recent studies(lung cancer, alzheimers)

[yoda]

im almost done with my argument paper for legalization of marijuana, that has requirements of 10 pages(i have a little over 8 now) and 12 sources(i have 10). some of the information i have included in my paper though, is how marijuana does not cause lung cancer, and that use may prevent alzheimers.

now, i cant find any links for those studies(google somehow, cnn). i know ive seen em on here, can anybody help? getting those 2 links alone would complete my references.

Try NORML.org and run a search there.:o

Dang, all you gotta do is run cannabis abstract alzheimer's or cancer. But being a sweetie, I'll get you started- http://www.mapinc.org/drugnews/v05/n307/a10.html - "Study: Marijuana Slows Alzheimer's Decline"
http://erowid.org has more an Alzheimer's and pot. For the cancer, just go to NORML- they have a nice article by Paul Armentano Titled "Cannabis Smoke and Cancer: Assessing the risk" That should cover it- Granny :stoned:

yep found that, talking about that in my paper too

i really have found alot of powerful things, and it makes me that much madder that cannabis is still illegal.

Where is the study/research linking brain tumors to artificial sweeteners? I know there's lots of theory and postulation out there about the neurologically sinister nature of aspartame and Splenda, too. (We know saccharine is a carcinogen, but we've known that for 30 years.) But unless I've missed something big some place, the sweetener-tumor link is all just still hypothesis. I've not yet seen one paper that conclusively proves sweeteners cause brain tumors. So I'm not at all convinced of the curative properties of THC/cannabis in fighting those tumors. I just know about the link between glioma suppression and cannabis.

I'm thinking they're talking about rats- I remember when Sweet 'N Low had those "In some laboratory studies, saccharine showed signs of cancer in lab rats" until they took it off about 2 years ago.

Perhaps the study is on rats?

haha, i did a report on legalizing marijuana in highschool right after someone did a speach on why it should stay illegal... and i was REALLY high and forgot what i was saying mid speech lol it look pretty bad =[

Another great source you could use is a book called "The Benefits of Marijuana" by Joan Bello. You can check out the books website www.benefitsofmarijuana.com to read lots of exerpts from it. One study mentioned, talks about how marijuana not only doesn't cause lung cancer, but it actually reduces a cigarette smokers chances of getting lung cancer if they smoke weed too. VERY GOOD BOOK!
