Smoking Pot May Fight Cancer Growth

These
stories seem to run in bunches….

NEW YORK — People who smoke marijuana may be at less
risk of developing lung cancer than tobacco smokers, according to a study
presented yesterday.

The study of 2,200 people in Los Angeles found that even heavy marijuana
smokers were no more likely to develop lung, head, or neck cancer than
nonusers, in contrast with tobacco users, whose risk increases the more
they smoke.

The findings seemed to be a surprise; marijuana smoke has some of the
same cancer-causing substances as tobacco smoke, often in higher concentrations,
said the senior researcher, Donald Tashkin, a professor at the David
Geffen School of Medicine at the University of California, Los Angeles.
One possible explanation is that THC, or tetrahydrocannabinol, a key
ingredient in marijuana not present in tobacco, may inhibit tumor growth,
he said.

Which must mean that if Bob Marley HADN’T smoked a quarter-kilo
of Ganga a day, he never would have lived long enough to write all those
great Reggae songs…

Now, if we can just find that Willie Nelson story,
we’ll go for the Mary Jane Trifecta after we get back from the Summer
Semester
Startup Meeting….

  34. Hi. It is really sad when uninformed people blindly believe stuff like “this is so fake. marijuana is awful for you, regardless of whether it causes cancer or not. people can be so clueless…”, even after being presented with evidence to the contrary, and this isn’t the only valid study with pro-cannabis findings. I smoke pot daily and haven’t had any significant/longterm negative effects, just positive, such as no longer getting migraines. I somehow managed to “overcome” the supposed loss of motivation, cognitive impairments, relationship problems, and addiction (have quit for several weeks at a time without any withdrawal symptoms and have never used it as a “gateway drug” to others that are actually dangerous) to become a successful professor at a prestigious university and a devoted husband and father. (See link above if you really want to learn about cannabis…)

  35. YEA YOU GUYS SAYS IT WELL.. IF I SHOULD SAY WHAT ON MY MIND I MIGHT GET THE HATERS HER FUCKED BROKEN..

    SO I RESEVERSE WORDS..

  36. pot head boi Says:

    i smoke weed every day sleep all night smok the whole day away dont believe the bull shit ask mc exman. weed is good for ya init boi

  37. I recently quit smoking marijuana, but I do have to agree with this article, they do prescribe medical MJ to cancer patients terminal and non-termina. Marijuana has gotten a bad wrap that people who are to afraid to try it, but they’ll drive drunk and such. Honestly, weed is the stupidest drug, I love it but compared to other drugs this one gets the worst wrap. They should legalize it, I’ve had some good friends, some seriously nice people locked up for possession or intent to sell. But, we have scumbags in capital hill that probably do far worse, Hillary Clinton and John McCain had a vodka drinking contest a few years back and these are the people working to run our country?!? Fuck that seriously. If you don’t smoke MJ well that is your decision and I respect that, just don’t bash anyone else for doing it becuase then you’ll be in the wrong, but for the others that do smoke and have posted negative comments on this site, well you’re not helping either, respect each other reguardless of our differences. Hopefully my words have helped a little.

    Here is a link to a very informative site about the myths of marijuana:

  39. allthechildrenrinsane Says:

    FUCK YEAH WEED CURES EVERYTHING U STUPID ASSES!!!

  40. lol eat shit man thats irrelevant

  41. actually,
    yes. its been shown that marijuana, upon entering the lungs, when it binds onto things, cannot fully bind onto cancerous cells or cells prone to become cancerous (ones that are weak), and since it in incompatible, it kills them. Thus reducing the risk, theoretically.
    There are cancerous-producing items in marijuana, and so it kind of seems like it is helping and hurting at the same time. However, if you vaporize, then you are inhaling no tars/toxins and are just inhaling the THC, in which case I would not be surprised to see a higher resistance to cancer

  42. Marijuana is a beautiful drug, it opens up the mind to so many things. Those of you who think it makes you stupid are just approaching it the wrong way. If you open up your mind you will see how powerful the herb can be for various things, like meditation, relaxation, and meekness. These are all things that are necessary for a better world.

  43. this is a great article. =]

  44. ganja lover Says:

    Marijuana is a miracle drug. It can reduced the speed of blinding Glaucoma, relieve stress, reduce symptoms of OCD and anxiety disorders, provides THE best sleep of your life and relieve pain. People who haven’t tried it at least twice have no grounds from which to criticize. It should definitely be legalized.

    p.s. it also brings all kinds of people together!! Mary Jane is the abassador to the world!!! I think the UN members should burn together.

  46. It makes me laugh all these people saying “thats bullshit”. exactly what are you basing your assumptions on cause it definitely isn’t facts. ok smoking anything is bad for you that is fact but to just sit there and say “thats a load of crap” is just stupid. i think if professors in university’s are taking this seriously and conducting scientific tests then there must be at least a little truth to it all. and as for all you saying smoking marijuana makes you stupid, iv been smoking it for over 14 years, i work for my self, and i earn more money in a week than a lot of people earn in a month. does that sound stupid to you? didn’t think so.

    Sick of cigarettes? find out about Hypnosis for Smoking

  47. OMG! This joint in picture is soooooooo big :D

  48. Now my views may be clouded on this subject, but extensive research has proven that herb has minimally harmful side affects. And who ever said smoking makes you dumb is an idiot. No smoking does not make you dumb being dumb makes you dumb you ignorant child. Herb brings out your true self nothing else. So if you were dumb before you smoked you are damn sure gonna be stupid after.

  49. mari all da way Says:

    Pot is good stuff

  50. i smoked weed foe 6 years to help sleep,quit 10 mounths ago and suffered with really bad insomnia,was put on all sorts of tablets,antidepressants,sleeping tablets that i got addicited to,diazapam.my life was a mess,i was so ill i couldnt look after my kids let alone sleep and eat.antidepressants and sleeping tablets are bad news.i think they fuck your head up big style.weed never did that.an now going to start smokeing weed again as my life was great when i did and my sleep was great.doctors talk shit and give u crap that will fuck u up.theres nothing wrong with weed.i think its a cure for lots of people.

  51. Headaches, stomach aches, and insomnia are things that almost everyone can relate to that MJ helps relieve. It is time we get past the “this is your brain; this is your brain on drugs” propaganda and stereotypes and take a serious look at medical marijuana.

  52. this is for matt if u was a real hustler u wouldnt be flashin it like that talkin bout guns and shit and you dumb ass fuck who puts there number on an open post talkin bout i got that good shit ……wangsta…..b real if u got connect and custies u dont need to b sponsering yo shit like that fake ass nigga

  53. hu gives a fuk smoke it all day =] i doooooo tis gud shit m8

  54. wtf i quit smokin for six weeks not because it’s bad for me but cause i’,m broke nothin really been goin on

  55. i run three miles every. i run track. i’m eighteen and in perfect health. i’m a senior in high school with a B average. i have a job. i’ve already applied and been accepted into three colleges. i scored a 27 on my act. i smoke about a quarter ounce a day. but yeah, you’re right, marijuana is a horrible drug that makes you melt away your life. i used to smoke cigarettes, for two years i did. i would get out of breath running up stairs or just from light work. i quit two years ago and started smoking pot more frequently to subside my smoking habits and my lungs function without severe strain. the amount of damage done to the lungs isn’t severe enough for the government to strip us of our rights to our free will on how we treat our bodies. they can’t prohibit it on health risk because it isn’t a risk. cigarettes are legal yet worse than marijuana? and carry a larger risk of dependancy than marijuana ever could? there has never been one reported death from the use of marijuana. i’m glad the government doesn’t realize that bud has been around since day one on this earth no matter how old the earth is. people will always smoke. just get over it and let me smoke.
