Marijuana & Cancer

Medical marijuana does a lot more than just enable people to eat when they don't want to. Research now shows that marijuana's active ingredient, THC, or tetrahydrocannabinol, blocks a known cancer-related protein that's already the target of drugs such as ImClone System Inc.'s Erbitux and Amgen Inc.'s Vectibix.

@stevostevie I wonder. If every single person started smoking weed, could they arrest everybody? This could be the nations stand against the government

@pyramidheadkitten9 I don't believe Cannabis makes you lazy. As a matter of fact, I think we'd be more concerned about more important things on our own soil if everyone consumed the herb.

@pyramidheadkitten9 The statement you made here is Total BULLSHIT. Do some research, it's not smoking it that cures, it's the oil from it. Injesting that oil does in fact kill cancers. Watch Rick Simpsons "Run From The Cure and educate yourself. Kills me when people who have no fucking clue try and tell others that it doesn't work. Maybe someday you or someone you love will get cancer, bet you change your tune. Good luck man.

@pyramidheadkitten9 no one is saying smoked weed cures cancer buddy. we are saying that if you take pills of all the extracted canabanoids not just THC. Over 1 to 2 months you can effectively stop the cancer several people have done it look it up the research that's published is pathetic, compared to what people have done with just the plants natural oils. Don't you thinks that there might be a chance that is why thc can help slow cancer growth in lab rodents.

@Dvenceshaus2 not really. weed can still fuck your lungs up and its even been linked to causing the development of schizophrenia. i think all drugs should be legalized, but i dont think any sorts of drugs are healthy for you, including weed.

[pyramidheadkitten9]

ive noticed alot of people saying that weed will cure cancer. let me make this clear to all of you, that is complete and utter bullshit. THC can help slow cancer, but only when injected into lab mice. smoking it wont do anything. smoking anything, whether its weed or tobacco, just isnt healthy for you. period.

@bangmeister if everybody was smoking weed, none of us would do anything and our economy would collapse, destroying out nation.

the USA's 'war on stoner's' has gone on long enough...in the USA you are given RIGHTS of LIFE, LIBERTY, AND THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS and religious freedoms which are both taken away by the war on stoner's policy. they make using things that make you feel liberty and God with illegal....let alone the fact that they make you into a criminal when all we want to do is be able to smoke a j or ingest what will make us right for today so we can be happy..
