1. Probably not

But I know it provides relief for pain and for those that don't have an appetite.

2. pot cures EVERYTHING!

Just ask a pothead. They know!

(not a pot-smoker, but pro-legalization)

Pot is not magical. It just makes you high, and in some cases it relieves pain. Yeah it should be legalized. Blame William Randolph Hearst. (totally his fault)

4. I guess you think the whole glaucoma thing was really just BS from the start n/t

[Bennyboy]

5. Well, you really need to open the links and do some studying

and discover that it actually does cure cancer. CURES CANCER. Don't dismiss until you know the facts.

7. Cannabis Science Extracts Kill Cancer Cells In Cancer Patients

DENVER--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Cannabis Science, Inc. (OTCBB: CBIS) a pioneering U.S. biotech company developing pharmaceutical cannabis (marijuana derivative) products, is pleased to announce that numerous patients are reporting that Cannabis Science extract treatments are killing cancer cells. Cannabis Science, in conjunction with Rockbrook, its Colorado-licensed dispensary, consulted with a variety of cancer patients who were seeking to inform themselves of the current peer reviewed scientific literature, regarding the historical use of cannabis to treat "tumors”. Unlike most conventional cancer treatments, cannabis has an outstanding safety profile, and patients in states with medical marijuana laws are able to make an informed decision to legally try various cannabis preparations to determine what is most effective for their particular condition.

Some of these scientifically informed patients have chosen to self-administer Cannabis Science extracts supplied by Rockbrook to treat their own cancers. Cannabis Science is delighted that patients are reporting dramatic improvements in their conditions, including basal cell carcinoma, non-small cell lung cancer accompanied by COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease), ovarian cancer, and glioma.

Please visit www.cannabisscience.com to view the “Breaking News” of the successful results and images of the self-administered cancer treatments.

For example, a patient with basal cell carcinoma used a topical formulation to dramatically and rapidly eliminate her obvious skin cancer. Meanwhile, patients with internal tumors used oral formulations for their treatment. We currently await more complete clinical evaluations of the patients’ own reports of dramatic health improvements coincident with tumor shrinkage and disappearance.

Dr. Robert J. Melamede, the CEO and President of Cannabis Science Inc., stated, "We will pursue and acquire intra-state generated data to make these cancer medicines available to the public at large as rapidly as possible. To accomplish this goal, we will seek accelerated FDA approval. We are on the verge of a revolution in medicine. Cannabis is now returning to modern medicine for all the right reasons. State generated results give us a unique ability to acquire scientific and clinical data for cannabis-based cancer treatments. As previously announced, we will use our new laboratory facility to house analytical instrumentation, tissue culture, clean rooms and additional necessary equipment. This facility will meet or exceed all federal, state, and local requirements to allow for the necessary for FDA clinical trials.”

Cannabis Science expects to hold a press conference soon to formally announce its cancer formulation progress and future plans for cancer treatments. Brand names for our new cancer treatment drugs are currently being vetted through the company attorney for future commercial use.

18. Winning combo!

10. studies have been showing this since at least the 70s

12. I wonder why it didn't cure Bob Marley. nt

[Solomon]

21. Bob Marley was killed.

That's why.

[peopleb4money]

23. Bob Markey was just smoking it. He didn't get the cannabidiol in a high enough concentration

Either that, or he was killed by the CIA like the other poster said. Anyway, that's why Rick Simpson used an oil extract. If you read some of the studies and articles on how cannabinoids shrink tumors in mice, they explain you don't get them in high enough levels to shrink tumors by simply smoking it.

As far as I can tell, Rick Simpson just took the findings of these researchers to its logical end.

CHeck this out. Smoking it doesn't even cause lung cancer

13. Shortly after my mom died from cancer in 2004, I discovered

that movie. I have shown it to everyone I care about ever since and have posted it here on DU a couple times, too. It can't be seen enough! I just wish I'd seen it before my mom and my friend, Joe, died because I always wonder if they could have been saved if only we'd known...

14. Nicotine & carcenogens kill hundreds of thousands and it's legal...(?)

16. Baby uses cannabis to treat brain tumor...

Shauna Lake, on KUTV in Salt Lake City did a report on Cash Hyde, the 2 1/2 yr old Montana boy whose parents credit MMJ with helping him defeat his brain tumor. We posted his story yesterday, scroll down to see it

Next time, though, it would be nice to see a link to a legitimate source rather than YouTube videos.

19. The problem in that is this...

cannabis, in any form, is a schedule 1 narcotic and is illegal to use in any form. So studies are actually illegal in this country.

[Bennyboy]

20. And here is a Canadian study...

Many studies have recently come out regarding cannabis and its effect on the body, but one thing has become certain about all of them: marijuana is a hot topic among researchers.

A new study published online Wednesday in the cancer journal Annals of Oncology found that the active ingredient in cannabis can improve the appetites and sense of taste in cancer patients.

The Canadian researchers’ study involved 21 patients with any advanced cancer who had all been eating less as a result of their illness. The patients were randomly assigned to receive medication, while 11 of those patients received oral capsules containing delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC).

The team found that 73 percent of THC-treated patients reported an increased overall appreciation for food compared with patients receiving placebo.

Fifty-five percent of the cannabis treated patients reported that food tasted better while taking the THC pills.

However, despite the positive results from the Canadian researchers, another recent study found that cannabis use can lead to sexual dysfunction.

Rany Shamloul, from Queens University’s Department of Pharmacology and Toxicology, recently found that cannabis use may have a negative impact on male sexual performance.

“Cannabis is the most widely-used illicit drug globally,” says Dr. Shamloul, a postdoctoral fellow in the Department of Pharmacology and Toxicology. “It is also often used by young, sexually active people who are unaware of the hazardous effects it may be having on their sexual health and performance.”

Recent studies have identified new negative connections between cannabis use and sexual dysfunction that may put an end to previous controversy.

Some scientists now believe that certain receptors in the brain that are effected by cannabis also exist in the penis. Cannabis use may have an antagonizing effect on these receptors, making it more difficult for a man to achieve and maintain an erection.

“These findings will change the current understanding of the magnitude of the impact of cannabis use on sexual health,” Shamloul said in a press release.

Shamloul’s study will appear in an upcoming issue of the Journal of Sexual Medicine.

As new studies have continued to gain momentum on the positive and negative effects of marijuana, another new study suggests that the federal anti-drug campaign ‘Above the Influence’ has effectively reduced the use of cannabis by teenagers.

A study of over 3,000 students in 20 communities around the world found that by the end of 8th grade, 12 percent of those who had not reported to have seen the campaign took up marijuana use compared to only eight percent among students who had reported been familiarity with the campaign.

“The ‘Above the Influence’ campaign appears to be successful because it taps into the desire by teenagers to be independent and self-sufficient,” Michael Slater, who was the principal investigator in the study, said in a statement.

In 2006, another study of the “Be Under Your Own Influence” anti-drug campaign reduced about half the number of students who began using marijuana and alcohol during the two years of the project, compared to students in the communities without the program.
