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.

False, both Delta-9-THC and CBD kills cancer cells. Do some research:

For THC -

Originally, Teresa said cannabis is the safest anti-emetic medication on the planet, especially for pregnant mothers. I pointed out that it's not safer than other anti-emetic medications.

That's about it.

safER than WHAT?

[Teresa Claffey]

Precisely.

You're correct.

Even if marijuana is not toxic in of itself, a developing brain is undergoing changes that are very delicate. A psychoactive drug can change the course of development, and therefore disrupt the natural developmental process.

It's not safer for the fetus, I'm afraid.

Compared to mothers who didn't smoke cannabis while pregnant, the children of the mothers who did smoke cannabis while pregnant performed worse on cognitive tests. Sources: PMID: 18216735 , PMID: 21884785

For more information concerning how cannabis could impact the wieght of newborns, then Google the following: PMID: 20628142 , PMID: 15734273

Pick your battles, Teresa. I can tell you that the cannabis and newborns issue is a debate we will lose.

[Teresa Claffey]

Can I just say that it is the safest anti- nausea medicine in the planet with the LEAST AMOUNT OF HARM TO THE FETUS FACT If a woman can not nourish her child how should it thrive, A woman must weigh the two evils as with any nausea medicine.
