U.S. just admitted that cannabis DOES kill cancer cells
http://metro.co.uk/2015/08/20/america-just-admitted-that-cannabis-does-kill-cancer-cells-5351845/
Conspiracy theorists have been saying it all along – but cannabis does apparently kill cancer cells. That’s according to the US government, which has added a page on the use of cannabis and cannabinoids to their official cancer advice website. The National Cancer Institute, part of the US Department of Health, now advises that ‘cannabinoids may be useful in treating the side effects of cancer and cancer treatment’ by smoking, eating it in baked products, drinking herbal teas or even spraying it under the tongue. The site also lists other uses including: Anti-inflammatory activity, blocking cell growth, preventing the growth of blood vessels that supply tumours, antiviral activity and relieving muscle spasms caused by multiple sclerosis. The information page also explains how cancer cells in mice were killed when exposed to cannabis. Several scientific studies have suggested this in the past, and in April this year the US government’s National Institute on Drug Abuse revised their publications to suggest cannabis could shrink brain tumours by killing off cancer cells. There are now two FDA approved medications for cancer patients available in the US which contain cannabinoids. In the UK THC is in prescribed drug Sativex but is not yet considered useful on a wider basis for medical purposes. Now America has said it, perhaps Britain may follow suit soon.
In case you don't believe it, on the link to cancer.gov mentioned in the article on the 10th bullet point down it reads "Cannabis has been shown to kill cancer cells in the laboratory."

hopefully it pushes thing forward here in the uk as our government got out of it last time by saying they will investigate other countries and the affect of legalization there and also medical evidence.
the pressure is building and the movement is growing, i dont thinlk it can be stopped now. its a matter of time till its global imo
now they have to at least acknowledge medical uses and rights to use!! how can they deprive and say to someone they cant grow and consume a plant that will help them!!
its like being told to go sit in a corner and suffer even though you could treat yourself AND at no cost to the NHS !! win win
and think of all the people on benefits who could have a recognised job growing to treat patients!! win win
and no longer will the lower classes be in poverty because of cannabis use. they can produce there own much cheaper. protecting the vulnerable. and keeps people away from blackmarket dealers. win win
and all the money spent will boost the ecomomy instaed of going into the black market!! recovering debt and paying for services needed! win win
the list goes on and on!! benefits are huge and with no real draw backs as lets face it we will smoke if its legal or not!! nothing will get worse by legalizing it
anyway we are 1 step closer as kanavape is on sale with no problems so more and more will come with time!!

That's fantastic. Hopefully this will also lead to the development of more affordable and effective treatments for cancer patients as well.
Here's the link on the cancer.gov website mentioning cannabinoid benefits

Cannabis has been shown to kill cancer cells in the laboratory(see Question 6).
also another link on anti-tumor activity

Good stuff!

I hope all the close minded fools over the years who tried to say cannabis is not a miracle plant and could not help with or "cure" cancer read this...
I would pay money to see their faces right about now, it must be glorious.

They'll cook up more anti-pot propaganda regardless of the facts.

The UK has been on that skunk and psychosis thing for decades. Here in the US any anti-pot political speak is seen as a joke.

Good, now all the dipshits here who claim it's not scientifically proven or recognized by state and/or feds can all shut up.
Outside of that, good, I'm glad progress is being made.
As chronic (yes pun) pain patients, medical marijuana is one of the main reasons why we are moving to a med state. Can finally live our lives like we used to. My muscle spasms shut off in like 5 minutes or 10 minutes after smoking and doesn't kill my liver.
It's about time sick people worse off than us can have a much better shot in the near future.

Is there a patent on THC or CBD?

From here and some other info.
Patent No. 6630507, held by the United States Department of Health and Human Services, covers the use of cannabinoids for treating a wide range of diseases.
Under U.S. federal law, marijuana is defined as having no medical use. So it might come as a surprise to hear that the government owns one of the only patents on marijuana as a medicine.
The patent (US6630507) is titled “Cannabinoids as antioxidants and neuroprotectants” and was awarded to the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) in October 2003.
It was filed four years earlier, in 1999, by a group of scientists from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), which is part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH).

i guess they should be sued then since they are locking people up for having it schedule I when they are admitting its not a schedule I.
at anyrate this is all obviously lies from the gov, they never tell the truth remember? so cannabis must cause cancer or some shit and they just found out

I'd say it's a damn sight closer than before, eh?

The government admitted that cannabis kills cancer. It's relevant to the scheduling status, don't you think? It doesn't have to literally meet the DEA's test to be heartening. We'll get there.
