Why do liberals say that cannabis (weed) cures cancer?

>>131004202
It says right in your picture
>Cannabinoids, including THC and cannabidiol promote the re-emergence of apoptosis so that tumors will stop dividing and die
Interestingly, cannabinoid, cannabidiol and apoptosis are not English words according to spell check.

it's just a way to promote their recreational use. if they were for the study of it the argument of "it's natural/comes from the ground" would be moot and they'd accept clinical synthetic studies with the THC component taken out - cant get you high

>>131004931
I don't think you have a real understanding of cannabinoids.. THCdelta9 is only one psychoactive cannabinoid, many are basically inert, but several others have effects as well. And I don't really understand why you want to neuter that component out either since it has anticancer potential. Cannabinoids, and there are several dozens of different ones, work in concert and sometimes against each other. Studying them individually might be interesting but studying a complex minus one cannabinoid plus a similar one seems.. well, stupid as fuck. Can you explain what your trying to achieve with this illogical idea?

>>131004845
Synthetic cannabinoids

Synthetic cannabinoids have been extensively used as a pharmacological agent, both in vitro and in vivo, to obtain more detailed insight of cannabinoid action, in order to evaluate their potential clinical use. They showed both antineoplastic and protumoral activity, depending on type of agonist, target tissues, route of administration, doses and duration of the treatment [26-27]. Synthetic cannabinoids are classified on the basis of chemical structure of molecules and they are capable of a more selective activation of cannabinoid receptor [28].

it's in this article>>131004723

basically they make synthetic versions of natural substances and change the amounts of chemicals in the compound to see which individual chemicals/compounds have the desired effects. Obviously the part that potentially can have a positive effect on cancers isn't the same part that can get you high so the idea is to isolate that specific part

>>131005338
Yeah I'm sure repeated statistical studies, studies on rats, studies on mice, and studies on humans were all imagined by all of us.

Nigga, you high.

>>131004202
Cannibis contains a mild toxin that some types of cancer cells concentrate and poison themselves.

So yes it can kill some cancers. But licorice and a dozen other mild toxins can do exactly the same thing.

>>131005435
>Obviously the part that potentially can have a positive effect on cancers isn't the same part that can get you high so the idea is to isolate that specific part

>Obviously

Maybe to someone who's been indoctrinated by his state run media that cannabis makes you schizophrenic, but unfortunately it looks like the opposite is true

>>131005831
that's not the issue I was talking about, but the part of the compound that does cause adverse effects in some people (mental issues) could be isolated and taken out via the same process and research

>>131004202

You can't die from smoking/consuming cannabis, THC doesn't interact with the brain in a way that leads to respiratory or heart failure.

You don't "cure" cancer. You treat it.

Sure, I'm willing to admit it may serve as a productive treatment, but the whole concept behind curing something that is capable of adapting and evolving to survive despite your "cure" is a bit ignorant.

>>131006202

>>131009419
It never will be. The operating definition of Rockefeller or patent medicine is to isolate one thing. Cannabis does what it does out of a synergy of four hundred different things.

>>131009830
>if that is a feasible option
if they can synthesise just the parts of the compound that targets cancers, would you be for it?

>>131010141
To a degree.. but we're talking a plant even a fucking idiot can grow which could conceivably treat cancer versus an expensive patented treatment that you need a specific prescription for.

honestly making a smoothie of CBD rich leaves which are intrinsically low in the compounds that get you off is probably almost as effective a cancer treatment as several of the hyper expensive focused drug treatments out there, basically what you're looking for but without pissing away millions to get there. Just dirt, water and a seed.

I'm not saying it wouldn't be useful for society to have a better understanding of cannabinoids, in fact it would, but you seem naive as to who funds this sort if research and what (((their))) ultimate ends are. (Hint, it's money, and it's not fixing the cancer epidemic)

>>131011021
of course it's money, it's money now.
I bet if you have the patience to sift through financial reports of these new marijuana shops in the US, there would be at least subsidiaries of major Pharma co.s financing them to some extent. I think they will patent certain strains (not just the ones said to be good for cancer treatment but also the recreational ones).
My main argument for pharma co.s controlling the industry (it could be gov. pharma, which in my opinion is a safer bet even though less cash would be available for research) is that a self made concoction for the treatment of cancer is not going to have an exact amount of certain chemicals in it (even if its from the same strain/plant), least in pill/vaccine form it could be precise and each dose would be exact

>>131004202
It doesn't but it gets you high as fuck.

>>131004777
Not all weed smokers all liberal. Also it doesn't kill brain cells. It temporarily slows them down but then they speed back up unharmed. I've smoked weed on and off for years. I have quit for months and years and then smoked again. It doesn't effect me in a negative way.

>>131008391
You mean like Tommy Chong who is still alive due to CBD drops?

>>131004202
Because they're stupid. Look at the Maritimes. Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and Newfoundland have the three highest rates of cancer in Canada. They also happen to be in the top five for weed consumption.

Weed is a nice alternative to alcohol, and it does have some medical applications, but it isn't the cure-all for all things cancer.

Cannabinoids as antioxidants and neuroprotectants
US 6630507 B1
ABSTRACT
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. Nonpsychoactive cannabinoids, such as cannabidoil, are particularly advantageous to use because they avoid toxicity that is encountered with psychoactive cannabinoids at high doses useful in the method of the present invention. A particular disclosed class of cannabinoids useful as neuroprotective antioxidants is formula (I) wherein the R group is independently selected from the group consisting of H, CH3, and COCH3.

All these blue pilled weed smoking fucks. Of course smoking marijuana doesn't cure cancer. Cancer can't be, "cured". Cancer is when the telomeres don't shorten in a cluster of cells creating a tumor that destroys muscle tissue. The only way we are able to inhibit it's growth is by killing the cells so they can't replicate, which in turn kills healthy human cells. How the hell can THC, a substance that only messes with neurological transmitters in your brain get rid of tumors.

Some chemicals in it do have anti-cancer properties, but you'd need to take a direct dose of them way more concentrated than you could ever smoke for it to be effective.

Also smoking by burning the plant creates more carcinogens, so you're more likely to GET cancer than lose it by smoking weed.

Decarboxylation is a chemical reaction that removes a carboxyl group and releases carbon dioxide (CO2). Usually, decarboxylation refers to a reaction of carboxylic acids, removing a carbon atom from a carbon chain. The reverse process, which is the first chemical step in photosynthesis, is called carboxylation, the addition of CO2 to a compound. Enzymes that catalyze decarboxylations are called decarboxylases or, the more formal term, carboxy-lyases (EC number 4.1.1).

incorrect, faggot

The reason marijuana is illegal is because of greedy jews. The hemp plant is really cheap and easy to grow and can be used as a material for many different things, meaning a lot of different things would be cheaper, (((companies))) don't want that. Hemp seeds are really beneficial for the treatment of various diseases because of the oil that they contain, (((big pharma))) don't want that.

Now, smoking weed, just like smoking anything isn't good for your health. Stoners are some of the most annoying and degenerate people on this planet because the only thing they know and the only thing that they can talk about is weed.

The hemp plant really is what you would call a "miracle plant", it's just a shame that people only use it for degenerate reasons when it has so many others.

>>131004641
real shit

>>131005038
top fucking kek

People always be making excuses to not feel degenerate when using drugs.

Weed is not addictive, you can't overdose and you won't start seeing leprechauns. That's why it's considered a soft-drug
The problem is that it makes you feel good without actually accomplishing anything. That's why hippy liberals want it.

It's a medicine and should only be used only when a doctor prescribes it.

I've made regular Cannabis Oil. You basically start with "green dragon" then evaporate the alcohol off until you are left with just the tar-like residue. It will get you fucked up pretty good. I mailed my buddy some last year and he didn't have any effect from it until he ate something strangely enough. He claims he was absolutely fucked up for about 16 hours; including going to sleep and waking up high. My girlfriend tried it and ended up having a horrible panic attack where I had to take her the emergency room. I knew what was happening but her own reaction being someone who hadn't smoked much in the past was scary as fuck. She felt like she was having a seizure and was frankly absolutely fucked. I wouldn't recommend it to someone like her after that little experience.

It was great for me though. A cup of green tea maybe a little milk for something soluble for the cannibinoids to dissolve into and about 30 minutes later it would start coming on.

I'd imagine that it would work the same as the CBD oil just with the effects of the THC intact.

>>131021728
I disagree overall. While I tend to only use Alcohol in moderation and Marijuana occasionally you should be able to smoke weed all you want.

If you end up being a homeless piece of shit because of your weed habit (Which I honestly haven't seen firsthand) thats your perogative.
