Default Do you or someone you know have Cancer?
Cannabis Cures Cancer - "Run From The Cure" The Rick Simpson Story

This claims hemp oil, made from female bud, is curing cancer. People tend to dismiss things like this without really looking for paying attention to the medical studies that support the claims.

Anyone tried this?
Anyone wanna give this a try?

Watch the vid.

My mother had cancer... cannabis didn't cure it- having her breast removed cured it. I refuse to believe cannabis in ANY form cures cancer... and it's wrong to play off of the desperation of sick people to promote cannabis legalization.

Agreed. Let's fight the fight fairly.

Sorry for the double post, but I watched the beginning of the video, and yeah I've smoked that stuff before. A lot of clubs in cali sell it for anywhere from 30-60 a g. It doesn't cure cancer, but for about an hour after you toke it you don't give a fuck what you have.

You know, the whole thing "this cures cancer" "that cures cancer" makes me sick. 98% of the things claimed to cure cancer don't cure anything. It's giving people unrealistic hope that they can fight it without rad, chemo, or surgery... and then who's to blame when it's too late because the cancer spread?

Word, I agree. It's definitely fucked up. I've smoked this stuff, and I'm pretty sure I don't have cancer. Also, the stuff is pretty hard to swallow. Its a sticky oil that gets caught in the back of your throat and can cause some pretty unpleasant swallowing difficulties.

Was she smoking it or eating the oil that had THC? Smoking it isnt supposed to work.

Yes it was, I believe it was anywhere from 40-80 percent THC, probably closer to 60-80 %. I cant say because I dont have the equipment to test it, but I would say its about three times as potent as a good hash.

I agree that its unfair to use cancer or any other illness to promote legalisation..
I'm Just happy that those who need to use, can do so without fear of repercussions..

slightly off topic but,
I helped a friend do a medical paper a while back and its since been discovered that NEEM oil has very beneficial effects on tumors and a multitude of other medical complaints, as well as working as a a contraceptive and STI inhibitor.


Here's part of the paper that was released to the press

Its Latin name is Azadirachta indica but it is more popularly known as neem and is found in abundance in India and other Asian nations. Neem has been researched thoroughly and scientists are now cautiously calling it the “wonder plant.” Briefly, neem has antibacterial and antiviral properties that can help with mouth or gum diseases and also act against sexually transmitted diseases.

It also has antifungal and anti-inflammatory properties that help in fighting athletes foot and arthritis. Studies conducted in Malaysia, Thailand, and India show that neem helps to boost antioxidant levels and thus protects against liver damage and carcinogens. Neem also helps in the treatment for malaria and diabetes.
All parts of the neem tree can be used such as the fruit, seeds, bark, oil, roots, and leaves. Neem’s cures for many diseases have been described but these have to be independently confirmed by clinical research trials. In vitro and preclinical studies have come up with some spectacular results but a lot more research needs to be carried out before neem can be recommended for human use.
Neem has many active compounds that work together through different mechanisms. This feature highlights its potent effect on cancers. An important mechanism that has been discovered is programmed cell death in which cancer cells are directly killed. This enables a process called cross-priming because the apoptosis allows the body’s immune system cells to start identifying and destroying the cancer cells. Research has shown that neem produces glutathione, which is a carcinogen-detoxyfing enzyme and is one of the antioxidants that neem produces. Chiefly, the research on neem shows that it works effectively in human cell lines and animal models. These include lung, cancer, stomach, skin, prostate, and breast cancer, among others. Studies with neem have thrown up results showing that pre-treatment with it is highly effective as a protection against cancer. While it is efficacious as a stand-alone treatment, research also shows that it increases the positive effects while reducing the side effects of some traditional cancer treatments.
Neem has been used and tested on quite a few cancers. Neem-based creams have been used to treat skin cancer and it has been taken internally also to test its effect on lymphocytic cancer. Indian, Japanese, and European scientist have discovered that the neem bark and seeds and oil contain polysaccharides and liminoids that helped to reduce tumors and were efficacious against lymphocytic leukaemia. Results from another research showed that neem leaf extract prevents cancer cells from sticking to other body cells, which means that cancer cannot spread so easily to other parts of the body and can be more easily destroyed.
Research is still ongoing about the effects of neem and it is still an alternative treatment that can be taken alongside more conventional cancer treatment. Patients with cancer can volunteer for clinical trials to study the results of neem on cancer. But do consult your physician before going in for any kind of alternative treatment that includes neem or other herbs.

I helped him read through hundreds of medical tests and experiments, and it does seem that our beloved Neem is indeed a very useful plant, and not just for erradicating those spidermites.

My wife has pityriasis lichenoides chronica(or however its spelt), that, whilst not serious, is 'apparently' incurable, she's tried using neem as it is good for skin conditions too, and she's had a drastic reduction in the amount of lesions/hives she suffers from..
