THC cuts lung cancer growth, spread

THC isn't the only powerful natural cancer cure. more at www.goodbyehealthinsurance.com

Please note those statistics are for stopping smoking CIGARETTES. While it might seem fair to compare the inhalation of one burning compound to another, it's a false assumption. Ingestion is different, composition is different, and the volume of product consumed is radically different.

For what it's worth, while it's reasonable to assume at least SOME of the negative health consequences associated with cigarette smoking are shared, the science doesn't exist to support that conclusion.

the benefits of quitting smoking far outweigh the reasons to NOT stop smoking, in fact check this list of improvements you should expect to see in your physical/mental health if you quit smoking.

If You Already Have Lung Cancer

If you already have lung cancer, it is best advised to stop smoking immediately. When you quit smoking, here are the benefits you achieve over time:

After 20 minutes - Your blood pressure will drop and heart rate beats will increase.

After 12 hours - The amount of Carbon Monoxide in your blood system drops to normal level.

After 2 weeks - 3 months - Lung function and circulation of blood from lungs to other organs of the body improves significantly.

After 1 - 9 Months - Shortness of breath & coughing decrease, functions of Cilia (small hair-like substances that get rid of Mucus from the lungs) become normal, your lungs become cleaner, and your risk of catching infections decreases.

After 1 year - Risk of Coronary heart diseases drops by 50%

After 5 years - Risk of Strokes drops to that of a non-smoker who quit smoking 5-15 years ago.

After 10 years - Risk of lung cancer death drops by 50% as well risk of mouth, throat, esophagus, pancreas or Bladder cancer also drops.

After 15 years - Risk of coronary heart diseases becomes that of a non-smoker.

Bob Marley would disagree.

It's because it's not a war on (some) drugs, it's a war on minorities, and the easiest way to recoup our losses from the north winning the civil war is to stuff our prisons to replace slave labor with prison labor. Outlawing substances that minorities used instead of drinking the white man's alcohol.

Check out "Hemp for Victory" too, published by the USDA in 1942 begging farmers to grow hemp 'for the war.'

fuck off.

thank you.

i smoke ma weed but i dont drink,coz i know alcohol is a drug that most of the people in this world find get addicted,but ma point is that y doesn't the government legalise weed since its natural n they remove alcohol.
accordin to ma subject,i smoke weed n i love weed,but how much can a person take a day fo recreation.

Btw.... they are talking about pure THC... so if you're smoking blunts... that's not going to help..... best way is with a vaporizer since THC burns at lower temperatures than plant material and clorophyl burn..... hence only the THC is being exposed to your lungs. Just a thought.

You sir or mam, are obviously very uneducated and possibly ignorant at the same time... you have absolutely NO IDEA of what you are talking about.... aside from all health aspects that this one plant can provide.... why don't you do a simple google search for "INDUSTRIAL HEMP" and after opening your mind to a solution to our dependency upon foreign oil, which at the same time would double the potential for agricultural industry and actually give cold-weather farmers an income during the winter since industrial hemp IS NOT SMOKE-ABLE AND WILL NOT GET YOU HIGH! Industrial hemp has soooooooo much potential but since it is part of this ancient Reagan-Era "War On Drugs" nonsense, there isn't enough noise being made about it....

Then we have people like you... who are just plain morons.... open your mind a bit my friend, before you decide to start speaking on an open forum and sound extremely foolish. Want to expand your mind a bit more?... look up IBOGA treatment on google and your jaw will drop as to the truth going on in this world that nobody wants to talk about because of some ancient -relic-mentality.

Good luck to you!

I traced the article back to the American Assoc. for Cancer Research... seems pretty legit to me. To see for yourself go to http://www.aacr.org/home/public--media/news/news-archives-2007.aspx?d=744
type in THC in the search field. the article is about halfway down the page. It grows natural for a reason folks.

and my opinion is that pot should be legalized. Period. Like beer is legal, only marijuana has curative powers that beer is lacking, so pot should also be grown for scientific studies, and find out all that it can do for us.

God created it. It is good.

The majority of people that hate pot have never done it, therefore they do not realize how great it can be for both medical and recreational purposes. There is scientific research that proves that the worse thing that happens is that you lose a little lung capacity. Every skill or function stays relatively the same when you are high, except your short term memory and your math skills. When you sober up you gain back everything that you have lost. The only reason so many people hate is because of government propaganda. One of the only reasons it is illegal because the government can't tax it. You don't believe me, fine, but before you completely make up your mind watch the movie, 'Super High Me.' It is a documentary that goes through great lengths to gain scientific proof that proves that pot is not as bad as the government and the radical conservatives have lead this country to believe. Anyone who watches this movie and than still thinks pot is as bad as it is made out to be is nothing but a tool to the rich, religious, or radical extremists.

isn't plagiarism lovely? and from sciencedaily, no less...

Exactly. My philosophy has always been to avoid drugs at all costs. Not just the illegal ones, but every vaccination, chemical, salve, cream and anti-biotic. This ensures that my body stays pure and free from any potential side effects. You know what? Maybe I should stop eating to cease defecation, that sure is a nasty side effect.

The anti Pot person is an obvious troll. Next thing you know he/she will tell us that pot is the gateway that leads to coke, heroin, and baby killing.

It's time to end the lies about pot and legalize it.

see I am so glad some researchers are willing to admit the many wonderful medical possibilities exist for marijauna, if we would just give it a chance.
