Anything for a buck and they'll even tell you that to your face as your child or loved one dies. [/quote] why are you so sceptical ? there are hundreds of unsolicited testimonies, from people who cured their ills - using cannibis .... what MONEY ... you can grow your own for FREE [/quote] I was talking about the in your face bullshit they spin about having to simulate it. Why fuckin simulate it?!!! God made it already!! [/quote] The are trying to replicate a very specific portion of a chemical compound. One which could be easily replicated on a mass scale which wouldn't require growing a plant. Why wouldn't they do that? Chemicals are chemicals afterall. [/quote] You're fucking retarded. I know it's not your fault...but you are. Try to comb your hair down over your sloped forehead and wear high collars to hide the fact that you have no neck. If you just keep quiet...no one will ever know. [/quote] Seriously? I try to explain a basic scientific process to you and you come back with this? And coming from a mod?? You should be ashamed. [/quote] I am ashamed to be a member of the same species as you. "Simulating" nature is not only impossible...it's dangerous. Go count the lawsuits there are against the pharmas because of shitheads who believe as you do. It's nothing more than a racket between the gov, doctors and pharma. Accept it...you're dumb and naive. When a white coat with a phd tells you to do anything...you'd just do it without question. [/quote] Well, I appreciate your input, but you do know that there is nothing magical about chemical compounds found in nature versus their [b]replicated[/b] counterparts, right? I'm being very specific in my terminology, but you seem pretty bent on twisting it into something else. Not sure why learning something new is met with such anger from you. [/quote]

NEW research reveals the drug's main psychoactive ingredient - tetrahydrocannabino (THC) - could be responsible for its success in shrinking tumours.
They then targeted the tumours with doses of the cannabis compound and found that two cell receptors in particular were responsible for the drug's
anti-tumour effects
.
So they have done testing (more at link) & yes it does shrink tumors but... we won't let anyone use it until we can find a synthetic (which can then be patented) & they can then earn lots of Pharma $$$$ from
their 'cure'
"Our research uses an isolated chemical compound and using the correct concentration is vital," Dr McCormick said.
"Cancer patients should not use cannabis to self-medicate, but I hope that our research will lead to a safe synthetic equivalent being available in the future."
