Alternative Cancer cures, Hemp Oil, Conspiracy?

Postby Lithzenze » Wed May 25, 2011 6:02 pm

Drugs like Cancell, Cantron, Protocel (which have been known to stop or minimalism cancer growth) are discredit by the government or just plain outlawed.

Numerous universities including Harvard have come to conclusions that THC stops tumour growth or reduces the size of tumours. Many governments still discredit its use for a cancer cure.

Is there some kind of cancer cure conspiracy?
After all Cancer is big business.

Do we really have anything to loose by using THC or hemp oil as a possible treatment?

Does the Daily Mails Story about the boy cured from Cannabis hold any merit?

What do you NS think about Alternative Cancer cures, THC as a cure?
And is it possible that there may be a conspiracy to oppress or discredit any cure for cancer found?

- note, the Harvard study is old news but still interesting.

Also note i do not support any of this, or discredit any of this. I am only asking what you think about Alternative cancer cures, THC as a cure, and if there is a conspiracy? Do not make the mistake of believing i am trying to start an argument, im just curios as to others views on this topic.

A Harvard study that finds something that we've known for years since it was released? Alternative medicine isn't medicine for a reason. THC is known to help prevent certain cancers, though this has been known for several years. Claiming it is an alternative medicine is now pointless, as it is recognised as a legitimate medicine, not some pseudoscientific garbage like acupuncture.

Because pot is for communists, hippies, and ne'er do-wells. The issue isn't THC, it's the fact that conservative government lobbyists see marijuana in the light of the 1920s, 30's, and 40's.

Women cry for it, MEN DIE FOR IT!

Now TBF I'm sure there is some reason for outlawing THC-based drugs, whether due to clinical side effects or possibly some sort of strange reactions, or even it just plain doesn't work. I seriously doubt there is a GRAND CONSPIRACY by the medical establishment to entirely discredit medicine and science in the forward name of profit.

After all, you could make a killing selling THC for cancer treatment.

I'm positive that Cannabis probably has a plethora of medicinal uses that, as of yet, remain undiscovered due to it's legal status and the lack of research gone into studying the plant. As to whether it cures cancer, I not entirely sure but I would love to see someone look into it.

"Never be deceived that the rich will permit you to vote away their wealth." - Lucy Parsons
Socialism is an economic system characterised by social ownership of the means of production and co-operative management of the economy. "Social ownership" may refer to cooperative enterprises, common ownership, state ownership, citizen ownership of equity, or any combination of these. There are many varieties of socialism and there is no single definition encapsulating all of them. They differ in the type of social ownership they advocate, the degree to which they rely on markets or planning, how management is to be organised within productive institutions, and the role of the state in constructing socialism.
