Researchers at Harvard tested the chemical THC in both lab and mouse studies. They say this is the first set of experiments to show that the compound, THC actually activates naturally produced receptors to fight off lung cancer. The researchers suggest that THC or other designer agents that activate these receptors might be used in a targeted fashion to treat lung cancer.
Although a medical substitute of THC, known as Marinol, has been used as an appetite stimulant for cancer patients and other similar treatments, few studies have shown that THC might have anti-tumor activity.
*HERE IS THE INTERESTING PART* The only clinical trial testing THC as a treatment against cancer growth was a recently completed British pilot study. For three weeks, researchers injected standard doses of THC into mice that had been implanted with human lung cancer cells, and found that tumors were reduced in size and weight by about 50 percent in treated animals compared to a control group. There was also about a 60 percent reduction in cancer lesions on the lungs in these mice as well as a significant reduction in protein markers associated with cancer progression.
Oh hell yeah! Sign me up!
Please keep in mind that SMOKING cannabis is not as effective at killing cancerous cells.
Is there a link to the study itself? I’m interested in the logistics of the study.
Save the PLANT!

I love that the video ends at 4:20
Of course pharmacuticals will now make sure it’s something that doesn’t become legal since it would take away from their porfit with the medicines that don’t help. That way they continue to make their billiona of dollars and family members not only get to bury their loved ones after prolonging their deaths, but they still have medical bills to pay even after that.
So this fantastic medicine can’t make any corporation money, and therefore it is suppressed. Millions of people suffer due to (and I really hate to say it since it sounds like an old Commie of the 1930s)–due to Capitalism. It is an astounding situation, and that the staggering medicinal possibilities should be squelched is beyond criminal. This is an illustrative example not of the evils of Capitalism but of its limits. This is an area where government is necessary. Yes, government, you Ron Paul people. If the Capitalists out of self-interest want to sh*tcan Cannabis then where else is the funding and the aegis going to come from?
Sorry dude Ron Paul wants to legalize drugs…… money spent on pointless drug wars is a waste…. he may be against personally but doesn’t believe that its the governments right to tell people what they can and can’t put in there bodies.. also you don’t need them involved in the selling of it for it to work they just need to legalize it….

CANCER-GATE…
Since I’m having difficulty finding either “study” mentioned, do you think you could post references? I mean, you didn’t even cite the scientists’ names… something smells like skunk…
Needs a reference.
I find the evidence rather compelling, yet clearly whoever wrote the copy for the “10 benefits of marijuana” must have been really stoned, or too stupid to check their spelling. I wanted to post this, but was too embarrassed given at least a two dozen spelling errors like “docters” “symtons” and a host of others. Find a literate copywriter…whoever is responsible…what a bozo!!
Man, you people need to learn to use Google. Here’s a reference from ABC News:
