Without copying and pasting the entire article, it has been researched and documented that THC, the active ingredient in cannabis, helps to stop the spread of breast, lung and forms of skin cancer.

The article (link below) details the physiological process which starts the development of tumors, and how cannabis stops this growth.

This knowledge has been out there for a long time, but main-stream media does not want you to know it...there are hegemonic links between the media and pharmaceudical companies.

I doubt it stops the spreading of cancer cells. It's not a cure. Most people use it for medical purposes such as pain management.

And you're basing that doubt on what exactly?

it's actually a nice looking rockery plant

Yes, I have.

It's all those "they don't want you to know" revelations that I find funny in general

I smoke it because I enjoy it, same thing goes for drankin'...

IF it happens to minimize my risk of cancer in the process... hooray for me

marijuana itself can be carcinogenic.

The smoke is carcinogenic, not the cannabis itself. That´s why some people prefer vaporizing it because the vapors are not carcinogenic....but good vaporizers are very pricey.

sweet!

What about Linda McCartney?

Though she might have caught cancer from her diet. You know. She was a vegetarian

WOW! I was thinking tho, can it be used as a tea? I'm all for that! :tasty:

And yours is based on ONE article. Not very scientific either. And this anti-cannabis propaganda thing, it might be still occuring, but would it be if it really worked? If there was a cure for cancer, why would the governments hide it from us?
All those conspiracy theories make me mad. Like Prince, with his chemtrails To all those who believe this BS: governments are representing us, they don't want us dead.

So, why your almighty drug didn't help him to cure the cancer?

i never claimed to believe the statement made

i just had to point out that your comment about Bob Marley was bs

I think you missed out on the smoke being carcinogenic part.

How is it supposed to cure cancer if the cannabis smoke itself is highly carcinogenic?

( I know you didn´t want to endorse it in the first place but I´m just trying to understand your train of thought here).

Every form of smoke is carcinogenic, whether it´s tobacco smoke, cannabis smoke or barbecue smoke. Smoke is carcinogenic, not THC.

I don´t want to endorse smoking cannabis here ( ) but, healthwise, there is a huge difference between smoking it, vaporizing it or eating and drinking it.

I don´t know why and how Bob Marley got cancer but it´s a safe bet to say that smoking cannabis is not really the best thing to do when you already have cancer, regardless of the kind of cancer you have.

Smoking seriously affects your immune system, and THC also affects your immune system, especially when you smoke it.

However, this does not mean that THC doesn´t have any benefits and also does not mean that THC is bad per se.

There are many pros and cons to consider regarding cannabis and THC. It can kill your ambitions and trigger psychosis in people who are prone to schizophrenia, and, as I said, the smoke itself is bad for you but that doesn´t mean that it can´t be beneficial for asthmatic people, or people with glaucoma or people going through chemotherapy. Or for people who just want to unwind and relax.

However, one also should not downplay the dangers of it and I´m strongly against teenagers using it before their brains are fully developed.
