The Truth About Weed the Feds Don't Want You to Know

You read that right, my sleepy-eyed stoners. Cannabis CURES cancer. Okay, that is a bit of propaganda wrapped up in overstatement. But guess what? It is our turn to spread the real propaganda of ganja. The thing that the government, religious fanatics and our parents alike will hate the most about our propaganda is that it is full of truth.

According to "The Cannabible 3," in 1974, a study funded by the United States Federal Government found evidence demonstrating that Tetrahydrocannabinol, the most active cannabinoid in cannabis, reduces growth rates of three kinds of cancer. The assholes in the Drug Enforcement Administration office decided it might be bad for business if the public knew this. No major media outlets reported the story and research was halted in that area.

"What a pothead" you scoff. "Believing some pipe-dream a stoner threw into a book about weed." Oh, ye of little faith. Still can't trust your brethren to be intelligent on the most important issues facing the world?

Do you trust scientists working at Harvard to be intelligent? On April 17, 2007, Science Daily: News & Articles in Science, Health, Environment & Technology reported on Harvard researchers delving deeper into the relationship between cannabis and cancer. "'The beauty of this study is that we are showing that a substance of abuse, if used prudently, may offer a new road to therapy against lung cancer,' said Anju Preet, Ph.D., a researcher in the Division of Experimental Medicine."

Since the initial discovery in 1974, multiple international studies have confirmed that THC can halt or reverse the growth of cancer cells. In Germany: A study demonstrates the anti-cancerous effect of cannabinoids in lung and cervical cancer. At the Complutense University of Madrid Spain: One third of infected rats have their brain tumors eliminated after treatment with synthetic THC. In Italy: Cannabinol is shown to inhibit the growth of cancerous glioma cells, both in vitro and in vivo. The list goes on.

Perhaps the study most worth mentioning is a secret study financed by the U.S. government. In 1997, it was leaked to the media that the U.S. National Toxicology Program had conducted a study worth $2 million, pointing to the fact that THC protected against malignant tumors. This is the only other study funded by the government to investigate the anti-cancerous properties. As with the first study, the findings were kept away from the public eye for a few years. News of this event came only after an inside source deliberately took the report to the media.

Taking stock of this situation is sure to confuse and enrage. Let Mary Jane soothe the rage as I take care of the confusion. ( Mary Jane has trouble helping with confusion. It is not her fault, she's just too stoned to figure out how. ) The situation is as follows: we are surrounded by liars. All our short stoner lives, people have been telling us that smoking marijuana will give us cancer. Scary lies like "One joint is equal to 20 cigarettes" are paraded as facts. The government, the one by the people and for the people, takes our taxes to fund studies that may lead to the cure for cancer, then hides the results from us.

The media chooses not to publicize these findings because then there would be less time to terrorize us with stories of violence and despair. Health care providers, the people supposedly fighting diseases for the benefit of others, are not interested in learning more about this issue. It is hard to blame them, though. How can that juggernaut of an industry support itself when a cure for cancer could be grown in a person's back yard?

Health care providers have to be able to pay the scientists, do the research, discover the drug and test the pill, which has to pass the tests set up by the feds, so they can make money. This is so the public "knows" that when they have to buy health care to pay to see the doctor. How else are you going to afford those little white pills the pharmacy gives you instead of letting you know that many ailments can be cured by changes in diet, exercise or cheaper, natural, healthier substances, like weed?

So, does cannabis prevent or possibly even cure cancer? Pass me that bong and we'll find out together.

i dont trust anyone to be intelligent, ive seen the smartest folk fuck up immensely.

mostly speaking from personal experience

edit: actually i trust people to be intelligent, when i see them make mistakes, not be afraid about it, learn from it and never do it again. hehehe or less and less do it again.

i dunno... the article seems quite biased. im confident there are ill-effects from smokin weed. Tho i have almost no certainty if the benefits could possibly outweigh the bad. its possible, for sure. especially when you consider pill form of THC over smoking.

my wife is currently engaged in research of pomegranite juice and shrinking/slowing cancer in mice. perhaps with her knowledge of how to sustain a living organ or cell mass outside of a body, and my knowledge of growing righteous herbage.....we could do some private THC cancer studies when we come into a little money 10 years down the road....

I appluad both of your efforts in posting this article and contemplating this research.
What a gift that would be!

This is great news for peeps like me who vape and eat. And also I drink tons of POM lol.

3.14159 - Agreed completely. Allot of articles like this do tend to be a little biased. What i like is the effort to produce more conclusive results and help spear awareness. Weeds not as bad as its made out to be, yes there is negatives but i have no doubt in my mind that the benefits far outweigh the negatives. In comparison to 95% of all man made drugs i would say the negative effects of weed are much less. I leave my trust with the natural plants rather then man made substance.

You know what fellas? I've lost about 40 pounds in the past 2-3 weeks. How did I do it? Flaxseed oil, more fruits, more vegetables, NO meat, no sugars, lots of water and ONLY water, about 4-5g of bong rips a day... and I feel so good it is... unfathomable. Try it.

bryansm · 08-11-2009, 12:05 PM

dude 40 lbs in 2 weeks is not healthy unless you are like 350+

not to knock ya though. good job on your diet. it just doesnt sound healthy
