The US government has thrown its weight behind the earth-shattering claims that cannabis kills cancer cells.
Everyone from hippies to conspiracy theorists and even several creditable scientists have previously argued that smoking or ingesting the herb can have medicinal benefits.
Cancer kills up to 20,000 people worldwide every day, according to global health estimates.
Health researchers for the US government claim that cannabinoids - the active ingredients in cannabis - can inhibit the illness by causing cell death and blocking key blood vessels needed by tumours to grow.
They say studies in mice and rats show cannabinoids may be able to kill cancer cells - while still protecting normal cells.
Key chemical ingredients in marijuana were found effective in fighting against colon cancer, liver cancer, breast cancer and several other forms of the disease.
It was also suggested that cannabidiol can boost the effectiveness of chemotherapy - without any of the nasty side effects.
A health researcher on the US government's Cancer.orgwebsite claimed: "Studies in mice and rats have shown that cannabinoids may inhibit tumor growth by causing cell death, blocking cell growth, and blocking the development of blood vessels needed by tumors to grow. Laboratory and animal studies have shown that cannabinoids may be able to kill cancer cells while protecting normal cells.
"A study in mice showed that cannabinoids may protect against inflammation of the colon and may have potential in reducing the risk of colon cancer, and possibly in its treatment.
"A laboratory study of delta-9-THC in hepatocellular carcinoma (liver cancer) cells showed that it damaged or killed the cancer cells. The same study of delta-9-THC in mouse models of liver cancer showed that it had antitumor effects."

So,cannabis consumers should continue?? Like increasing their number of intakes daily??
Can it still be said that smokers are liable to die young or was that just A myth altogether??
@MARTINS ABOY
Na to begin 'ganja' everyday.
By the way, I smoke weed everyday
Only a mad man would take this to mean~ GO ON/ KEEP SMOKING MARIJUANA, u go just die of lung cancer.
Yes it's been often argued bout d role of MJ in medicine, its process form have been found to be helpful in treating cataract and somewhat in irritable bowel syndrome bt like i said, it is its processed form and not in its raw form.
As for the above,its been found beneficial in some form of cancers bt d confusion still remains,whilst in its fight in protecting A, it sure has a role in elevating B.
MJ like all forms of ciggies are a triggering factor to lotsa lung diseases.
Moral of d story~ stay away from MJ unless prescribed by ur doctor*which won't be anytime soon* bt if u can't stay away,den dntt smoke in excess,moderation is d key *winks*
Hmmmmm
it's good 2 know...
That's thier pot of weed
Next pls
Heard about it before. Even in desperate house wives lynnets mum had to give her weed without her knowledge when she was undergoing chemotherapy for cancer.
crazy old woman.
This US people the way they are leading people to hell is terrible. Now you are advicing people to take marijuana that it kills cancer.
so all those igbo smoking boys will start to do yagayaga for road. so igbo is now legitimate. Buhari oya oooo make it legitimate since it kills.
So.... smoke on!
Old gist Na, this is why is was legalized, n they say it eases pain too.

Just continue with the way u were using it before.E no matter.
Gbaaaaaaaammmm! But i prefer madness to deadly cancer,afterall many mad people are still alive and roaming d street.
Now u know,ngwanu smoke on.
I read of a story of a man whose daughter was down with cancer and was already given a specified time in whuch she was to die. This man used this thing and it helped improve the girl's health drastically. Didn't follow up the story to know if he was eventually arrested or not.
But for those who have relations suffering from cancer, they will be willing to try out anything. MODERATION is the key. When u know the pains a cancer patients go through, u'll understand.
In my opinion, if this is confirmed, Nigerian government should key into it and have a way of regularizing the usage. That's all....
You are more than jobless,you need help
I wish I can smoke,i will try though
Interesting
I will definitely visit the bunk.

Thank God o!smoking is not the only way to take it.There are different ways.Don't abuse it.Take in small portion.
Arianna pls which research have u read that says marijuana causes madness?? Cos I would also love to read it.... MARIJUANA ALONE does NOT cause MADNESS!!!!! There is no research on earth that says it does but when people MIX it with other d drugs like cocaine, acid etc that is when it is harmful. My 20yrs as a scientist I have never seen a case of Marijuana alone induced madness. The only side effect to me is increase in appetite (if that is considered a side effect) so please before people make claims do a little research get facts. Reading helps.
Where's my RAW paper?? Lemme roll up!! LOL
When somebody isn't refined or still has the IQ of a person possessed by a demented ghost they usually nickname themselves "The President's Wife" peole like this can't tell the front of a book from the back, can't really blame you though education isn't meant for everyone but you can use a smart phone though, I gguess one can teach an old DOG new tricks. The president's wife pls people like you are ornamental not functional so when it comes to socially constructive issues pls take a 1000 steps back. This party isn't for your mental state I don't think you'll be able to decipher the meanings.
Anonymous 12:39 you can smoke cook or eat it anyhow u want to, if u are a smoker u can smoke it but I think it's best to mix it with your food or chew it raw. I don't smoke o but herbs are usually more effective if taken raw and fresh and make sure you get it pure not the ones mixed with other harmful drugs.
Hmmm all dis scientist ll not kill us...dey ll say dnt n say do ....anyway mk we dey weed go...lolll
Bia Kemi! So, I na anu goof?
You can boil it and drink it like herbal tea or agbo.
president ritual wife, na your mama be onye iberibe!
Whatever! Human research.. Excessive use causes hallucination and paranoia..we don't need research to know that.. My boyfriend then experienced slight paranoia before he stopped, a family friend was admitted to a psychi home due to excessive use of Marijuana alone....let him who has ears, hear
hemp oil cures cancer, but the weed makes people go a bit cray cray.
MJ is legal in some states on the US for treatment of glaucoma and it's also prescribed to cancer patients to help ease their pain. The key is to ensure you take good MJ , and not those laced with other drugs (like skunk), in appropriate dozes.
Weed is prescribed by doctors to cancer patients. Do some research.
WEED is Gods gift to mankind. Helps kill pain, help make you think incredibly and give you comfort on the inside.
Best time to light up a blunt is when you are multi-tasking or about to bed a broad or you're writing a great script. Trust me, a puff will give you all the magic you've ever craved for.
I wonder why people think weed gets one crazy, that's if its abused of course. Hell, I've seen someone go crazy just drinking cocacola in excess or icecream and all that sugary shit.
But with maryjane, good lord. You will never be the same, I mean you will be on another level of humanity.
In the words of the late NateDogg, Smoke Weed Everyday. Tobacco kills.
