The cannabinoids inside the cannabis flower have been proven to cause apoptosis (programmed cell death) in cancerous and pre-cancerous cells.
Government agencies have known about cannabis’ cancer treatment potential since 1974 when researchers at the Medical College of Virginia in the US found that it slowed the growth of 3 types of cancer in mice lung cancer, breast cancer, and a virus-induced leukemia.
Now I ask… imagine if you were one of the big pharmaceutical industry companies. Would you like to be competing with a natural plant that can be grown almost anywhere at relatively low cost?
Here is a video to Rick Simpson’s movie Run from the Cure. He is credited for RE-discovering the cure.
Not only this, but the cannabis sativa plant was originally used by Henry Ford to power his original vehicles with non-polluting efficient fuel. It doesn’t stop here! 1 acre of hemp can produce around the same amount of paper as 4 acres of trees!
Do you not think it would be profitable for big business worldwide to keep this plant illegal? With the ability to produce Food/Medicine/Clothes/Fuel & much more?
In 1984 Popular Mechanics wrote an article claiming hemp as a billion dollar crop. Imagine what it would be worth today!The UK seems to be in a state of reefer madness propaganda. Part of this is the habit of calling all high strength strains of cannabis “skunk” whilst skunk is one of hundreds of strains and is not the strongest by far.
There seems to be some belief that using this high strength cannabis can lead to psychosis. This has been recently disproven by Lynn DeLisi, MD, Professor of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School who are quoted as saying
"In summary, we conclude that cannabis does not cause psychosis by itself. In genetically vulnerable individuals, while cannabis may modify the illness onset, severity and outcome, there is no evidence from this study that it can cause the psychosis."
For more in depth information on cannabis as a whole and its history I recommend you watch this film.
