This guy rocks!

The more research that is done on cannabis, the more it appears to be something that is wholly symbiotic with humanity. If I were to venture a theory, I would say that to me it appears that humanity and cannabis evolved together throughout the millenia and that, by God or by evolution, we are supposed to have and use it. The fact that it has so many uses beyond helping to relieve stress and pain is indicative of this. Cannabis and hemp must be legalized! WAKE UP AMERICA!!

THC (Cannabinoid) achieves this wizardry by binding to protein receptors on a cancerous cell's surface. Once attached 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.

@bushiyo2 Ok. To start out with, I wasn't hating. In fact, I was completely calm and rational in my comment. Also, by comparing the two, you were implying that they fell in the same category, which they obviously do not. So apparently, you missed my entire point. Maybe you only read the first three words. Who knows? Whatever the case, I guess you're just an idiot, thx for the emphasis , fucking retard.. gtfo with your lame hating-ass.

[bushiyo2]

@MrBradshawbenjamin Never said they were the same, thx for the emphasis , fucking retard.. gtfo with your lame hating-ass

[MrBradshawbenjamin]

@bushiyo2 They're different things. They show you different things. If you live in a room, DMT can allow you to exit a door to another realm for a few minutes, and THC can allow you to paint your whatever color you want to live your life better. It's like TV and pasta. Both great, but not the same.

forbidden fruit by god??? lol

[TheFrigginAwesome]

raw THC makes you depressed, but THC with cannabanoids, makes you feel happy, aka makes you feel the same as when ur smoking weed

[bushiyo2]

DMT > THC

Basically if you are predisposed to mental disorders such as schizophrenia or dystonia, you might try marijuana and really enjoy the benefits of cannabidiol. It helps them think straight and they might feel more normal "high". They start self medicating regularly. If a doctor steps in he will tell them to stop smoking pot, and puts them on pills. Once they have negative reactions to these pills the doctor will typically scapegoat the pot and say it was the reason behind the psychosis.

@surferlivh the theory is that families that have genetic evidence of schizophrenia have a higher chance of developing it when using cannabis...I don't believe that it can affect it as much as severe mental trauma, but no studies have really been made relating the two.

@OfficialAbel weird thing is it has already. Cannabis oils can cure skin cancer. It's already cured people with skin cancer, and tumors... It's shocking really.
