Clagar,

if you think pot will cure terminal cancer, you are an idiot.

yeah i'd have to agree some of that is an overstatement. you're not an idiot though.. Cannabis has been shown to have positive therapeutic effects for some of those illnesses but calling it a cure cannot be supported by research.

@Guyatthebusstation i am talking about the oil... it has and it will!

The essential fatty acids are superior at turning off cancer . I do not know if they always work , I have read the research of a doctor in germany who has claimed to have cured over 8000 patients with EFAs from flax combined with a sulfur based protein (to aid in absorption ) . Hemp has a chemical makeup for this process similar to flax . Combined with the fact that humans evolved with this plant , for at least the last 6000 YEARS . I wish I had access to the oil myself .

"as cheap as corn ( 2 ounces of hemp oil over course of 1-3 months cures terminal cancer in anyone, and only costs 75cents- 1USD to make)"

That is one of the main reasons as to why it isn't legal. Drug companies and doctors make far too much money poisoning people with artificial chemicals and radiation.

cannabinoids promote unhealthy cells to die (cancer) not that it is a sure fire way to cure cancer, but its something.

@guy - actually marijuana has been shown to shrink cancerous tumors and it's also used in the treatment of side effects for terminal cancer treatments, like the nausea from Chemo and stuff like that.

There has to be a lot more research done, but if you google the studies done by Harvard John Hopkins and other Universities I think you will be surprised to see the results are in line with Calgar's ideas, even if we can't call it a "cure" yet.

valid concern, definitely.
It may come as temporary relief from his aggressiveness but his parents should be thinking about the long term and how the weed will effect his developing brain.
Yes it calmed him down but after he grows a tolerance to the dose he will need more and he could soon be on a road to abuse, especially if he has learning difficulties and emotional problems.

Up to 45 minutes no more than one hour. you will start to feel it aftre thirty minutes if you eat it on an empty stomach.

I'd like it in ice cream.

for him.

I think Emperor was trying to be facetious. E.T.'s point is made when holistic and pharmaceuticals are mentioned in the same sentence.

It's called sarcasm, look it up.

People are arrested on the spot for smoking pot?

Your wicked.

i detect a bit of sarcasm.

HAHA! i love this

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

I just want to get that in there before people come in here bitching and fussing about not being politically correct. Sorry, but it's funny as fuck.

What ever do you find so funny, Low?

You can consume THC in many ways- cooking it into food, smoking it, vaporizing it, etc. Usually the best way for the person is determined by the patient and doctor.

Vaporizing? Like vicks vapor rub?

kind of , it heats it up with out burnnig it, so you dont get the carcinogens, like sticking it in a oven , baking it on a much smaller scale.

he can ingest th eoil... its 1000's of times more effective that way...

I like all the other forums of taking it in than smoking. Smoking is dirty.

That maybe true but oh how I love to smoke! Forgive me but I like getting a little dirty now and then. . .

hahah...dirty-dirty

i will agree with kari on this one.haha

personally i think the best way to ingest is vaporizing it, because its only pure vapor, no smoking harmful carcinogens.

but my fave is the good ol blunt.... bongs or roars are nice too tho. haha

Well, the thing is that different patients may need different ways to take the THC in, and people have different responses to the ways it can be taken...for example, patients with throat considerations usually use a vaporizer, people who don't like to smoke can have it processed into food or even a pill. However, a surprising number of patients prefer to smoke marijuana because the effects are immediate and in some cases, it's not just the THC but all of the complexities of the marijuana plant that are needed - diff strains are used for diff medical conditions. Also, though there needs to be a LOT MORE research done on the matter, Marijuana smoke has been shown in studies by Harvard and John Hopkins not to have the same dangerous side effects that tobacco smoke has. In some studies, it's even been shown to decrease the likelihood of cancer and shrink tumors!
