The National Cancer Institute has announced that cannabis is effective as a treatment for cancer after all.
Here is the quote from his recently updated on cannabis FAQ page:
Studies in mice and rats have shown that cannabinoids have the ability to inhibit tumor growth causing cell death. It also blocks cell growth, and stops the development of blood vessels that tumors need to grow. Laboratory studies and animal studies have shown that it is possible for cannabinoids kill cancer while protecting normal cells.
And it does not stop there! The National Cancer Institute goes on to list several studies that confirm the same statement.
Everyone should know about this!
In what is possibly the most important history of cancer that has ever existed, only a few media showed it to the public without the media coverage at all important communication.
Several reasons can explain that. On the one hand, cannabis strives to be seen as more than a terrible drug that induces laziness and does not fit the popular narrative.
Admitting that marijuana for medical purposes actually has powerful healing properties imply admit that our sector this terribly wrong in law enforcement.
Of all drug arrests between 2001 and 2010, 88% were for possession of marijuana. The DEA still classifies marijuana as a Schedule 1 substance, a step above the cocaine.
Cancer is an industry of $ 100 billion a year.
That number is expected to increase to $ 147 billion by 2018.
Can you imagine what would happen with major pharmaceutical companies and their government sponsors if everyone learns that a simple herb that can grow in your backyard (not that we're suggesting you do this, follow the law, people) could cure cancer for a fraction of the cost of pharmaceuticals?
No, that would be too disruptive
