Research Suggests Cannabis Cures?

(UPDATE 04/02/2014 - The Metro brought balance to their coverage by publishing letters today from Prof. David Nutt (see picture below) and other readers on the subject of the risks of cannabis. The ISCD will continue to make such media interventions where a scientific perspective is needed, but we rely on your continued support to do so. Thanks for your  donations ; the more we receive the more resources we will be able to dedicate to this aspect of our work.) Today, the front page headline on the Metro newspaper read “ The tragic proof that cannabis can kill ”. Perhaps this splash might lead to some family conversations about drugs. If so, it would be useful now to consider what the sad case of one young mother who died after smoking cannabis can tell us about the dangers of cannabis. I think the answer is nothing. If this upsetting story does at least prod parents into talking to their kids about drugs I hope they might discuss just how to sceptically evaluate and make ...

However, his doctor had him put on a transplant list and within the year he successfully underwent liver transplant surgery. His doctor pronounced him cancer free and Mike was out of the woods, or so he thought. “Do I become a good citizen and die or a criminal and live?” – Mike Cutler Unfortunately, by late 2012 Mike was feeling really bad and soon learned that the liver cancer had returned with a vengeance and was attacking his new liver. His doctors gave him little hope and sent him home to die with a bag of morphine to manage his excruciating pain. His health deteriorated until he was bedridden. He tried many things to reverse his cancer but nothing worked. Bottom ...

(TRFW News) The term spasticity refers to the involuntary muscle contractions that lead to spasms and stiffness, and that are usually consistent with brain trauma or neurological disorders that affect myelin sheaths in the brain. More commonly, spasticity is a poorly manageable symptom of multiple sclerosis. While dietary improvements, exercise and medication may help with mild-to-moderate movement impairment, one’s chances of recovery depend on a multitude of factors, including the intensity of the symptoms, and their underlying causes. Study shows that cannabis works against spasticity A clinical crossover study published in May 2012, and carried out by researchers at the University of California, San Diego , found that cannabis was superior to placebo in reducing pain and spasticity associated with multiple sclerosis. For their trial, the researchers used a group of MS sufferers, who were asked to consume either cannabis or a place...
