Hello Sailor
1. It’s in you
Many of the human body’s physiological processes are controlled by the endocannabinoid system. Cannabinoids aren’t found anywhere except in the
human body and in the cannabis plant (apart from mother’s breast milk). This system affects appetite, pain-sensation, mood, and memory amongst other
things. So humans are biologically linked to this plant whether they like it or not.
2. The US patented it in 2003
Despite the official line that marijuana has ‘no medical benefits’, the US has patented marijuana: patent #6630507
On their official website they state:
“Cannabinoids have been found to have antioxidant properties, unrelated to NMDA receptor antagonism. This new found property makes
cannabinoids useful in the treatment and prophylaxis of wide variety of oxidation associated diseases, such as ischemic, age-related,
inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. The cannabinoids are found to have particular application as neuroprotectants, for example in limiting
neurological damage following ischemic insults, such as stroke and trauma, or in the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases, such as
Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease and HIV dementia.”
2. 3. It does cure skin cancer
Most people have heard about Rick Simpson and the work he has been doing with cancer patients and cannabis oil.
If you haven’t you can find out more here. Oh yes, it also cures Crohn’s disease.
4. It may cure all cancers
Over 600 peer reviewed papers show that numerous cancer types (lung, breast, prostrate, glioma, thyroid, leukemia, lymphoma, basal cell carcinoma,
melanoma) are killed by canabinoids in tissue culture and animal studies. More here (pdf). And here.
5. Smoking it doesn’t cause cancer
Smoking cannabis does NOT lead to lung cancer, the largest ever study of this shows.
6. Not taking cannabis may cause health problems
Scientists have started to speculate that the root cause of disease conditions such as migraines and irritable bowel syndrome may be a deficiency in
endocannabinoids.
