No, its not a miracle drug. And to take it, thinking it is would be a terribly sad thing. There are no miracle drugs.

Well some MORON in here once suggested using Cannabis Oil on a brain tumor so...

Like any medication, more is not better. Especially those that impact body and mind.

I'd be super happy with being able to pop THC-A as a pill or capsule. No buzz just pure antiinflammatory goodness without ulcers or liver damage.

Try asking a stoner if he would be OK with taking the "high" out of weed and just using the medicinal parts.

I think you just insulted Twila, at least twice. What it looks like to me is that you were in such a hurry to dump on me with a very unoriginal dis, that you totally ignored the feelings of others. Isn't that stupid? You were wrong about my mind as well. I just had three very nice painrelieving bowles of nice kush that killed rotator cuff pain that three Tylenol 3 didn't even scratch. My mind is just fine thanks. Try using yours to better effect you're wasteing it here. And develope some manners you rude lout.

would that involve opening up the skull cap and massaging it directly onto the brain? It would be cool to see but suck to have done.

Unfortunately there are some very irresponsible people who like to take advantage of those who are afraid and or dying to sell them snake oil. Cancer is such a complicated disease. Depending on what cells are effected by it, what areas those cells may have migrated to and what those cells do when normal affect the types of treatments. There is nothing that cures cancer. There is only drugs to kill all the cells in the area including the healthy.

Smoking pot doesn't kill your liver like drinking alcohol, true enough. But smoking pot can kill your lungs. Eat it instead. Lungs are not built to handle large amounts of foreign substances and stomachs are built to withstand toxins and stuff to a much larger degree.

I agree with you. For me, 2 tokes is plenty to regain the focus ADHD takes away. More then that and it's a different ball game.

I've noticed that a lot of pot users will almost turn themselves inside out in order to justify using the stuff. A few folks tend to use the stuff sparingly.

Current research shows that the smoke from pot acts as a anti-inflammatory to the lungs.

Clean, properly grown weed. I wouldn' put 75% of what is out there into the respiratory anti inflammatory league.

Well, I suppose there may indeed be some good qualities, but in general, lungs simply do not like particulates.

What vilification? Pretty much everyone in this neck of Canada uses it. And the only vilification you might find around here is cops going after large-scale, illegal grow ops.

Cancer is not a disease so it cannot be cured but it can be wiped out.
Nobody sells more snakeoil than big pharma. Count the big boats and fast cars. CBD kills cancer cells and does not affect tissue adversly at all.

How do you deliver the cbds in an effective way?

Eating them or smoking them works for me. An hour ago I was in very bad pain and now I'm not and I can extend that relief for days with an occassional puff or two. Of course it depends on the species and quality.
Of course if I hadn't picked up the 351 crank two days ago and carried it accross the yard to the lab I wouldn't have needed to take the horrible socially destructive family crashing expensive dangrous drug.
I am stupid but not stupid enough to not recognize real pain relief.

that's the thing. It can't be wiped out. What ever caused your cells to turn cancerous is still there. The switch has been thrown. Current drugs are unable to differentiate between cancer cells and bystander cells. There is always collateral damage.

ALthough they are working on micro delivery systems so they can "program" the medicine to affect ONLY the cancerous cells. That's amazing.

Safe effectly non deliterious pharmasuetical synthetics may never be developed. There is no modern lab has a chance in hell of ever competeing with mother natures lab.
