Cannabinoids May Inhibit Cancer Cell Invasion
    #7802926 - 12/27/07 04:25 AM (16 years, 1 month ago)

ScienceDaily (Dec. 27, 2007) — Cannabinoids may suppress tumor invasion in highly invasive cancers, according to a study published online December 25 in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute.

Cannabinoids, the active components in marijuana, are used to reduce the side effects of cancer treatment, such as pain, weight loss, and vomiting, but there is increasing evidence that they may also inhibit tumor cell growth. However, the cellular mechanisms behind this are unknown.

Robert Ramer, Ph.D., and Burkhard Hinz, Ph.D., of the University of Rostock in Germany investigated whether and by what mechanism cannabinoids inhibit tumor cell invasion.

Cannabinoids did suppress tumor cell invasion and stimulated the expression of TIMP-1, an inhibitor of a group of enzymes that are involved in tumor cell invasion.

“To our knowledge, this is the first report of TIMP-1-dependent anti-invasive effects of cannabinoids. This signaling pathway may play an important role in the antimetastatic action of cannabinoids, whose potential therapeutic benefit in the treatment of highly invasive cancers should be addressed in clinical trials,” the authors write.

That's pretty magical. So the same chemical that works like an insect repellent, also works on tumours (there's an older article about the dosal effects of cannabis on lung tumours in rats), yet has no deleterious effects on us. Except the fear.

okay when will this news be subjected to the people on commercials ,over the radio ,t.v. and also the thousands of other uses for the plant known as cannabis that we would benefit from like making gas for cars and even biodegradable plastics to clothes rope and cannabis is the most nutritional vegetative plant in the world it has the most essential amino acids to all omega fats 3,6 and 9 and an abundance of other nutrients. so when will this info be widespread I hope it's soon becuase there's people suffering and dying from chemo treatment but dont have a clue of what cannabis can do for them like CURE CANCER or they were convinced it's a horrible plant that the devil made or something of that brainwashing nature brought on by the gov. they would rather pump you full of pills they made that gives them money and you start having side effects more pills more money more money more money you see it's a money thing not a feeling of helping or potentially saving a life they honestly dont care as long as there pockets are fat there pleased the moral of this is society is truly heartbreaking to me I dont know about others but people dying everywhere for money is dreadful.

Um... and why do you need to make your mom understand? :strokebeard:
Are you underage or just need to have mom's approval? :lol:

Kickass.

One more point for marijuana. I'll laugh if they find out it's very useful in preventing the growth of cancer, while cigarettes cause it!

Yup :smile:

Im interested to know whether those cannabinoids can counteract the effects of all the carcinogenic substances that you inhale when you smoke cannabis.

"The finest emotion of which we are capable is the mystic emotion. Herein lies the germ of all art and all true science. Anyone to whom this feeling is alien, who is no longer capable of wonderment and lives in a state of fear is a dead man. To know that what is impenatrable for us really exists and manifests itself as the highest wisdom and the most radiant beauty, whose gross forms alone are intelligible to our poor faculties - this knowledge, this feeling ... that is the core of the true religious sent iment. In this sense, and in this sense alone, I rank myself amoung profoundly religious men."

Apparently so, at least according to this study done last year.
