Did you know that new research shows that marijuana actually kills cancer cells... rather than creating them?

Did you know that marijuana kills cancer cells? It actually causes them to eat themselves in a process called "autophage".

Also, instead of killing brain cells, studies show it actually promotes the growth of new brain cells?

Did you know the government knew about it in 1974?

Did you know that the cannabinoid receptor is the most prevalent cellular receptor in our brains?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cannabinoid_receptor

This mystery began to unravel in 1964, when tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC, the main psychoactive chemical in cannabis was isolated and synthesized by Raphael Mechoulam and colleagues in Israel. Subsequently, in 1988, Allyn Howlett and colleagues discovered the cannabinoid receptor in the brain. This receptor called CB1was a precise match for the unique chemicals called cannabinoids found in the cannabis plant (phytocannabinoids). This initial discovery led to scientists hypothesizing that humans are "wired" for cannabis. The CB1receptors have been found in the brain in areas that control the coordination of movement, emotions, memory, reduction of pain, reward systems, and reproduction, yet are almost absent in the brain stem (which affects our vital functions such as breathing). It appears that cannabinoid receptors, which modulate other neurotransmitter function in a retrograde “on demand” fashion are present in far higher concentrations in the brain than any other receptor. While the CB1 receptors are primarily found in the central nervous system, a second type, CB2, discovered in 1993, are found primarily in the immune system, GI tract, liver, spleen, kidney, bones, heart, and peripheral nervous system. In fact, the CB2 receptor appears to be up-regulated whenever there is tissue pathology.

What do you think about this?

Did the government know?

What do you think about that?

Did you know that the government actually has the patent on medical marijuana... for use in fighting diseases such as cancer, Crohn's disease, multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer's disease and more?

And yet they repeatedly say that there is "no medical use" for marijuana.

Look it up. U.S. Patent #6630507

It's like a MIRACLE DRUG because the endocannabinoid system in your body controls so much chemically... by stimulating this system, many positive effects can occur in many different organs of the body.

If you don’t believe me, check out the studies at www.pubmed.gov … just type “cannabinoids” and “cancer” in the search bar and you’ll see the results of the HUNDREDS of studies that show that the THC in marijuana actually kills cancer cells, both in human tissue cultures and in animals. But… they won’t let us do studies on humans because mj has been labeled the “devil’s weed”. HA!

But there is plenty of anecdotal evidence. (People who didn't want to wait on the government to legalize medical marijuana to help with their illness. We've been waiting over 40 years, after all.) I have been in correspondence with the head of the biology dept at a major university in Colorado, and he's knows people personally who have used super-concentrated cannabis oil to CURE their cancer.His own girlfriend got rid of her skin cancer completely applying cannabis oil topically. You can also find video diaries on the internet of people who have gotten rid of skin cancer using cannabis oil. Also video diaries of people who have had miraculous healing of 3rd degree burns. One video diary I found had an AIDS patient who was ingesting the oil and cut his T-cell count from over 800 to around 400 in just a few weeks.

Rick Simpson has cured hundreds of people over the last few years and has plenty of written and videoed testimony. Google "Run from the Cure".

Update:

Aaron,

Marijuana doesn't cause ANY bad, as you put it.

Zero deaths every year are attributed solely to marijuana.

It doesn't even increase your risk of lung cancer by smoking it... they can't even find a higher incidence of lung cancer even in chronic mj smokers... the anti-cancer effects of the drug overpower the fact that you are taking in carcinogens by smoking a leaf.

    The fact is that people have been brain-washed into thinking that the herb is bad for you, it only became bad around the 1930's by the Billionaires in America,the oil baron's,paper baron's and such like, they seen that if the products that you could get from cannabis took hold they would LITERALLY lose a LOT of money,they got together and formulated a plan which they put to the Gov't, you look at the old films from America at the time in the theatre's, they advertised cannabis as the "devil's weed",(hence the word "weed"),and blamed all the teenage problems on it, 1937 is when they made it illegal.As usual America has FORCED it's will on others. The list of things you can get from cannabis is too long to put here. Did you also know that cannabis before the strains got mutilated by greed, that nothing else on this Planet has DNA like it, makes you think of the Bible, and the Tree of Knowledge, that's another reason why Gov'ts banned it, they didn't WANT you to think, if you don't think they have more control over you. That is just the VERY basics of why we have the situation we have.

    yes it is for those specific problems but it also causes much more bad than good
