Anonymous Coward User ID: 1544701 United States 12/05/2012 04:23 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | This is the most ridiculous thing I've heard all week. Marijuana does not cure cancer. Yea it's a plant. Yea it should be legal. Yea its not physically addictive. But no, it does not cure cancer. I'm sick of people acting like it's some kind of medical panacea that can cure everything like a wonder drug. I'm a believer in traditional Chinese medicine, and chronic marijuana use has many adverse affects. Very occasional use has some mental benefits, but there is nothing it can cure. They had the most complex and complete understanding of the human body that any culture has ever had, and if marijuana could cure cancer, believe me, they would have realized it. We now have everyone going overboard with the legalization argument. I don't believe we have to pretend marijuana has health benefits to legalize it. I think it should just be legal because this is supposed to be a free country. But I'm not under any delusions that it cures cancer. There's plenty of alternative, non-chemo cures of cancer that work, such a acupuncture and herbs (formulated by a medical doctor with years of training). This is why acupuncture gets a bad rap. Now I remember why I hate hippies. |
Accidental Stoner User ID: 27692959 Finland 12/05/2012 04:34 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Thanks for posting this, I wish more people knew about the health benefits of it (besides just the high)! Quoting: MissionInvisible You don't have to smoke it to get the benefits...cannabis oil can work all kinds of wonders from what I've read! Oil extracted from the flowerbuds and small leaves is specifically what works. (Very easily done at home, with - for instance - acetone. Over here, acetone is about 8€ per litre. The ganja itself grows for free.) In the words of Mr Rick Simpson: - You can smoke it 'til the cows come home, but that won't cure cancer. Bloody fascinating, how the stone that the builder refused is turning the head corner stone before our very eyes. The global cannabis prohibition is the absolute best political thinking machine ever made available to the masses. The cat is out of the bag. TPTB are going to have to take away the free internet. But chances are it's too late already. We The People need to demand legalization in the form of totally free home-growing. Anything else = Monsanto, Pioneer, Syngenta... Not that I personally ask bloody anybody, what I can or can't grow in my own yard. |

Marijuana does not cure cancer. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1544701 So Marijuana does not cure cancer....But periwinkle does? Periwinkle [link to www.livingrainforest.org] "This pretty plant from Madagascar gives us two very important cancer-fighting medicines: vinblastine and vincristine. Vinblastine has helped increase the chance of surviving childhood leukaemia from 10% to 95%, while vincristine is used to treat Hodgkins’ Disease.

No surprise there: [link to www.eolss.net] The only difference between cannabis and periwinkle and the 3,000 other plants that have cancer treating properties is that research into cannabis has been blocked. Otherwise we would've been using it for brain and liver cancers for years, if not decades. The only thing "special" about cannabis, is that we made such a useful plant illegal for such stupid reasons. [link to blog.norml.org] "It’s the ‘Catch-22’ that has plagued medical marijuana advocates and patients for decades. Lawmakers and health regulators demand clinical studies on the safety and efficacy of medical cannabis, but the federal agency in charge of such research bars these investigations from ever taking place.

"According to Chinese legend, the emperor Shen Nung (circa 2700 B.C.; also known as Chen Nung) discovered marijuana's healing properties as well as those of two other mainstays of Chinese herbal medicine, ginseng and ephedra. In a compendium of drug recipes compiled in 1 A.D., based on traditions from the time of Shen Nung, marijuana is depicted as an ideogram of plants drying in a shed (see Figure 2.1). This ancient text, which is considered to be the world's oldest pharmacopoeia, recommends marijuana for more than 100 ailments, including gout, rheumatism, malaria, and absentmindedness. Centuries later a Chinese medical text (1578 A.D.) described the use of marijuana to treat vomiting, parasitic infections, and hemorrhage. Marijuana continues to be used in China as a folk remedy for diarrhea and dysentery and to stimulate the appetite.2" [link to www.nap.edu] [link to druglibrary.org] Since the Chinese medicine defined cancer by its symptoms, not as "cancer" like we do in the West, and vomiting is the primary symptom of brain cancer, they did indeed recommend cannabis for for brain cancer.

The entire industry will collapse ... so the reason why we haven't been made aware of THE CURE is because of ECONOMICS ... one of the BIG CORPS that run this country would be ELIMINATED COMPLETELY ... taking the Pharm Cos with them personally I would rather see everyone on meds - taking MMJ instead of psychotropics, kemo, oxycotton etc etc etc the medical industry has had centuries to prove themselves - so far they haven't cured anything - they treat the symptoms and not the disease ... and they kill more people than they "save" for a life time of DIS-ease and disabiliting DRUGS |
