Federal Govt Admits Marijuana Kills Brain Tumors, But You Still Can’t Have It
The federal government admits in newly funded research that compounds found in marijuana have an unprecedented ability to go in and kill brain tumors without any negative side effects. But you’re still going to jail if you try to use it as a medication.
And let’s be clear here: we’re not talking about prosecution for those who just ‘want to get high.’ In fact, as I’ve explained before, the true health effects of marijuana really don’t have to come with its infamous psychoactive effect Instead, we look to the non-THC (which is what gets you high) compounds within marijuana that are specifically known for their anti-cancer and antioxidant effects.
The worst part is that even marijuana without THC is still illegal, despite having zero ‘high’ effects. But then again, this new study on anti-tumor activity even focuses on extracts of marijuana that often do not cause any high either. As reported by Raw Story on the latest study:
“In a report issued by a U.S. government-funded research group tasked with studying drug abuse and addiction, researchers are admitting that marijuana is useful in killing off specific types of brain tumors. The report — coming from a government-backed group with annual budget of over $1 billion — arrives at an awkward time for the administration following an announcement by the Department of Justice this week that it will continue to prosecute medical marijuana cases against individuals in defiance of Congress.”
A quick search within the PubMed National Library of Medicine database for ‘marijuana’ turns up a host of studies, highlighting every aspect imaginable regarding the plant in its many forms. Some advocacy websites have even compiled a list of studies in an easy-to-read format surrounding marijuana, which has led numerous journalists to ask the obvious question: “why are we spending so much time researching an illegal drug for its numerous benefits while stamping side-effect-riddled drugs with the FDA stamp of approval with far less research?”
The truth? Marijuana is backed by more clinical research than most pharmaceutical drugs.
When considering that the average drug label contains 70 side effects, and have not been thoroughly studied for long-term effects in many cases, it’s easy to see the scientific oddity that exists around the use of non-THC containing hemp (at the very least). Many popular pharmaceuticals have even been found to contain 100 to 125 side effects. Some pharma drugs come with over 525 negative reactions.
As the realization within the United States comes into focus surrounding the practical and health-related uses of marijuana, especially in its ‘no high’ non-THC form that only serves to enhance one’s health and state, it’s becoming more clear than ever that a serious role exists for hemp within the US and beyond.

Marijuana is a drug that is used by organized crime to open the entertainment market for the harder drugs of cocaine,crack and heroin ,that they make far more money on. Keeping marijuana illegal puts access to it in the hands of the criminals who also push the hard addictive drugs along with pot. They control the marijuana supply and cut it off intentionally sometimes to promote the harder drugs as a perceived temporary replacement,hoping to create more addicts. Its the second oldest profession.
do you know what you’re talking abut, or are you just another person regurgitating falsehoods.
That was a rhetoric question…for you in fact DO NOT know what you’re talking about.

hi
Yankee you have no practical experience at all, you’re just spouting what you’ve heard or what you’ve been told. Your claims are ludicrious and have absolutely no scientific or even logical basis. I know people well who have Marijuana for over 20 years. I’ve NEVER touched another drug, besides a drink once in awhile. Pot is the antithesis of hard drugs like cocaine.
Read the story “why are drugs illegal”…..Google it and you will see who the real gangsters are!
If you research with others who are actually using this option to battle cancer, you would see that a 1:1 ratio has increased chances of success with this form of treatment.

Im not quite sure what you are talking about , there has been a lot of movement on legalizing it ESPECIALLY for medical uses. I am a cancer patient out of SOCAL and my doctors at UCLA prescribe it. If it was illegal how could they ?

Then explain Bob Marley ???
Bob Marley only smoked it and we all know that in order to get the cancer killing anti-tumor effects and benefits, it has to be Cannabis oil. Bob Marley got skin cancer on his foot and he refused to use the oil or anything else besides smoking. His reasoning was to leave it up to God to determine if he dies or not.
The only human study so far http://www.nature.com/bjc/journal/v95/n2/full/6603236a.html
So why deny what can help people get better and give them actually poison? Drugs with so many side effects that can kill an elephant? What is the logic behind this?
Money my friend!
It ain’t going to be legal either, because the big pharma companies stand to lose billions of dollarsin revenue from useless treatments and the Gov willlose billions of dollars in taxes! So there you have it!
The stupid Feds wanted something to do after Prohibition ended, so they made up this BS story about how dangerous MJ was and how all the Mexicans were coming over the border to rape our women….hell, they even invented the Mexican sounding name Marijuana!
