Research Suggests Cannabis Cures?

RESULTS: Thirty-seven participants were randomized at the start of the study, 30 of whom completed the trial. Treatment with smoked cannabis resulted in a significant reduction in spasticity using an objective clinician-rated measure. The placebo-controlled trial also resulted in reduced perception of pain, although participants also reported short-term, adverse cognitive effects and increased fatigue. No serious adverse events occurred during the trial. The full results of this study can be found here .http://www.cmaj.ca/content/early/2012/05/14/cmaj.110837 ABSTRACT: Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is the most common debilitating neurologic disease of young people, affecting at least 250,000 persons in the US, often between the ages of 20 and 40. Symptom manifestation varies considerably from person to person; however, one frequently noted concomitant is spasticity, which causes pain, spasms, loss of function and difficulties in nursing care. The present application is designed to expl

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the use of a vaporization system (the Volcano; VAPORMED® Inhalatoren) as a “smokeless” delivery system for inhaled marijuana. The study looked at heating marijuana to form a vapor and then comparing drug levels in the blood to those obtained from smoking an identical amount of marijuana from a cigarette. In addition, we compared the tolerability of the two methods and measured expired carbon dioxide to evaluate whether the vaporizer reduces exposure to respiratory toxins. Eighteen healthy subjects were recruited and admitted to the inpatient ward of the General Clinical Research Center (GCRC) at San Francisco General Hospital to investigate the delivery of marijuana by vaporization compared to marijuana smoked in a standard cigarette. One dose (1.7, 3.4, or 6.8% tetrahydrocannabinol) and delivery system (smoked marijuana cigarette or vaporization system) was randomly assigned for each of the six study days. The analysis suggests that the

Treatment options for neuropathic pain have limited efficacy and use is fraught with dose-limiting adverse effects. The endocannabinoid system has been elucidated over the last several years, demonstrating a significant interface with pain homeostasis. Exogenous cannabinoids have been demonstrated to be effective in a range of experimental neuropathic pain models, and there is mounting evidence for therapeutic use in human neuropathic pain conditions. This article reviews the history, pharmacologic development, clinical trials results, and the future potential of nonsmoked, orally bioavailable, nonpsychoactive cannabinoids in the management of neuropathic pain http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25160710?dopt=Abstract http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19789075

The full results of this study appear in the February 13, 2007 issue of the journal Neurology . Below is a brief summary of these results. Dr. Abrams and the Community Consortium conducted a study to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of smoked marijuana to treat pain caused by HIV-related peripheral neuropathy (injury to the nerves that supply feelings to your arms and feet). The study evaluated whether marijuana had an effect on pain relief. Marijuana was compared to a placebo; a cigarette that smells and tastes like marijuana but has no active ingredients (THC). The study evaluated both ongoing neuropathic pain (clinical pain) and temporary pain induced by applying heat and capsaicin (ingredient that makes red peppers hot) cream to a small area of the skin (experimental pain). Fifty-five patients were randomized and 50 completed the entire trial. Smoked marijuana reduced daily pain by 34% compared to 17% with placebo. The study concluded that 52% of patients who smoked m

Husbands and wives who frequently smoke cannabis are less likely to engage in domestic violence than those who consume the drug less regularly, a new study has suggested. So that once again proves cannabis should be controlled & regulated like alcohol. to save our communities from further destruction. Research on the association between marijuana use and intimate partner violence (IPV) has generated inconsistent findings, and has been primarily based on cross-sectional data. We examined whether husbands’ and wives’ marijuana use predicted both husbands’ and wives’ IPV perpetration over the first 9 years of marriage (Wave 1, n = 634 couples). We also examined moderation by antisocial behavior, the spouse’s marijuana use, and whether IPV was reported during the year before marriage. These predictive associations were calculated using a time-lagged multivariate generalized multilevel model, simultaneously estimating predictors of husband and wife IPV. In fully adjusted models, we

Cannabis is healing humans suffering from cancer. International Journal of Cancer November 2007 The cannabinoid δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol inhibits RAS-MAPK and PI3K-AKT survival signalling and induces BAD-mediated apoptosis in colorectal cancer cells Abstract Deregulation of cell survival pathways and resistance to apoptosis are widely accepted to be fundamental aspects of tumorigenesis. As in many tumours, the aberrant growth and survival of colorectal tumour cells is dependent upon a small number of highly activated signalling pathways, the inhibition of which elicits potent growth inhibitory or apoptotic responses in tumour cells. Accordingly, there is considerable interest in therapeutics that can modulate survival signalling pathways and target cancer cells for death. There is emerging evidence that cannabinoids, especially Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), may represent novel anticancer agents, due to their ability to regulate signalling pathways critical for cell growth and

Educate the nation - Cannabis is the miracle herb - Grows here for us to use to its full potential Keep informing yourself of the benefits of Hemp/Cannabis and share what you learn. Overgrow the world fuel fibers foods....the list goes on it also gets you high Puff Puff Pass Have you ever seen the movie "Pay It Forward"? (watch it if you haven't) It's about a kid who got the bright idea that he could make a positive change in the world by helping a few people, instructing them to help others, and they then are instructed to help others... rinse & repeat. Great inspiring story! This is a grassroots movement (pun intended). There is power in us little-folks. Look at what can happen when we "little guys" pool our tiny resources together. Regardless of what you may think of Obama now, remember, he got to become President of the United States of America by the collective voices and tiny campaign contributions by all the common citizens.

An excellent documentary you all must try & view “Clearing the Smoke – The Science of Cannabis” reveals how cannabis acts on the brain and in the body to treat nausea, pain, epilepsy and potentially even cancer. Extensive interviews with patients, doctors, researchers and skeptics detail the promises and the limitations of medicinal cannabis. Even though the video has an American perspective, marijuana use is illegal throughout many countries of the world for reasons that are not clear. This video is important because it mainly investigates the scientific basis underlying the medical benefits of marijuana use instead of focusing on the social, political and legal hysteria that have been attached to it.

The war on drugs was launched in 1970s to reduce drug consumption, Reduce addiction reduce the amount of drugs on the streets, yet here we are 2014 Drugs on every street corner and the laws seem to love it as they are hooked on the money made from humans been convicted. The war on drugs is basically ruining humans life's & the system is set up to trap youths from a young age. They are not fighting a war on drugs they are fighting lower class humans like you & me. They don't want the drugs of the streets as they need you to fill there prison systems. Safety must come first an if drugs were legal well they couldn't get any safer - or could they big  Pharma been killing humans for years nobody says anything. One person overdoses on some dodgy street cocaine everyone goes anti drug insane. Illegality of anything only increases the price so they win yet again, as you are hooked on there very expensive drugs with serious consequences  if you are caught. Yes here i

Rick Simpson is a man from Canada who has been known to make an oil from Cannabis an it literally has been curing humans on this planet of ours, Due to the illegality of this plant he was raided by the feds & a lot of the crop was removed, I believe he is known in Czech Republic hiding out with a cure. That they don't really want out here. check out the documentary below... The story really begins in 1969 when Rick Simpson's 22-year-old cousin was diagnosed with cancer. The doctors did an operation, and then afterwards they give him chemo. He dropped from 200 pounds down to 120 pounds. Three years later, in 1972, he came home on vacation. They were talking one day and he collapsed right in front of Simpson. He suspected it was probably the cancer back, but he was hoping it wasn't. As soon as he went in to seeing the doctors, they just said, "You've got three to six months to live." Within three months he was dead. Simpson watched him get down to about

The war on drugs make humans look weak , It was enforced way before there was even synthetic drugs yet drugs became more popular & more readily available soon as it was enforced, Don't you think its time for change?  How would Earth be today if the war on drugs was never introduced?? Stop arresting drug dealers & leave those users alone . Save some sick humans visit other planets just let the drugs be as they are.... EndTheStigma   http://www.breakingthetaboo.info/

Hemp seems to be the answer to our problems with natural resources, Yet it seems the world governments are still ignoring this. It makes no sense to not be growing Hemp worldwide in our struggling Economy. Hemp For Fabrics, Hemp For Fuels , Hemp For Fiber the proof is out there. Farmers need to wake up an use this sustainable crop which grows faster than cotton & most other crops, It also could save the rain forests yet we continue to chop down trees in there many thousands. Wake up to the real key part to Cannabis which is Hemp the super plant. With over 25,000 products which can be made solely from hemp is it not strange to you in this day & age , that us humans are not freely growing this epic herb hemp. From lip balm to the clothes on your back. It works and one time on this planet it was the number 1 cash source. Cannabis/Hemp 80% of all textiles, fabrics, clothes, linen, drapes, bed sheets, etc. were made from hemp until the Cotton Gin was invented in the 1820s.

When it comes down to finding a missing child or protecting a law abiding citizen , Police are needed what ever the occasion. My point is why have the world chasing down Cannabis plants when really they are not killing anyone. If they stop seizing Cannabis/Marijuana surely they could use the extra numbers to find the missing humans on this planet. Or maybe prevent some other terrible crimes. The whole war on drugs is a complete fail & we do not live in the 60s anymore its 2014 and yet the world continues to abide by the Marijuana Tax Act 1937 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marihuana_Tax_Act_of_1937 This act is so outdated and if things don't change soon it may be too late , think of our natural resources on Earth they are running out - Think of all the deaths every where from Pharmaceuticals worldwide daily. Yet we have this healing herb BANNED, makes no sense - Hemp another source of Cannabis less THC can be used to create oils, food, clothing an much more. If big Pharma
