Its all about these two plants!

Exhibit B:

Cannabis/Marijuana ( Cannabis sativa,Cannabis indica and Cannabis ruderalis)

Cannabis sativa,[2] Cannabis indica and Cannabis
ruderalis

Cannabinoids may cause antitumor effects by various mechanisms, including induction of cell death, inhibition of cell growth, and inhibition of tumor angiogenesis invasion and metastasis.[9-12] Two reviews summarize the molecular mechanisms of action of cannabinoids as antitumor agents.[13,14] Cannabinoids appear to kill tumor cells but do not affect their nontransformed counterparts and may even protect them from cell death. These compounds have been shown to induce apoptosis in glioma cells in culture and induce regression of glioma tumors in mice and rats. Cannabinoids protect normal glial cells of astroglial and oligodendroglial lineages from apoptosis mediated by the CB1 receptor.

Government agencies and politicians like to attribute thousands of deaths and cancers due to "cannabis" each year, but a quick look at the facts reveals that these deaths are caused by smoking the plant along with tobacco in a joint.




Legal Status . Cannabis remains a Schedule I substance under federal law as of 2014

You see one plant cures the problems of the other. But ironically the powers that be are very butthurt about the revelation presumably because THEY WANT YOU DEAD. Or they want to make billions of dollars from your illness.
