Weed inhibiting cell growth?
I was just reading the latest cannabis news column about THC's potential for cancer therapy. While it may be good for killing cancer cells, it also sounded like it inhibits cell growth in general. To quote a passage from the article, "A biochemist with the Complutense University in Madrid, Guzman identified the process by which cannabinoids, found in many forms in marijuana, can inhibit cell growth and trigger cell death".
This sounds like smoking weed may be inhibiting the growth and causing the death of many types of cells, which makes me wonder about claims like pot inhibiting muscle growth and the such. Anybody (beachguy perhapse?) know something about this?mrdevious Reviewed by mrdevious on . Weed inhibiting cell growth?
