Did you know that the THC in marijuana kills cancer cells?
Question by Bill S: Did you know that the THC in marijuana kills cancer cells?
Did you know that marijuana kills cancer cells? It actually causes them to eat themselves in a process called “autophage”.
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?

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?
Is it true?
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
No Andy. That’s not all the medical uses they’ve found.

From the article below:
Not only do studies prove that marijuana doesn’t cause certain cancers; they also indicate that, perhaps, marijuana can protect against and treat cancer. In 2005, researchers published work in Mini Reviews in Medicinal Chemistry, asserting that marijuana has an anticancer effect, as the cannabinoids it contains can contribute to the death of cancerous cells, inhibiting growth and spreading…
Specifically speaking, compounds in cannabinoids have been proven to be affective in the treatment of breast cancer, according to a study featured in Molecular Cancer Therapeutics. It seems that the compounds treat aggressively-spreading breast cancer, impeding upon the expression of genes responsible for the growth and movement of cancer
way from the initial tumor. Confirming this finding, German researchers for the University of Rostock found that key compounds in marijuana retard tumor growth, publishing the results in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute.

I could find more answers. It seems you all are wrong. Marijuana, specifically it’s active ingredient THC, does kill cancer. Google it. You’ll find study after study.
You can’t kill cancer simply by smoking a joint. You have to ingest the oil of the cannabis plant, and a lot of it.
But… just smoking it is enough to protect you from lung cancer. Studies show NO increased chance of lung cancer EVEN IF YOU SMOKE IT. The anti-cancer effects overpower the fact that you are taking in carcinogens by smoking.
All this is out there… look it up.

I highly doubt what you are saying is true. So far, they have only found medical marijuana to help elevate some symptoms of diseases but doesn’t cure anything. Also, the government hasn’t said that there is no medical uses for marijuana or at least not for at least a decade or so and there is a number of States that have legalized marijuana for certain illnesses.
