Marijuana Heals Cancer ...Cannabinoid Receptors In The Human Body

BBC special on Cannabinoid Receptors...below an article by Steve Kubby, Sierra Times ...A new study published in Nature Reviews-Cancer provides an historic and detailed explanation about how THC and natural cannabinoids counteract cancer, but preserve normal cells. It is hard to believe that the knowledge that cannabis can be used to fight cancer has been suppressed for almost thirty years , yet it seems likely that it will continue to be suppressed. Why? According to Cowan, the answer is because it is a threat to cannabis prohibition . "If this article and its predecessors from 2000 and 1974 were the only evidence of the suppression of medical cannabis, then one might perhaps be able to rationalize it in some herniated way. However, there really is massive proof that the suppression of medical cannabis represents the greatest failure of the institutions of a free society, medicine, journalism, science, and our fundamental values," Cowan notes. Millions of people have died horrible deaths and in many cases, families exhausted their savings on dangerous, toxic and expensive drugs. Now we are just beginning to realize that while marijuana has never killed anyone, marijuana prohibition has killed millions.

@TheMrTape THC does kill cancer cells. Again, you don't know what a cancer cell is. Cancer cells are mutated/damaged cells that ignore the autophagic signals it receives, and it continues to live on without a purpose. Hence the term, "neoplastic". Not to mention, inflammation often accompanies cancers. Case in point! THC kills cancer cells by stimulating the CB receptors on a cancerous cell's surface to induce ceramide that forces the cell to eat itself.

@shootermcgaven7 but it would never stop selling.. it would be as effective as tobacco and alcohol if not better for the economy.

[shootermcgaven7]

@brianrawks123 because it could literally replace thousands of products and remove billions if not, trillions from corporations that rule the world, and because if it were legalized, we would all be able to consciously be "one" with the activation of our pineal glands as a whole. Don't worry, trust the future, it's going to be amazing. Our reality is so amazing I wish ppl would see what i've seen. I know many ppl have, but its definitely not something that you can describe in words. MEDITATE

@GreenFurnNW "THC is created in nature when a plant-produced precursor, a cannabinolic ACID, loses a carboxyl group due to heat and becomes tetrahydrocannabinol" I should also mention if you didn't know it already that when we eat cannabis the Delta-9-THC that we all know so well will turn into Delta 11 THC in our stomach which in return are more potent than Delta 9 THC which again could/or should explain the different effect we get when eating it as apposed to smoking.

@thabeest

I just watched a clip on juicing marijuana leaves. You're right. You have done your research. Thanx for the info yo. What does the A stand for in THCA? and CBDA?

[thabeest]

@GreenFurnNW It's not activating them, it's removing the carboxylic group. As I said THC along with CBD are in the plant in it's raw form as THCA and CBDA, those will turn into thc and cbd either by long term storage or you can rush the process by heat as the carboxylic group is very unstable - only needs a little heat for it to be removed. But eat it in raw form without heating will still get you high, you just need about twice as much. I too heat it up before cooking, though.

"Cannabinoid system" god that's amazing.

[Liberto26]

I can't wait till Marijuana is proof positive that it's the cure for cancer. The ultimate legalization argument. It'll be legal before then tho. Paul 2012

(I'm not just a stoner supporting Paul for this policy on illegal substances. Pro-freedom)

I am a stoner tho >_<

[brianrawks123]
