Did you know that marijuana kills cancer cells? It actually causes them to eat themselves in a process called "autophage".

Did you know the government knew about it in 1974?

Did you know that the cannabinoid receptor is the most prevalent cellular receptor in our brains?

This mystery began to unravel in 1964, when tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC, the main psychoactive chemical in cannabis was isolated and synthesized by Raphael Mechoulam and colleagues in Israel. Subsequently, in 1988, Allyn Howlett and colleagues discovered the cannabinoid receptor in the brain. This receptor called CB1was a precise match for the unique chemicals called cannabinoids found in the cannabis plant (phytocannabinoids). This initial discovery led to scientists hypothesizing that humans are "wired" for cannabis. The CB1receptors have been found in the brain in areas that control the coordination of movement, emotions, memory, reduction of pain, reward systems, and reproduction, yet are almost absent in the brain stem (which affects our vital functions such as breathing). It appears that cannabinoid receptors, which modulate other neurotransmitter function in a retrograde “on demand” fashion are present in far higher concentrations in the brain than any other receptor. While the CB1 receptors are primarily found in the central nervous system, a second type, CB2, discovered in 1993, are found primarily in the immune system, GI tract, liver, spleen, kidney, bones, heart, and peripheral nervous system. In fact, the CB2 receptor appears to be up-regulated whenever there is tissue pathology.
What do you think about this?
Is it true?
Did the government know?
What do you think about that?
Did you know that the government actually has the patent on medical marijuana… for use in fighting diseases such as cancer, Crohn’s disease, multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer’s disease and more?
And yet they repeatedly say that there is "no medical use" for marijuana.
Look it up. U.S. Patent #6630507
Matt,What do they teach you kids in school these days? You believe that government propaganda?
Did you know that there has not been ONE recorded death from marijuana overdose?? Ever??
Unlike the thousands who die from overdose of prescription drugs every year.
SyQ,That’s the most close-minded, ridiculous answer I’ve ever heard.
Why don’t you look up "endocannabinoid system" and learn what it does before you say anything else. The system of cannabis receptors in your brain and other vital organs is ESSENTIAL TO LIFE. You cannot overdose on marijuana… no matter how much you ingest. Not the same with Cyanide.
In fact, cannabis kills the cancer cells… and leave the healthy cells INTACT. Look it up.
Paul…. a link to prove your one death would be appreciated. The cannabinoid receptors are the most prominent receptors in your brain, but they are completely absent from your brain stem which is why they say you cannot overdose on mj. It is NON-toxic to your system.And as far as "medical advice" goes… I didn’t give any. I just point out FACTS. I didn’t tell anyone to smoke or ingest marijuana… or tell them to use it in any way. I just pointed some FACTS and studies to support my facts.
And I never said that marijuana is "harmless". YOU put those words in my mouth. But, I will say this, since you brought it up… if you aren’t going to drive or operate heavy machinery, marijuana is harmless. Especially compared to all the prescription pharmaceuticals those "M.D’s" you so revere are passing out like candy.
