“The cancer cell killing and pain relieving properties of cannabinoids are less well known to the general public. Cannabinoids may prove to be useful chemotherapeutic agents. Numerous cancer types are killed in cell cultures and in animals by cannabinoids. For example, cannabinoids kill the cancer cells of various lymphoblastic malignancies such as leukemia, lymphoma, skin cancer, glioma, breast and prostate cancer, pheochromocytoma, thyroid cancer, and colorectal cancer.”
Dr Robert Melamede, Harm Reduction Journal, September 2005.
Given this scandalous era of blatant media manipulation and corporate corruption on an inter-governmental scale, it is hardly surprising that the discovery by scientists at the University of Colorado, that cannabis may actually help prevent the development of cancerous tumours, has been all but completely blackballed in the mainstream media.
As published on the widely respected Drugscope website in October 2005, the Colorado scientists have discovered that cannabis smoke is not only much less harmful than cigarette smoke, the unfairly criminalised weed actually destroys cancerous cells in the lungs of animals.
Dope less likely to cause cancer than tobacco
Tobacco is arguably the least effective, most addictive and systematically fatal of all recreational drugs. Mixing it with dope also helps maintain the common perception that smoking joints can be fiercely addictive and horrendous for the lungs. This is absolutely true of course, but only when the tobacco is added to the weed or resin.
In the light of the University of Colorado’s discovery, the implications are that smoking pure cannabis may even reduce your chances of contracting cancer, as well as killing any existing malignant cells. In two reports published in the Harm Reduction Journal in September and November 2005 respectively, Dr. Robert Melamede writes that certain ingredients found within the plant help regulate the immune system, relieve pain and prevent disease.
Dr Melamede’s Conclusions Part One
Dr. Melamede also suggests that while cannabis has been known to exacerbate the symptoms of schizophrenia in some patients, it conversely helps alleviate symptoms in others, but there is no evidence to suggest that there is a causal link.
Dr Melamede’s Conclusions Part Two
The current international drugs laws are perfectly designed to serve the needs of the legal drugs industries rather than the people, who continue to pay with their lives for their lethal, legal addictions. It’s not the drugs that don’t work, it’s the laws that criminalise one fifth of the otherwise law-abiding population.
If hemp and its myriad of uses were decriminalised, ALL oil-based products could be replaced with biodegradable hemp-based solutions, while the use of ALL chemicals that have destabilised our physical and environmental health would become obsolete.
A plant that can grow almost anywhere on this Earth, in almost any conditions, has been provided by the Universe for good reasons. Instead of displacing food crops for the criminally disastrous biofuel industry, farmers should be growing fields of fruits, vegetables and grains bordered by the most unique and versatile plant ever utilised by humankind, thereby eradicating the need to use of any chemical fertilisers and pesticides, which poison the earth as well as the food that grows in it. We might also rid the planet of the pain and suffering that is the life-blood of the Cancer-Industrial Complex.
