The Hounds' Haze(y) New Grow Log
Glad I can help weedy!!!!!! I did A LOT of research on cannabis and cancer. Call me crazy, but I FULLY believe it works. The mice reference you made is one of the examples I read. Granny has a lot of good info on her "list" thread probably. Ill find a link for ya.
Determination and a lil THC wi beat the bricks off of conventional government "medicine".
Your proof....and an Inspiration to many weedt1

AND.....from what I have read, certain compounds in cannabis can "block" certain receptors that have something to do with either the dividing cells or the blood supply to the tumor......don't have that one down 100%. I am simply PONTIFICATING here....:jointsmile:.....but I have wondered why....if say cannabis WERE part of the reason I responded so well to chemo.....why did it not prevent my tumors in the first place.
To further up on my stoned theory I came up with a couple thoughts. (that's amazing all by itself!! :D) They are 1. I eat/capsule several grams of cannabis daily. I do NOT smoke it......but I DO ingest it. ALOT as we all know. My point here is this.....I take big doses consistently. More than most people can smoke. I personally.....even if I had PERFECT lungs.......could not smoke the amount of cannabis daily that I can ingest when eating. So smoking it isn't enough of a dose......you must ingest a larger amount regularly.
2. My understanding is that THC itself is only one of many compounds in cannabis so perhaps it is NOT the cannaboid that blocks the receptors in question. (complete guess here) I know there have been many tests run with Marinol (pure thc) but what if that were NOT the actual cannaboid that was needed for blocking? What if it were one of the many OTHER cannaboids in the weed?
3. What if you need to use them in conjunction with standard chemo......they simply block certain receptors, which then allow the chemo meds to do their job more effectively. Does this at make sense to anyone?
Weezard if you read this....how much ganja do you ingest daily and how? Maybe I should start a thread asking..........
A million and one "what ifs"? But I find myself wondering..........all thoughts (even laughing at) welcome. :)
hey girl, I think you might have hit the nail on the head BOOM SMACK one shot....My Father in law used Marinol in the past for his M.S. it Didn't do as much for him as smoking...so What you've said about ingestion, I think is the big factor...Even though I'm not a doctor, I do play one on ....?....some things are better left unsaid....
I applaud you again for your victory...
FADE IN:
INT.OCTAGON CAGE.NIGHT
WEEDHOUND's Hand is raised by the referee, as the announcer YELLS out her name as the victor.
The doctors now tend to the fighter only known as the big C, who is still laid out unconscious.
The crowd and WEEDHOUND's corner cheer so loud untill...KABOOM the roof explodes, from what has to be the loudest applause in fighting history. The MGM GRAND is now topless like a convertible ragtop.
We back out of the cage, up through the hole that used to be the roof as WEEDHOUND yells...
WEEDHOUND
Victory is mine
Through the roof, up and over the bright lights of the Las Vegas strip we fly.
As the lights become farther away the distinct shape of cannabis leaves and flowers quickly overgrow the planet we call home...
And all is once again balanced in the Universe...
FADE OUT:
Sorry I get lost sometimes and forget where I am, I get in front of a keyboard and the screenwriter inside of me begins to manifest himself...lol...
Stay positive...and most of all stay YOU...
P.S. Nice job on Ike maybe she wasn't all you'd hoped for but it is your personal best so CONGRATS...Maybe She didn't like the boys name so she decided diet, so as to not be a redwood...Ike wasn't in that bloom room beating on Tina I mean Curly was she...lol...

Aside from the issue of my own Swelled Head Syndrome.....the scene is fine. :D
I'm very sure we will be hearing more from the unconcious C.....but will take our ribbons and hold them loftily for now. We did the hard part.....we're damn well going to soak up the good parts as well. :) :thumbsup:

Dollink, of course I'm reading this.:)
Now, take a big gulp of fresh air, and do not faint.;)
Yes, that does feel good.:thumbsup:
That's why I turned down the chemo and the radiation after the surgery.
Well, to be accurate, the chemo is not an option, and the radiation can cause symptom that I won't even talk about in mixed company.
So, Ganja went from my bffl to my "clutching straw".
Always been a heavy smoker. 40+ years.
Nowadays, you could call me a weed hound.:D
I can't really give a number or amount, I have several grades of medication from my garden, including hash.
Basically, I start early with high grade buds and escalate from there. The phrase, "ripped to the tits" comes to mind.:stoned:
By 7 pm, I'm so baked, I can watch television!
Then I break out the good stuff!:stoned::stoned::stoned:
Basically, if I didn't grow, there's no way I could afford to do this.
Will it help? I sure as hell hope so.
If not, well, "the light was better over here", ya?:D
Love and aloha
(And thanks for the terrific siggy.)

Weedy,
i'm definately diggin on your well thought out hypotheses and theories.
defiantely not far fetched.
eastern culture has utilized 1000s of plants for 1000s of years for medicinal purposes.
theres years of research that should have started decades ago.
unfortunately, the free thinkers arent usually in charge.
"The cancer-cannabis connection, details at 11":wtf:
