(Includes 2 videos with instructions for making cancer cure "Hemp Oil")

The ominous part is that this isn’t the first time scientists have discovered that THC shrinks tumors. In 1974 researchers at the Medical College of Virginia, who had been funded by the National Institute of Health to find evidence that marijuana damages the immune system, found instead that THC slowed the growth of three kinds of cancer in mice — lung and breast cancer, and a virus-induced leukemia.

The DEA quickly shut down the Virginia study and all further cannabis/tumor research, according to Jack Herer, who reports on the events in his book, “The Emperor Wears No Clothes“. In 1976 President Gerald Ford put an end to all public cannabis research and granted exclusive research rights to major pharmaceutical companies, who set out — unsuccessfully — to develop synthetic forms of THC that would deliver all the medical benefits without the “high.”

In 1983 the Reagan/Bush Administration tried to persuade American universities and researchers to destroy all 1966-76 cannabis research work, including compendiums in libraries, reports Jack Herer, who states, “We know that large amounts of information have since disappeared.”

The New York Times, Washington Post and Los Angeles Times all ignored the story, even though its newsworthiness is indisputable: a benign substance occurring in nature destroys deadly brain tumors.

    • Let us put it another way. The reason we are more free in the U.S. than any where else in the world is because we stand up for what we believe in. If we start taking lessons from other countries and just decide to "bend over and take it" up the proverbial you-know-where, then we will eventually end up like them -- WITH LESS FREEDOM! Perhaps people that come here from other cultures do not understand that is is our "arrogance" that keeps our government in check. Once we start giving in, we begin to lose all.

    • This was found at Virginia Commonwealth University aka the Medical College of Virginia, which currently has top ranked medical programs, and top notch research. Not the University of Virginia, or as they call it "The University"

      In high school my government teacher asked me where I was going to college, and he replied, "You go to VCU to study smoking pot!" -- This study proves he wasn't lying. LOL

    • As one lookes at a nation that has oppressed its own people through bad policy disinformation , misinformation, psy ops ,and greed and fraud now the integrity of the nation may will be threatened. Thank you to the few brave enough to speak up with thought. Like President Obama response to the prescribe pot question. To paraphrase It is the Doctor's business what to treat the patient with, just as with morphine.
      Wonderful response sir.
      I watched in Russia when the Kremlin tried to call out the army on the people . The Russian General in command of special forces took his men and met the regulars on the highway. Must have went something like go home boys, we got this covered.
      Then he surrounded the Kremlin and after two tank shells let the politicians know what time it was , time to resign.
      Starting to hope we have some Professionals in the ranks here who could if need be uphold the constitution as we who have taken a oath to do, to protect the people and the law, the outcome is a free nation.
      In Thailand the king called out the troops and thy stayed home.
      The king left.
      The military in a free country can do many things to protect their nation,
      There are threats from outside the country, that is without doubt.
      The threats inside the country could be a cartel of companies , media and bought politicians,.When they conspire to put profit ahead of people and in fact cause injury to the people then the line of treason is crossed when at a national scope and intervention on behalf of the people is a must.
      The integrity of the nation and the moral authority of the leaders to govern is a must.So if a large number who ignore studies such as the ones mentioned are thrown out it is a small price compared with the peoples confidence the Government.

    • I still would not mind MMJ access. I, along with many others could use. Yep, anytime now. Thank you, United States of America. Thank you, Federal Government. Thank you, United Nations, thank you World Health Organization. It seems with your great knowledge you fully understand.

      Oh yes, you all fully understand, do you not? Perhaps this is the exact reason it will never be legalized.

    • Do something - visit NORML.org (National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws) and MPP.org (Marijuana Policy Project) sign letters to legislators. Make some noise for legalization. The plurality wants cannabis.

    • bombastinator, everyone has not seen, or heard the information contained in the book, 'The Emperor Wears No Clothes'. It's not OLD NEWS, until it has been heard by the masses. The information contained in the book SHOULD BE HEARD. I'm sorry if it seems as though it is repeated too often, but not everyone has heard, or read the information contained in the book.

      Why would we stop stating facts, before things have changed? Cannabis hemp should not be illegal. People should not be in jail, based on spin and lies. There is enough real crime. There is no need to 'make shit up'.

      I read the book over 20 years ago, but many have never heard the information before. I can't see why you would think it's old news? Things have not changed. Cannabis hemp is still classified the same as heroin. That's just crazy!

    • Of course they buried this information, it would have ruined medicine as we know it. No more profit for pharmaceutical companies and no more donations from people to cure cancer. That stream of cash would have dried up.

    • Is it in the best interest of the Bureau of Oil, Alcohol, Tobacco & Explosives? If not then it becomes illegal and even immoral.

      IMHO hemp is illegal, due to the illegality of cannabis (sweet hemp, as referenced by Abraham Lincoln). In reality any conversation about cannabis, is a conversation about hemp.

    • The problem is that the oil and drug companies see no way to make cash off something that people can grows in a garden. Does this surprise me? No

      basically, no. some argue that the fumes inhaled when smoking marijuana are harmful to the lungs, but there are many ways to avoid this (using vaporizers/bubblers, etc.). furthermore, THC itself is an anti-inflammatory, so I would imagine that pretty much cancels out any effects on the lungs. of course, pregnant women shouldn't smoke...but that's pretty much a given. otherwise, it not only has zero negative effects, it's pretty beneficial. if marijuana wasn't made illegal in the 30's, it'd be a primary health resource today.

      and marijuana has been around since...forever. if there were serious, common negative side effects, I'd imagine we'd know by now.

      the most common negative experience is called a "Whitey". you can get dizzy and nauseous, but it usually cured with a glass of chocolate milk. Try to eat something first to prevent it, and that also might keep the munchies down (no garuntees with the munchies). If all else fails go to sleep and you'll wake fine.

      Also there are bad side effects with adulterated or moldy bud.

    • What the Frak! well I believe now that the government has more blood on their hands if this is true-marginal or solid. I cant imagine what cancer patients or relatives of the decedents would feel if their was comprehensive research-and then shut down for the sake of profit and PR.

    • I think the research needs to start up again. Put those pharceutical companies out of it. Trading something natural for some man made chemicals, shame on Ford.

    • WATCH The Union: The Business Behind Getting High.

      I've never seen the effects of marijuana on a person who suffers from Multiple Sclerosis, but when I saw it, I was convinced. Marijuana can give a quality of life back to people who feel they have none. Plus, it won't kill you. There has NEVER been a reported case of someone who died as a direct result of marijuana usage.

      If you're in America, your free, and generally life is better than anywhere else as far as I've seen. I hate all this complaining shit when there are Prostitution Chains involving half a million underage children in India, a war in the Middle East which involves the killing of innocent people, and if you watch Vanguard, there is communist oppression in Cuba, a situation so bad in southern Italy that people are forced into the drug business to make a living. And Africa. If YOU want something to complain about, it shouldn't be..."OOohh, the big government won't let us have POT." when EVERYONE DOES IT ILLEGALLY ANYWAY!
      Learn to appreciate how fortunate we really are. It could be better, and the great thing about America is, the people can make it better. Not through complaining, through doing.
      We are free.

      Why isn't this news today? Why are they choosing to ignore facts? Money, money, money! Corporations fund political campaigns and no politicians want to give up their 'cash cow'.

      Cannabis hemp would have been a 'cash cow' for Americans. Instead we have pollution, unemployment and more people in prison than any other country in the world. Something is wrong with this picture. Politics over people has gone on long enough.

      Mainstream media chooses to ignore facts, because politicians campaign year round. They don't want to give up their 'cash cow' either. Political campaigns mean money for MSM. Corporations don't want it, politicians don't want it and mainstream media ignores it. Sad, sad, sad.

      People will have to take this into their own hands , the government that was once by and for the people , is clearly compromised by multinational corporations . We are on our own now and must look after each other , very very carefully .
