Cannabis Kills All Known Germs..Dead..including MRSA superbug
MRSA (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus) is a type of bacteria which has become increasingly resistant to antibiotics. MRSA infection has become increasingly difficult to treat, and can lead to death.
The number of cases of MRSA has been rising sharply - from 2,422 in 1997 in England and Wales, to 7,684 in 2003/4 in England alone. Official figures show that about 15% of reported MRSA cases result in death.
Disinfectant - A Huge Market
UK Children of the 70's and the 80's will be well familiar with the famous Domestos bleach TV adverts which ran for a couple of decades.
Domestos..Kills all known germs..Dead!
Much as they do today, animated germs and bugs ran riot across our screens (and down our toilet bowls), and the unbeatable bleach product would swing in as our saviour, and that of our families and young children.
Today, disinfectant is a huge consumer market, which sees shoppers spending millions of pounds sterling every year on liquid for the toilet, for the kitchen sink, and of course, the new generation of bleach/disinfectant wipes and sprays, used to protect our families from cross-contamination on the kitchen work-tops and food preparation areas.
If only we could kill germs and bugs as efficiently in our hospitals, right? Well apparently we can, according to a study which says Cannabis has shown "Exceptional" antibacterial activity against MRSA.
But the truth is no-one wants us to know about it. At the behest of a government which is dead set against any positive news regarding cannabis being released for general consumption, the press simply refuses to tell us about it.
But thankfully thats not the case in America.

Dr. Robert Melamede, PhD., Director and Chief Science Officer for American based Cannabis Science Inc, reported recently on the current state of research into the use of natural plant cannabinoids to reduce the spread of drug-resistant bacteria, including methicillin-resistant Staphyloccus aureus (MRSA), and the prospects for development of topical whole-cannabis treatments.
According to studies published in the Journal of the American Medical Association and by the Center for Disease Control in 2007, MRSA is responsible for more than 18,500 hospital-stay related deaths each year, and increased direct healthcare costs of as much as $9.7 billion.
Dr. Melamede stated, “Research into use of whole cannabis extracts and multi-cannabinoid compounds has provided the scientific rationale for medical marijuana’s efficacy
in treating some of the most troubling diseases mankind now faces".
"Infectious diseases such as the flu and HIV, autoimmune diseases such as ALS (Lou Gehrig’s Disease), multiple sclerosis, arthritis, and diabetes".
Amazingly this also includes neurological conditions such as Alzheimer’s, stroke and brain injury, as well as numerous forms of cancer.
"One common element of these diseases", continues Dr Melamede, "is that patients often suffer extended hospital stays, risking development of various Staphyloccus infections including MRSA".
"A topical, whole-cannabis treatment for these infections is a functional complement to our cannabis extract-based lozenge.”
Investigators at Italy's Universita del Piemonte Orientale and Britain's University of London, School of Pharmacy reported in the Journal of Natural Products that five cannabinoids - THC, CBD, CBG, CBC, and CBN - "showed potent antibacterial activity" and "exceptional" antibacterial activity against two epidemic MRSA occurring in UK hospitals.

The authors concluded: "Although the use of cannabinoids as systemic antibacterial agents awaits rigorous clinical trials, … their topical application to reduce skin colonization by MRSA seems promising. … Cannabis sativa … represents an interesting source of antibacterial agents to address the problem of multidrug resistance in MRSA and other pathogenic bacteria."
But as was mentioned at the start of this article, for some reason the British government, backed up by the press, would rather we never got hear about it. Now why would that be do you think?

Cannabis Compounds Reduce Multi-Drug Resistant Infections
Study Says Cannabinoids Show "Exceptional" Antibacterial Activity Against MRSA
SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Cannabis Science, Inc. (OTCBB: GFON).

At least gradually. -
Great news!

We've already had gradually. I've been waiting for the powers that be to figure this out for 40 years. The only thing wrong with cannabis is the prohibition against it. The only harm being done is being done by the prohibition; not by the substance.
As soon as we can force our legislators to open BOTH eyes and actually look beyond their nose maybe they'll finally give up this stupidity.
Repeal the prohibition. Let the states and the citizens in them decide for themselves. As a nation we have bigger fish to fry than to continue to throw money and resources in a useless attempt to stop people from pursuing a harmless pass time. The federal govt's obsession with trying to stop this is a waste of time & effort. May as well try & stop the tide.
Let my people go !!
-
One more reason to legalize, when are they going to realize?
-
It kills the drive to accomplish anything too.
'cept for the profoundly dogged pot grower, maybe.
So, it only pushes off greed until at least the smoker can become ambulatory.But everything else just s-l-o-w-s down to a stop.
Right?
-
Thats why I smoke two joints in the morning...then I smoke two joints at night. I smoke two joints in the afternoon it makes me feel alright...

Cannabis is not legal because it will give too much power to the people . We may have to force our own government to legalize it . If monsanto could patent it , it would be legal already . The government does not seem to be following our instructions .
-
Sad but true it's never gonna happen. There are over 20,000 products that can be made from Hemp. We could fucking never cut another tree down for paper. If we simply switch to hemp based paper products. They won't even do that, and you exspect them to legalize a Plant for human health...LMAO

The idea that pot makes people lazy and unproductive is a piss-poor reason for banning.

There is still that 'Reefer Madness' thing if you remember that movie. You are healthy but insane.
Um, insane and stoned is okay, right? :)
-
Strange how conservatives are unable to recognize actual miracles.
-
It's not a conservative or liberal thing, it's a brain wash thing!
That movie, "Reefer Madness" states that marijuana is just as addictive as heroin! REALLY?? That's why we always see stoners half-dead, selling their souls and stealing from their families just to obtain some little crumb to inject before starting the process over again?
Stop hurting our future with brain-washed ideas that were seeded in the 40's and 50's! We know better now, we have advanced in science and medicine and we need to be mature enough to admit we made an uneducated mistake in the past and change that mistake before we miss out on another 50 years of helpful medicines, medical breakthroughs, dependance on trees for paper, gas for vehicles, etc.!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Let's use the resources the earth provides for us! They're here, are we smart enough to use them?

score another one for the super plant!!!

How can we force our own government to make this legal ? The evidence is overwhelming . What will it take ? Weed plants growing from sea to shining sea ? Frustration .

People with voices, which can be heard must come out of the closet and speak up. It's going to take courage. Many more Americans are finding the courage to speak up. It will take people who have the opportunity to speak via mainstream media to make it mainstream. People are interviewed every day. If they control the conversation with fact, the spinners would be forced to at least stop lying about cannabis hemp, it has real documented history.

That's what you guys ought to do, put a signature campaign to get California Constitutional amendment to legalize pot for personal use.
If they can pass their anti-gay marriage law, you can tell them you're gonna smoke pot. -
I loved being part of the democratic process for decriminalizing MJ in Massachusetts. After collecting enough signatures the 2d time around, the "reeferendum" was placed on the Nov. ballot & easily passed by a 2 - 1 margin. An informed & determined electorate made it clear that they have had it with the absurdity of an herb being illegal & its users criminals. When will the feds learn that gov’t can’t legislate human behavior, as the utter failure of Prohibition has shown? With 13 states down & 37 to go, Obama would much rather see states take responsibility for issues like this, preserving federal resources for far more important & urgent matters facing our nation & the world.
This is just one more example of civilized & sane progress, giving people the right to use a (medicinal) herb proven far safer than alcohol & cigarettes and particularly Big Pharma prescription drugs - let alone a laundry list of the DEA’s & FDA’s complete & utter failure for the care & safety of the citizens the agency was established to protect. The legal system can now focus on the serious criminals, crimes & dangerous drugs that are far more important to society’s safety & welfare. Our gov't has been pushing alcohol, cigarettes & dangerous Rxs on us for far too long because of the enormous profits, tax revenues generated & intrinsic population control measures.
If you don’t like it, don’t use it & stay out of my business. Life’s too short – Lighten Up!
