Cannabis and Lung cancer-claims.

[unknownsoldier]

Smoking pot will not cause cancer. Smoking tobacco will. This is because certain compounds that are found in cannabis smoke actually protect you against the carcinogenic compounds found in both tobacco and marijuana smoke. Its a simple as that. The bulk of recent research supports this.

The reason why people with cancer do not see tumour shrinkage from smoking pot is because the amounts of cannibanoids needed to have an effect are too small when pot is just smoked. If you want to use cannabis to fight cancer you can either wait for pharmaceutical companies to start producing these types of medicine (you'll be waiting a very, very long time) or you can make your own. This is what a growing number of people are doing and they are having extremely positive results (e.g Rick Simpson www.phoenix tears.ca).

I agree with people who say that to vapourise/make edibles,etc is better than smoking. Burning plant material will always produce harmful substances. Although pot smoke has anti-carcinogenic properties, its still better to avoid these carcinogens in the first place!

Anyone who says they KNOW pot does this or that lost me immediately.

Can't seem to get your link to work either.....says server not available.

PS....Lumping all cancers into one big catagory also tells me your info is not reliable. There are many MANY different kinds of cancers just as there are MANY different types of infections. According to your argument we should only need one antibiotic but we don't........because there's just too much difference between them to be able to lump them all into a "one size fixes all" catagory.

Lastly, perhaps I didn't make myself clear enough......I've been consuming several grams a day for years. Before I got cancer and after. I've been eating cookies and using capsules for quite a while. Again.......according to your theory I should never have gotten cancer in the first place but I did.

Try Cure Cancer with Hemp Oil - Phoenix Tears or just google "phoenixtears" and you should be able to get it.

I'm not saying it will work for all cancers but it has so far had positive results in treating cancers of the brain, lung, colon, prostate, breast, liver, bone and pancreas. And by the way, a natural antibiotic called colloidal silver kills 600+ different types of bacteria. All cancer cells, like bacterial cells, have common characteristics that allow for cannabis oil to be effective in treating different types of cancer. And you need to consume cannabis oil daily for at least 3 months (a few ozs of oil) for it to have any effect on tumour growth. Check the link for more details on it.

Hi WH hows goes the battle, good I hope,
I have read a few studies and they have concluded that THC does inhibit some tumors growth! So if you can produce some pure THC and then put it directly on the cancerous cells you should be in business, maybe something like a vaporizor with the pure thc oil? or one of those asthma breather tube thingy's I'm a firm believer in multipile treatments too kill off nasty hard too kill things, maybe the future will use THC and chemo and another undiscovered compound. the treatment for hep-c has been interferon and ribovirin for 12 months the new treatments coming out have another compound added too them and you only have to take it 30 days!
the federal government needs to be sued in civil court or something so they get the fuck outta the way of THC studies ! Its horrible how the dea is stoping studies and jailing scientists working on THC alright i'm getting off subject better close this out keep up the battle WH sening some more prayers too you good luck
WH check my post in this thread if I find more i'll add them in

You tell a kid cannabis will kill them. They find out on their own that it won't. Now they don't know if anything their parents said about drugs was true. Now they don't know if heroin is really dangerous as everyone says it is. "The ends justifies the means", the liar will say. But the ends are not as sweet as they seem.

its not just about the drugs its all the lies we feed them
then they find out theres no easter bunny, no santa claus and none of all the other shit we feed them growing up ! Parents end up being the person the children can't trust the most because our society has us feeding them all these bullshit lies, it crushes them and destroys everything they have ever known and they have too rethink and check everything they have ever learned, we need too fix this part of our society and bring the trust back into families gotta go heading into a rant ooops srry

I did get the link to work.....thanks Unknown.....I willl study it. I already listed the fact that I wonder myself if IN CONJUNCTION with conventional chemo (ganja obviously did not PREVENT my cancer) whether ingesting the amount of mj I do has anything to do with the good results.

I've also asked my cancer doc his opinion on "marijuana in cancer therapy." While he seems to think that there IS a place "somewhere" (he did not specifiy) he mentioned something that's really had me thinking. Unless the mj was STANDARDIZED....he doesn't think it will be of any use in cancer work. In other words, not knowing who grew it, what pesticides they did or did not use, what sort of diseases or bugs may be hiding in the weed........you get the idea. Unless it's grown and regulated in a way to make sure it's SAFE for immune compromised people......he votes no.

I'm with your doc on the standardized bit, Weedhound. We pretty much all think that way. When it's standard and legal, it can be helpful in widespread medical use.

So sorry to read about your small cell cancer, dear. My heart goes out to you. Please know that you're in our thoughts and prayers. My wife sends you her love, too. If there's anything we can do to help, please let me know. Are you anyplace near Sloan Kettering or MD Anderson or Dana Tarber? One of the cancer centers of expertise? If not, can you access the latest info and find out about clinical trials if you need to?

I would guess that your doctor probably doesn't know what he's talking about. Not to bash him but it seems like typical sheeple-like thinking to me that cannabis will only become effective when the 'authorities' say it's okay. It's the same plant whether legal or not. From what I've seen from the testimonials from people in that Run From the Cure movie & in many scientific studies it seems that cannabis definately does have cancer fighting properties. I would stick with it, & possibly try the 'hemp' aka hash oil if you can. Check that movie out if you haven't yet.
