Cannabinoids Kill Cancer and Our Government Has Known for 36 Years
A new study published in Nature
Reviews-Cancer provides an historic and detailed
explanation about how THC
and natural cannabinoids counteract cancer, but preserve
normal cells.
Below is a repost of an article published on Americans for Safe
Access website: www.safeaccessnow.org
in November of 2003. The article describes how cannabinoids, the active
components of marijuana, inhibit tumor growth in laboratory animals and
also kill cancer cells. Then it finishes off by saying that the US government
has known for more than 35 years and that the media which would normally go
crazy about a cancer cure story like this, doesn’t at all and in fact seem to
be burying the story rather than promote it in any way. I for one am amazed at
the government’s stance on marijuana and their failed war on drugs, which is
more like a war on it’s own country. I guess too many people get rich off of
the war on drugs.

A new study published in Nature
Reviews-Cancer provides an historic and detailed explanation about how THC
and natural cannabinoids counteract cancer, but preserve normal cells.
The study
by Manuel Guzmán of Madrid Spain found that cannabinoids, the active
components of marijuana, inhibit tumor growth in laboratory animals. They do so
by modulating key cell-signalling pathways, thereby inducing direct growth
arrest and death of tumor cells, as well as by inhibiting the growth of blood
vessels that supply the tumor.
The Guzman study is very important according to Dr.
Ethan Russo , a neurologist and world authority on medical cannabis:
“Cancer occurs because cells become immortalized; they fail to heed normal
signals to turn off growth. A normal function of remodelling in the body
requires that cells die on cue. This is called apoptosis, or programmed cell
death. That process fails to work in tumors. THC promotes its reappearance so
that gliomas, leukemias, melanomas and other cell types will in fact heed the
signals, stop dividing, and die.”
“But, that is not all,” explains Dr. Russo: “The other way that tumors
grow is by ensuring that they are nourished: they send out signals to promote
angiogenesis, the growth of new blood vessels. Cannabinoids turn off these
signals as well. It is truly incredible, and elegant.”
In other words, this article explains several ways in which cannabinoids
might be used to fight cancer, and, as the article says, “Cannabinoids are
usually well tolerated, and do not produce the generalized toxic effects of
conventional chemotherapies.
Usually, any story that even suggests the possibility of a new treatment for
cancer is greeted with headlines about a “cancer cure” – however remote in
the future and improbable in fact it might be. But if marijuana is involved,
don’t expect any coverage from mainstream media, especially since mainstream
editors have been quietly killing this story for the past thirty years…
That’s right, news about the abilility of pot to shrink tumors first
surfaced, way back in 1974. Researchers at the Medical College of Virginia, who
had been funded by the National Institutes 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 Washington Post reported on the 1974 study — in the “Local” section
— on Aug. 18, 1974. Under the headline, “Cancer Curb Is Studied,” it read
in part: “The active chemical agent in marijuana curbs the growth of three
kinds of cancer in mice and may also suppress the immunity reaction that causes
rejection of organ transplants, a Medical College of Virginia team has
discovered.” The researchers “found that THC slowed the growth of lung
cancers, breast cancers, and a virus-induced leukemia in laboratory mice, and
prolonged their lives by as much as 36 percent.”
“News coverage of the Madrid discovery has been virtually nonexistent in
this country. The news broke quietly on Feb. 29, 2000 with a story that ran once
on the UPI wire about the Nature Medicine article,” complained
MarijuanaNews.com editor Richard Cowan , who said he was only able to find the
article through a link that appeared briefly on the Drudge Report Web page.
“The New York Times, The 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,” added Cowan.
On March 29, 2001, the San
Antonio Current printed a carefully researched, bombshell of a story by
Raymond Cushing titled, “POT SHRINKS TUMORS; GOVERNMENT KNEW IN ‘74.”
Media coverage since then has been nonexistant, except for a copy of the story
on Alternet.
It is hard to believe that the knowledge that cannabis can be used to fight
cancer has been suppressed
for almost thirty years , yet it seems likely that it will continue to be
suppressed. Why?
According to Cowan, the answer is because it is a threat
to cannabis prohibition . “If this article and its predecessors from 2000
and 1974 were the only evidence of the suppression of medical cannabis, then one
might perhaps be able to rationalize it in some herniated way. However, there
really is massive
proof that the suppression of medical cannabis represents the greatest
failure of the institutions of a free society, medicine, journalism, science,
and our fundamental values,” Cowan notes.
Millions of people have died horrible deaths and in
many cases, familes exhausted their savings on dangerous, toxic and expensive
drugs. Now we are just beginning to realize that while marijuana has never
killed anyone, marijuana prohibition has killed millions.
