crohns disease much better for it.

  • Now you know why Carl was so kool and in touch, l still cant believe he has left us.

    Rip. Carl Sagan.

  • Smoking Cannabis does not Heal anything - Digesting the Cannabis Oil Heals Everything, including Leukemia.

  • He's just not very well informed on the Cancer thing.

    THC repairs damaged cells and protects healthy ones.

    How is that not anti-cancer. What, did I miss something?
