how reliable is this source?

[mrdevious]

how reliable is this source?

It's a study in from the university of California, made by scientists who were looking for negative effects, and reported by both Fox and Yahoo news. what do you want?

Okay, so it's been proven that marijuana smoke isn't nearly as bad as cigarettes...

It's been proven THC prolongs life in cancer patients...

It's been proven that marijuana smokers are generally happier people...

What the fuck is the fucking problem!?

[The Grim Reefer]

"The results should not be taken as a blank check to smoke pot, which has been associated with problems like cognitive impairment and chronic bronchitis, said Dr. John Hansen-Flaschen, chief of pulmonary and critical care at the University of Pennsylvania Health System in Philadelphia. He was not involved in the study."

Interesting.

This is the umpteenth thread on this topic. It's starting to give me cancer.

Cannabis plant matter, Trichomes, THC and all cannabinoids inclucing 11-hydoxy-cannabinol are 100% harmless, and will never cause any health problems, EVER.

There is no longer ANY reason for cannabis, in ANY forms to be illegal in ANY country.

We knew this already,... its taken them this long to find out? lmao./

They've known for a long time that it cures Cancer.

They've known for a long time that it cures Cancer.

That's a pretty big stretch. Actually, what they've found--in very limited studies--is that it seems to inhibit growth of a couple of types of cells. Not necssarily cancer cells, either. It's beneficial news for potential cancer benefits. But we've not yet made the direct leap to it curing cancer.

[beachguy in thongs]

They found out in the 70's that it cured Cancer and they suppressed it for all these years.

It "cured" three types of Cancer in mice.

[beachguy in thongs]

Here's one thing I found. Good luck.

...most in vivo studies have demonstrated that cannabinoids ¾ administered either locally or systemically over a range of doses ¾ inhibit cancer (Munson et al. 1975, Kaplan 1984, Chan et al. 1996, Blazquez et al. 2003, Blazquez et al. 2004, Bilfuco et al. 2001, Bilfuco et al. 2004, Casanova et al. 2003, Duntsch et al. 2005, Grimaldi et al. 2006, Kogan at al. 2004, Massi et al. 2004, McKallip et al. 2002, Portella et al. 2003, Recht et al. 2001, Sanchez et al. 2001).

And then, the studies showing that it causes cancer are those devoid of cannabinoid receptor cells, one of the most numerous in Our nervous system.

The guy who told me about the Cancer cure was a drug-rehab counselor, who listed all these things he's done and said that he was an expert on pot. This was the winter of 1999. I talked to him, privately, and told him about the studies I've done on Melatonin. And that's when he said that "the U.S. and Europe are doing studies on it (Pot), right now, and expect a lot of the information to be made public within the next five to ten years."

Cannabinoids destroy cancer

"Researchers at University of Wisconsin's Department of Dermatology reported that the administration of the cannabis receptor agonist WIN-55,212-2 inhibited cell growth in certain human prostate cells, and also induced apoptosis (programmed cell death). Administration of a cannabis receptor antagonist prevented these effects."
