weed has benefits, but also detriments.
Should be used when needed and not as a cure for anything. Works well in conjuction with other cancer treatments which destroy the body. Weed tends to help the symptoms like nausa, loss of appetite etc.

but it doesnt "cure" cancer

Their are alternatives to smoking it, in the state of MD they're trying to legalize it with limitations, such as baking and vaporizers..

I, personally, dont smoke pot.. But my dad does.. On the other hand he's in a wheel chair and suffers from MS, and its the only thing he can take that makes his legs stop spazzing out, so before jumping to a conclusion of me being a pot head trying to find excuses to legalize it, im not.

If so many horrible things can be legal, such as tobacco and alcohol, while others can be taken under supervision like Dilaudid and Oxymorphine, why cant marijuana be legalized? It literally baffles my mind.

edit:  And THC has alot of benifits, but the government wont fund testing..

As for the cure for cancer, I doubt it..  But you never know.


if the government legalises something on a broad spectrum that has been directly linked to several very serious mental disorders from even 1 contact with marijuana they would be endangering their own people. which is idiotic. thc is not horrible, if its in the correct doses, but smoking weed itself is much much more dangerous than tobacco or alcohol. it baffles my mind that people overlook the fact that it can literally destroy your brain and want it legalised for the extremely miniscule benefits in comparison.

thc pills=helpful to many people suffering from seizures and other conditions.
legalising marijuana=unethical and frankly, stupid.

The Great Plant From The Creator Of All, The Plant That Has More Uses The Anything Known In This World, From Car Body's - Medicines, Foods, Oils, Clothing, Rope, And Yet Left Out Of History. This Versatile Plant Has Been Used In The Treatment Of:

Depression
Cancer Sickness
Anti Nausea
Aids Patients
Muscle Spasms
Pain Relief (Arthritis, Sprains)
Asthma
EPILEPSY

And Much More.

What This Wonderful Plant Can Make!

medicine, fuel, paper, food, rope, maps, clothes, nets, lace, soap, sails, shoes, plastics, explosives, caulking, fiberboard, paint, sealant, methanol, gasoline, fibre for fuel, bricks, charcoal, auto bodies, packing mass, lubricants, oil for lighting, oil for fuel, oil for lights, animal food, furniture, mats, varnish, lotions, ointments, lacquer, salad dressings.

Most all the world's bibles maps, sails, clothes and books were made out of cannabis. Much of the world's population has survived by eating hemp seed, cooked into a porridge called (gruel)

What This Plant Provides:

Relaxation
Happiness
Hungriness
Sleepiness ( if you smoke a lot )

Illegal Why:

Big Corporations Like: Altria (Aka Phillip Morris) & Oil And Alcohol Companies Pay a lot Of Money To Advertise Weed As A Gateway Drug & A Harmful Drug To Your Body Which Is Indeed Wrong, When These Companies Tried To Prove Weed A Harmful Toxin To Our Body They Tested It On Monkeys, In Which They Had Gas Masks Covering These Monkeys Faces, ( It Was Later Proven The Monkeys Died From Suffocation, Not From Weed), If You Didn't Notice These Drug Commercials On The T.V. Are Funded By Alcohol And Cigarette Companies, The Reasoning Why These Companies Do Is Because Of All The Money That Is Rolling In, Weed Has Not Killed 1 Person From Just Smoking It!, Alcohol+Cigs Kill People Daily From Just Using It!, Not To Mention All The Drunk Driving Casualties.

Myth: Marijuana is More Damaging to the Lungs Than Tobacco. Marijuana smokers are at a high risk of developing lung cancer, bronchitis, and emphysema.

Fact: Moderate smoking of marijuana appears to pose minimal danger to the lungs. Like tobacco smoke, marijuana smoke contains a number of irritants and carcinogens. But marijuana users typically smoke much less often than tobacco smokers, and over time, inhale much less smoke. As a result, the risk of serious lung damage should be lower in marijuana smokers. There have been no reports of lung cancer related solely to marijuana, and in a large study presented to the American Thoracic Society in 2006, even heavy users of smoked marijuana were found not to have any increased risk of lung cancer. Unlike heavy tobacco smokers, heavy marijuana smokers exhibit no obstruction of the lung's small airway. That indicates that people will not develop emphysema from smoking marijuana.

Myth: Marijuana Can Cause Permanent Mental Illness. Among adolescents, even occasional marijuana use may cause psychological damage. During intoxication, marijuana users become irrational and often behave erratically.

Fact: There is no convincing scientific evidence that marijuana causes psychological damage or mental illness in either teenagers or adults. Some marijuana users experience psychological distress following marijuana ingestion, which may include feelings of panic, anxiety, and paranoia. Such experiences can be frightening, but the effects are temporary. With very large doses, marijuana can cause temporary toxic psychosis. This occurs rarely, and almost always when marijuana is eaten rather than smoked. Marijuana does not cause profound changes in people's behavior.

I will literally give you the rest of my forum gold if you find me a credable argument against marijuana, and a study showing that it causes mental illness, without having any argument put towards it at all.. I smoked pot for 5 years before quitting cold turkey "obviously not addictive", and im in perfect shape, mentally and physically.. I lift every day, run 2 miles daily, and live a very active lifestyle, again physically and socially.. And the people I hang out with arent mentally ill.. I graduated highschool top of my class, and im in IBEW as an apprentice. As for marijuana smoke destroying your brain, buddy standing underneath of a telephone pole will eventually destroy your brain, using too much calamine lotion will give you skin cancer, drinking tap water as an infant will kill a baby, and too much floride will poison you.

Alcohol rots your liver, rots your brain at much more of a progressive state than marijuana.. Tobacco coats your lungs in tar, among other things, and its processed in fucking cyanide and arsenic..

Now tell me, a plant that is grown 100% naturally, not given any chemical additives what so ever, and has been used for THOUSANDS of years "before cancer became an 'epidemic' is worse to inhale than tobacco, or worse to consume than alcohol.. There is no argument towards this, people who down play marijuana have;

A. Never tried it
B. Religious nut
C. Works in the wood/pharmacutical(sp) field as a chemist
D. An idiot.
