    Obviously you are quite passionate about this. All experience leads to wisdom. There are many tools in the toolbox for us to use. One needs to be wary of using the helpful tools until they become crutches.

    Indeed! That's one of the beautiful features of our situation here on earth; No matter who you are, or where you are on the planet, it is made certain that everyone has some sort of "wisdom-bringer" at their disposal, should they choose to utilize it. Some may have access to a good monastery, church, mystery school, etc., some may have an accident or trauma that elevates the state of consciousness, some have access to consciousness-expanding "drugs", some may meet a mr. holy-man-saint-swami-guru. Each and every way is valid; just different flavors for different people.
    Quote One needs to be wary of using the helpful tools until they become crutches.
    Fortunately, this is no problem. It's kind of like saying that meditation can be come a crutch. Both are just different ways of accessing higher realms of being, neither superior or inferior to the other, both equal, just different.

    Default Marijuana Cuts Tumor Growth by 50%

    The active ingredient in marijuana cuts tumor growth in common lung cancer in half and significantly reduces the ability of the cancer to spread, say researchers at Harvard University who tested the chemical in both lab and mouse studies.

    They say this is the first set of experiments to show that the compound, Delta-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), inhibits EGF-induced growth and migration in epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) expressing non-small cell lung cancer cell lines. Lung cancers that over-express EGFR are usually highly aggressive and resistant to chemotherapy.

    THC that targets cannabinoid receptors CB1 and CB2 is similar in function to endocannabinoids, which are cannabinoids that are naturally produced in the body and activate these receptors. The researchers suggest that THC or other designer agents that activate these receptors might be used in a targeted fashion to treat lung cancer.

    "The beauty of this study is that we are showing that a substance of abuse, if used prudently, may offer a new road to therapy against lung cancer," said Anju Preet, Ph.D., a researcher in the Division of Experimental Medicine.

    Post What Big Pharma Doesn't Want You To Know About CANNABIS, the cure for Cancer!!!

    Hello Everyone,

    Well, let me quote Rick Simpson on this one, since it is his documentary who could explain better what this is about!!!

    Quote My name is Rick Simpson. I have been providing people with Hemp Oil medicines, at no cost, for about three years. The results have been nothing short of amazing. Throughout man's history hemp has always been known as the most medicinal plant in the world. Even with this knowledge, hemp has always been used as a political and religious football. I want this knowledge out there for everyone to learn! Watch the documentary Run From The Cure to understand more about using cannabis as a cure for cancer and other medical problems!
    The current restrictions against hemp were put in place and maintained, not because hemp is evil or harmful, but for big money to make more big money, while we suffer and die needlessly. Look at a proposal such as this; if we were allowed to grow hemp in our back yards and cure our own illnesses, what do you think the reaction of the pharmaceutical industry would be to such a plan?

    Many large pharmaceutical companies that still exist today sold hemp based medicines in the 1800's and early 1900's. They knew then what I have recently found out. Hemp oil if produced properly is a cure-all that the pharmaceutical industry can't patent.
    Now, Enjoy the film.......Click Here!!!

    Blessings,

    Is benefit derived from smoking it or is there need to ingest just the oil extract? Not advocating smoking, just curious.

    The link in the OP didn't work for me, so here's a link to the same video on youtube in case anyone else encounters the same difficulty: https://youtube.com/watch?v=pjhT9282-Tw
    There are other videos on this topic there too.

    The Hemp plant is truly amazing and has so many benefits and uses, it's a tragedy that it is banned....but, of course, it's because it is so beneficial in so many ways that it has been banned.

    No benefit to smoking as far as curing cancer....it must be ingested in oil for the size of a grain of rice, 3 times a day for 2-3 months. Cures any form of cancer, and has Dr.'s baffled!

    Thanks for the alternative, maybe you can't watch because is a divx movie and you just have to DL the plug-in for divx player at the bottom of the page.

    Yes, the hemp plant is the most useful plant on the planet, period. Many are too naive to realize that they have been fooled for over 70 years now and it's time to wake up!!!....People need to look at the history of this great plant and understand all it's amazing uses, a great book to read is "The Emperor Wears No Clothes" by Jack Herer which is available in the FTP is anyone is interested, also I have tons of documentaries and books on everything anyone may want to know about cannabis.

    Thanks for the advice about the video!

    Yes, a lifting of the restriction on hemp cultivation would help the world SO much.

    Have you seen the video about Mme. France Perrier in France who is making houses from bricks made from hemp and lime, which is stronger and lighter than concrete? Apparently she's currently making about 300 houses a year, restricted only by the regulations which limit the amount of hemp she can produce. Here's a vid: https://youtube.com/watch?v=wRtDh6YUt-0

    It's heartbreaking that this plant is banned.

    I'll definitely check out the book.

    Alcohol has been described as "a second-rate drug and a first-rate poison". I consider the same true of marijuana. What about all its adverse effects, particularly on short-term memory? It might have some value in the treatment of cancer, but this doesn't justify its use as a recreational drug. (Disclaimer: I drink very little alcohol and have never smoked tobacco or pot.)

    I respect your point of view, but on what basis you make the accusations that Cannabis is "First-Rate Poison"?......is it just based on the article you are pointing to above, that was written by "The American Council for Drug Education" which is a government agency and sponsored by Big Pharma themselves. I mean no disrespect, but before you begin making such statements you must first educate yourself on the subject, specially on the history of cannabis and the reasons for which it became illegal.

    Since you presented your article above, now I'm going to show you mines so you can get a grasp on why cannabis is the best medicinal plant on the planet and why now 15 States in the United States have legalize it....see here! and here! and also here!!!

    Now here's a list of SOME of the diseases it treats.......

    I am really sorry to hear how this terrible thing happened to you, but I'm also glad to hear that you medicated your pains with cannabis (all natural) and maybe because of that you're not one of the millions of people suffering from pharmaceutical side effects. Tho I have to disagree on one thing and that is that I see cannabis being legal withing the next 10 years!.....Besides, I will never allow the government or anyone tell me how I should medicate myself.

    Thanks for all the responses to my post, but I'm still not impressed enough by what Rick Simpson says to risk exposing my body to THC to cure "cancer", unless every other avenue was exhausted.

    One of the basic principles of the medical profession is that of primum non nocere, which translates as "your first obligation is not to do any harm", i.e., to make the disease worse than it was beforehand. This is because, statistically, the risk of doing harm by trying something new is usually greater than the possibility of doing good, unless one knows what one's doing.

    In the light of this, Rick Simpson's anecdotal results seem more like happy accidents than serious research. Here are some quotes from Yahoo! Answers:
    Quote Can hemp oil cure cancer?
    There has been a video circulating around the internet about a guy who claims that hemp oil can cure cancer. It sounds idiotic to me but I was wondering what other people think. Here is the video:

    Best Answer - Chosen by Voters
    This time instead of just saying no, I decided to watch it. And I'm even more convinced that it's rubbish.

    The part I saw was a number of unsubstantiated testimonials - no way of knowing if these people had ever had the conditions they claimed, and certainly no way of knowing if they'd been 'cured'.

    But I'll accept they had those conditions. And as I've had cancer, the ones who'd had cancer were the ones to whom I paid most attention. And you know what? - they'd had conventional treatment too, but had chosen to credit the hemp oil with the improvement in their condition.

    This often happens with alternative treatments - a patient has chemo and feels crap, because chemo makes you feel crap. After the chemo is over, s/he takes some 'alternative' medicine; soon s/he begins to feel better. Well, that's no surprise, you do begin to feel better when chemo is over. But s/he chooses to give the credit for feeling better, and for subsequent improvements in her/his condition, to the unproven alternative rather than to the conventional treatments, which have been rigourously tested and proven in double-blind clinical trials.

    And that's what's happened here.

    I had surgery, chemo and radiotherapy four years ago for an aggressive, advanced cancer; I am fit and well, with no sign of cancer at my last routine check-up. Chemo and rads aren't perfect, far from it; but we know because they have been tested and proven that they save many lives and prolong many others. The cancer patients in the film are fit and well following conventional treatment too.

    And anything that claims to cure everything from cancer to weight problems to insomnia has to be regarded with suspicion at best

    Hemp oil is made from the rope type of the hemp plant and is already available in any health food store and many large grocery store vitamin departments. It contains no THC and is not active pharmacologically.

    What this video is talking about is hash oil made from strong marijuana. If this hash - hemp oil cured cancer then the cancer rate in California and Oregon would already be much lower. This film is one of many that have been made by pro-marijuana activists who are trying to get medical marijuana legalized in more states. While I believe that in certain limited situations medical marijuana certainly has it's place in the Dr's choice of medicinal options I am not sure that all the claims made in this set of videos (which I did not complete watching) are true by any means. A small amount of ingested hash oil would keep most adults plastered to the floor for half a day and I certainly would not want people driving or operating machinery who had been ingesting hash oil.

    Can Cannabis oil really cure colon cancer?

    Hemp oil is a great oil with a great source of Omega-3's and it will cure cancer if used in the right ratio with other raw, unheated, minimally processed oils. But, like I said, just taking the oil is only part of the solution.

    As I understand it, Hemp oil is beneficial because it contains Omega-3's. I am unsure if there are any other added benefits to using hemp oil. You should read Udo Erasmus' book "Fats that heal, fats the kill." That should give you some insight on the use and processing of oils; their importance and their role in healing disease.

    ...did you know that conventionally processed oils are first submerged in Hexane (gasoline) in order to dissolve the shell of the seed?? Or that hydrogenated oils are oils that were reacted with cadmuim, nickel or aluminum??? Of course, it is washed out. But let me ask you this, would you use a safety pin after it fell in an unflushed toilet just because it was 'washed' out??? The fact is that you are consuming an unnecessary amount of cancer-causing hexane in your oils when there are simply better more reasonable options.

    So more importantly, I would like to know what chemicals were used on this cannabis oil and how it was processed before I used it to solve any of my health concerns.

    The evidence is inconclusive.

    There is a body of evidence which shows that cannabis oil cures some cancers; and it certainly relieves the nausea which goes with cancer treatments such as radiation and chemotherapy, as well as alleviating cluster headaches (a particularly vicious and disabling form of migraine headache).

    http://answers.yahoo.com/question/in...9190445AA43j8o
    I agree with these comments. If you ingest hemp oil containing THC, you will be STONED till it wears off - no question about it. Rick fails to mention this. THC is useful to alleviate nausea induced by chemotherapy, also of help in glaucoma, but just as there are many different types of cancer, so there are many different optimum dosages and considerations in treating different conditions. At least the dosage in Big Pharma products has been worked out, so you know what to expect.

    I respect your opinion str8thinker, doesn't mean that I have to agree with it.....but let me just ask you this, How Many People Have Died From The Use Of Cannabis throughout History? Let me help you on this one "0", but don't take my word for it and go find out for yourself!!!

    Quote One of the basic principles of the medical profession is that of primum non nocere, which translates as "your first obligation is not to do any harm", i.e., to make the disease worse than it was beforehand. This is because, statistically, the risk of doing harm by trying something new is usually greater than the possibility of doing good, unless one knows what one's doing.
    This clearly shows me that you never read or saw any of the material I posted above for if you did, you would not have posted this comment "your first obligation is not to do any harm".....Tell me what are they doing to you when they give people Chemo? THEY ARE PUTTING RADIATION IN ONE"S BODY, but that does no harm right? or did you not know that Chemo turns your body into a walking waste land!!!.....cannabis has been used medicinally for thousands of years (look at it's history) and all of the sudden in 1937 someone comes up with ridiculous and false information to make it illegal for the purpose of making money.

    Did you know that 90% of the drugs in the market have not been FDA approved and they give them to the public after only a 90 trial run.....Now tell me how they can possibly know what long term side effect will raise due to the use of the drug. pharmaceuticals kill more people around the world every year then all of the drugs on the planet, alcohol and cigarettes combined and you tell me you rather put that stuff in your body....."More Power to you". The mind control goes deeper than anyone thinks!!!

    Obviously, this person has never watched Rick's Documentary for if they did, this would have been answered for them (again, no basis for their argument)......I can make the oil and I will tell you that the statement above is complete rubbish!!!

    Lester Grinspoon, MD, Emeritus Professor of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School, wrote in a Mar. 1, 2007 editorial in the Boston Globe titled "Marijuana as Wonder Drug":

    "The mountain of accumulated anecdotal evidence that pointed the way to the present [marijuana as treatment for HIV neuropathic pain] and other clinical studies also strongly suggests there are a number of other devastating disorders and symptoms for which marijuana has been used for centuries; they deserve the same kind of careful, methodologically sound research.

    While few such studies have so far been completed, all have lent weight to what medicine already knew but had largely forgotten or ignored: Marijuana is effective at relieving nausea and vomiting, spasticity, appetite loss, certain types of pain, and other debilitating symptoms. And it is extraordinarily safe -- safer than most medicines prescribed every day. If marijuana were a new discovery rather than a well-known substance carrying cultural and political baggage, it would be hailed as a wonder drug."

    Ethan Russo, MD, clinical neurologist, researcher and author, told ProCon.org in a Dec. 17, 2001 email that marijuana might provide relief for the following:

    National Institute of Mental Health's (NIMH) Laboratory of Cellular and Molecular Regulation, IRP, noted on the NIMH website, updated Jan. 25, 2002:

    "Electrophysiological, neurochemical, and behavioral studies have shown that cannabinoids (marijuana-like drugs) suppress pain neurotransmission. [...]

    We think that these results have implications for how cannabinoids may work in chronic pain states. A differential anatomical basis underlying cannabinoid and mu opioid modulation of primary afferent transmission is supported. Whereas mu opioid receptors in spinal cord are associated predominantly with thin-diameter primary afferents, cannabinoid receptors are localized to both thin and coarse diameter fibers.

    These differences may provide a basis for the possibility that cannabinoids may relieve pain when traditional opiate drugs fail."

    10) MARIJUANA USE HAS NO EFFECT ON MORTALITY:
    A massive study of California HMO members funded by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) found marijuana use caused no significant increase in mortality. Tobacco use was associated with increased risk of death. Sidney, S et al. Marijuana Use and Mortality. American Journal of Public Health. Vol. 87 No. 4, April 1997. p. 585-590. Sept. 2002.

    9) HEAVY MARIJUANA USE AS A YOUNG ADULT WON’T RUIN YOUR LIFE:
    Veterans Affairs scientists looked at whether heavy marijuana use as a young adult caused long-term problems later, studying identical twins in which one twin had been a heavy marijuana user for a year or longer but had stopped at least one month before the study, while the second twin had used marijuana no more than five times ever. Marijuana use had no significant impact on physical or mental health care utilization, health-related quality of life, or current socio-demographic characteristics. Eisen SE et al.

Vol. 97 No. 9. p.1083-1086. Sept.
    1997

    8) THE “GATEWAY EFFECT” MAY BE A MIRAGE:
    Marijuana is often called a “gateway drug” by supporters of prohibition, who point to statistical “associations” indicating that persons who use marijuana are more likely to eventually try hard drugs than those who never use marijuana – implying that marijuana use somehow causes hard drug use. But a model developed by RAND Corp. researcher Andrew Morral demonstrates that these associations can be explained “without requiring a gateway effect.” More likely, this federally funded study suggests, some people simply have an underlying propensity to try drugs, and start with what’s most readily available. Morral AR, McCaffrey D and Paddock S. Reassessing the Marijuana Gateway Effect. Addiction. December 2002. p. 1493-1504.

    7) PROHIBITION DOESN’T WORK (PART I):
    The White House had the National Research Council examine the data being gathered about drug use and the effects of U.S. drug policies. NRC concluded, “the nation possesses little information about the effectiveness of current drug policy, especially of drug law enforcement.” And what data exist show “little apparent relationship between severity of sanctions prescribed for drug use and prevalence or frequency of use.” In other words, there is no proof that prohibition – the cornerstone of U.S. drug policy for a century – reduces drug use. National Research Council. Informing America’s Policy on Illegal Drugs: What We Don’t Know Keeps Hurting Us. National Academy Press, 2001. p. 193.

    6) PROHIBITION DOESN’T WORK (PART II):

    DOES PROHIBITION CAUSE THE “GATEWAY EFFECT”?): U.S. and Dutch researchers, supported in part by NIDA, compared marijuana users in San Francisco, where non-medical use remains illegal, to Amsterdam, where adults may possess and purchase small amounts of marijuana from regulated businesses. Looking at such parameters as frequency and quantity of use and age at onset of use, they found no differences except one: Lifetime use of hard drugs was significantly lower in Amsterdam, with its “tolerant” marijuana policies. For example, lifetime crack cocaine use was 4.5 times higher in San Francisco than Amsterdam. Reinarman, C, Cohen, PDA, and Kaal, HL. The Limited Relevance of Drug Policy: Cannabis in Amsterdam and San Francisco. American Journal of Public Health. Vol. 94, No. 5. May 2004. p. 836-842.

    5) OOPS, MARIJUANA MAY PREVENT CANCER (PART I):
    Federal researchers implanted several types of cancer, including leukemia and lung cancers, in mice, then treated them with cannabinoids (unique, active components found in marijuana). THC and other cannabinoids shrank tumors and increased the mice’s lifespans. Munson, AE et al. Antineoplastic Activity of Cannabinoids. Journal of the National Cancer Institute. Sept. 1975. p. 597-602.

    4) OOPS, MARIJUANA MAY PREVENT CANCER, (PART II):
    In a 1994 study the government tried to suppress, federal researchers gave mice and rats massive doses of THC, looking for cancers or other signs of toxicity. The rodents given THC lived longer and had fewer cancers, “in a dose-dependent manner” (i.e. the more THC they got, the fewer tumors). NTP Technical Report On The Toxicology And Carcinogenesis Studies Of 1-Trans- Delta-9-Tetrahydrocannabinol, CAS No. 1972-08-3, In F344/N Rats And B6C3F Mice, Gavage Studies. See also, “Medical Marijuana: Unpublished Federal Study Found THC-Treated Rats Lived Longer, Had Less Cancer,” AIDS Treatment News no. 263, Jan. 17, 1997.

    3) OOPS, MARIJUANA MAY PREVENT CANCER (PART III):
    Researchers at the Kaiser-Permanente HMO, funded by NIDA, followed 65,000 patients for nearly a decade, comparing cancer rates among non-smokers, tobacco smokers, and marijuana smokers. Tobacco smokers had massively higher rates of lung cancer and other cancers. Marijuana smokers who didn’t also use tobacco had no increase in risk of tobacco-related cancers or of cancer risk overall. In fact their rates of lung and most other cancers were slightly lower than non-smokers, though the difference did not reach statistical significance. Sidney, S. et al. Marijuana Use and Cancer Incidence (California, United States). Cancer Causes and Control. Vol. 8. Sept. 1997, p. 722-728.

    2) OOPS, MARIJUANA MAY PREVENT CANCER (PART IV):

    Donald Tashkin, a UCLA researcher whose work is funded by NIDA, did a case-control study comparing 1,200 patients with lung, head and neck cancers to a matched group with no cancer. Even the heaviest marijuana smokers had no increased risk of cancer, and had somewhat lower cancer risk than non-smokers (tobacco smokers had a 20-fold increased lung cancer risk). Tashkin D. Marijuana Use and Lung Cancer: Results of a Case-Control Study. American Thoracic Society International Conference. May 23, 2006.

    1) MARIJUANA DOES HAVE MEDICAL VALUE:
    In response to passage of California’s medical marijuana law, the White House had the Institute of Medicine (IOM) review the data on marijuana’s medical benefits and risks. The IOM concluded, “Nausea, appetite loss, pain and anxiety are all afflictions of wasting, and all can be mitigated by marijuana.” While noting potential risks of smoking, the report added, “we acknowledge that there is no clear alternative for people suffering from chronic conditions that might be relieved by smoking marijuana, such as pain or AIDS wasting.” The government’s refusal to acknowledge this finding caused co-author John A. Benson to tell the New York Times that the government “loves to ignore our report … they would rather it never happened.” Joy, JE, Watson, SJ, and Benson, JA. Marijuana and Medicine: Assessing the Science Base. National Academy Press. 1999. p. 159. See also, Harris, G. FDA Dismisses Medical Benefit From Marijuana. New York Times. Apr. 21, 2006
    But I guess the above it's Non-Sense Right?


    Quote I agree with these comments. If you ingest hemp oil containing THC, you will be STONED till it wears off - no question about it. Fred fails to mention this. THC is useful to alleviate nausea induced by chemotherapy, also of help in glaucoma, but just as there are many different types of cancer, so there are many different optimum dosages and considerations in treating different conditions. At least the dosage in Big Pharma products has been worked out, so you know what to expect.
    It is your decision and it must be respected, but it is not wise of you to make certain assumptions about the subject without first fully educating yourself for people will take those and run with it and therefore prevents them from really knowing the truth!!!

    This subject is just like any other we try to discuss here, where one person hears something from someone else and then they fully entrust and believe it without doing their own research and it is a sad thing to see!!!

    Quote At least the dosage in Big Pharma products has been worked out, so you know what to expect.
    YES.....DEATH!!! Remember that Big Pharma only treats the disease, they don't cure it.

    PS
    Just so you are better informed, what causes cancer to disappear is not the THC, it's the CBD (Cannabidiol) and CBN (Cannabinol) that treats the disease, but I guess you already knew that didn't you?.....Again, I mean no disrespect but I'm very passionate about this and I will not allowed people to be misinformed by others when they have not done 1 once of research!!!

    Default Re: What Big Pharma Doesn't Want You To Know About CANNABIS, the cure for Cancer!!!

    After 25 years of crushing migraine and every kind of mind-numbing medicine, 3 puffs of mild home-grown took away an attack within minutes. I have repeated the same treatment twice since. It has been so effective, I still am not convinced (wierd I know) that it was the herb. 3 out of 3 aint bad, but lets see what the future holds....

    My best friend had the same migraine problems (it was so bad, that she couldn't even speak and had to be in complete isolation due to noise which intensified the pains) and after using cannabis, it has never been an issue again!!!

    I'm glad that this is working for you also, and trust me "It is the Plant that is Helping you".............good luck!!!

    By the way, the best way to go about it is to grow your own medicine....the stuff you get from other people is CRAP!!!

    I have never smoked or inhaled this substance, but, I have eaten it RAW. The fresh leaf from a 12ft plant melts in your mouth. From research I have done, this plant is one of the most important objects on this planet.

    Thank you, I am most humbled at your comment and it is great that more and more people are realizing it great medicinal value. I never promoted the smoking of it, all I'm trying to do is show it's medicinal value that could be used and extracted from it in other forms. Their leaves are great to chew on when one is experiencing tooth aches (I also chew them from time to time.)
