Cannabis is, without a doubt, a miracle cure for ailments of all kinds. It continues to be important to spread this fact, because the shock of America's forced prohibition and decades of drug wars are still leaving their mark across the planet, despite several states having legalized it.
It is able to kill tumor cells, leaving normal cells active in perfect health.
Our bodies are equipped with an endocannabinoid system specifically designed to bind to Cannabis compounds: these amazing compounds appear to act as regulators for many bodily processes. This should be common knowledge, common sense, but we suffer from decades of misinformation that has been instilled in us.
According to NORML (National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws):
“Endocannabinoids and their receptors are found throughout the body: in the brain, organs, connective tissues, glands, and immune cells. In each tissue, the cannabinoid system operates in different ways, but the goal is always the same: homeostasis, maintaining a stable internal environment despite fluctuations in the external environment. […] Cannabinoids promote homeostasis at every level of biological life, from the subcellular, to the organism, and perhaps even the community and beyond.”
Cannabis can be a cure for cancer by causing only the cancer cells to undergo apoptosis, or cell death. It should be noted that the potency required to effectively treat something as intense as cancer is an incredibly high dose of cannabis oil, preferably a pure, full spectrum extract. One person cured his lymphoma with a cannabis oil extract and some chemotherapy.
It can treat diabetes, not only by helping symptoms and keeping problems from getting out of hand, but also, it seems, by helping stabilize blood sugar levels. A 2014 study published in the Natural Medicine Journal , titled “ Marijuana in the Management of Diabetes ,” concludes that:
“Past and current marijuana use has been associated with lower fasting insulin, glucose, HOMA-IR, BMI, and waist circumference.”
This evidence is very old, and has been overshadowed, as it often is. In 1974, a research group at the Medical College of Virginia discovered that the growth of malignant tumor cells in mice was inhibited by Cannabis, even in cell cultures.
At the time, the Washington Post wrote about it, saying that THC “slowed the growth of lung tumors, breast cancers and virus-induced leukemia in lab mice, and extended their lives by up to 36 percent.”
These days, even the mainstream media admits it. According to the Huffington Post :
“Although these preliminary findings (published the following year in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute) were promising, U.S. government officials refused to authorize further research until they conducted a similar – albeit secret – preclinical trial in the mid-1990s. That study, conducted by the U.S. National Toxicology Program at a cost of $2 million, concluded that mice and rats given high doses of THC over long periods of time had greater protection against malignancies than those who had not been treated.
However, rather than publish its findings, the U.S. government covered up the results , which only became public after a leak leaked a draft of the findings to the medical journal AIDS Treatment News, which in turn forwarded the story to the national media.”
People are strong and intelligent enough to determine for themselves the health benefits of Cannabis.
With Cannabis, suffering some types of pain is almost impossible, so it is certainly useful to have a rigorous scientific analysis to understand exactly how it works, but authorities should not tell people how they can and cannot use it, according to the moral code of every person who believes in freedom.
