THC prevents cancer
This study echoes the findings of a 1994 US study, which documented that THC may protect against malignant cancers. The $2 million federal study involved injecting rats and mice in the stomach with extremely high doses of THC, hoping to find a connection between THC and cancer.
What the researchers found was exactly the opposite of what the feds had hoped for. Their study showed that rats given high doses of THC suffered from fewer cancers than their non-injected pals. The feds buried the study for almost 3 years, and it became known only after it was leaked to AIDS Treatment News in January of 1997. The Boston Globe broke the story nationwide days later.
Anandamide fights breast cancer
Another study, published in the July, 1998 Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, found that anandamide, a molecule which resembles cannabinoids but is formed naturally in the body, can inhibit the growth of breast cancer cells by interfering with their DNA production cycle. The study was done by the Italian National Institute for the Chemistry of Biological Systems, in Naples.
The amounts of THC used in these studies were all hundreds or even thousands of times greater than that found in the blood of even the heaviest cannabis users.

^- Taken from another article, the treatment wouldn't be smoking a joint but the fact that the THC has these effects and the D.E.A still considers this medicine a priority 1 drug is bullshit. |
