Quoted from Gary in Houston


Dustin, funny you should mention that.  Our daughter surprised us this weekend by saying one of her friends offered to provide my wife with some weed to help with the nausea.  Unfortunately, we're in the great backward state of Texas, where anything and everything that can be helpful to you (like medicinal marijuana or cannisbis oil) is deemed either a misdemeanor or a felony (depending on the amount you have in possession).  But I have read of the effect as well, and maybe we'll have to travel to Colorado or some other state to get what we need for her comfort.


Yeah, it's great for nullifying the side effects of hardcore treatments but it also can in some cases cure cancer. The human body has an endocannabinoid system that helps regulate cellular growth and prevent cancers from forming in the first place. Sometimes a failure in this system helps cancer cells grow, so, luckily for us, we have a plant that shares a symbiotic relationship with us. It grows what we need inside little trichomes.

Here's a medical article on it:

Here's a woman that survived:

Clearly this is not the full story for everybody... because it doesn't work for everybody.

I still feel weird pushing this stuff. I was doing this 15-years ago and being called a conspiracy nut. Even though a lot has changed since then, it still makes me feel as though I sound like a nutjob.

Just came out today. It's a matter of surviving a few years to get where the new tech/drugs can give us a longterm solution.

I spent a month exploring THC and CBD. I have tons of links. And I spoke to a retired oncology nurse who had her own anecdotal stories. I concluded that THC oils are unlikely to have an effect on most cancers. But we can't rule out that it helps with certain types of cancer. But contrary to the beliefs of many THC proponents, it has been pretty widely studied by mainstream science. And is still being studied.

The THC proponents I know all knew that pharma had already put massive amounts of study into it. The cancer-curing properties have been known since the 1970s - but the information was suppressed.

Hey, Dustin. I know we've had our disagreements, this is not one. I know you mean well here.

Anyone facing cancer has to do their own research and they have to be very careful. THC has a lot of advocates, but few if any of them are really scientists. And the industry is not suppressing anything. That's a myth. Research with THC goes on to this day, in a lot of places. THC was shown in labs to kill cancer cells. But we're talking in a test tube. There are many compounds that do that, but are useless in the human body. There are compounds that work in mice, but not humans.

I don't think big pharma suppresses. But if there is something they can't get a patent on, they don't invest the hundreds of millions needed to get a drug through clinical trials. However, THC is still tested in govt and charity funded institutions.

I simply could not find more than anecdotal stories that showed THC killed cancer in humans.

And, with my life on the line, I researched the bloody hell out of this. I even bought a couple of vials(which I ended up not using).

People with cancer have to research it and make up their own minds. If there are no other good options, it might be worth trying. But there is another downside. The "protocol" involved 90 days of dosing with THC every couple hours, then less frequent dosing after the 90 days. The dosing leaves you high all the time and often sleeping. And it's very expensive. The 90 day protocol should cost you several thousand dollars.

Again, I open to all possibilities short of holy water. But people have to be careful.

I agree it isn't being suppressed now, because vast profits can be made. However, it doesn't have to cost that much. There are home growers all over the US that will supply it far, far cheaper than pharma's. I'm not much to do with that scene any more, but I know quite a few growers still that would help. The cost shouldn't put anyone off as it can be circumvented. If that is all that is stopping you, there's a huge community of people out there willing to help if you want it.
