Does cannabis/ marhijana cure cancer?

I hear THC the active chemical in cannabis cures cancer and other ailments if digested..

Is this true?

If so why doesnt cancer research investigate this.

  • Apparently so, It was documented in the USA that 1 gentleman cured skin cancer by rubbing a home made cannabis-resin based cream into his skin. He then went about curing fellow sufferers in his neighbourhood only to be arrested for producing class A drugs.

    At the moment the pharmacutical companies make monumental amounts of money from repeatedly selling drugs to aid in the slower growth of cancer. These drugs do not generally work, the cancer will return but your life is usually extended with the aid of the drug. Because they do not cure cancer, the presciptions are continually reissued for years for each patient increasing the amount of money earnt. If cancer was to be cured, there would not be any proffitt,

  • Cannabis contains the natural chemical THC (delta-9-tetracannabinol). It has been researched and proven that THC can prolong the time to live before death in cancer patients by slowing the speading and mutation of cancer cells. THC also increases appetite in patients undergoing kemo therapy therefore putting off death there as well. Kemo therapy patients generally have a lack of appetite to the point where they die from malnutrition in some cases so this is why it helps. As a sum-up no cannabis oil does not cure cancer it only puts off death till a later time and acts as practically a miracle drug when used as a medicine.

  • No, you heard wrong; so far there is no scientific evidence that THC cures cancer.

    And there IS and has been research into it, some of which is very interesting, but none of which is yet conclusive.

    There has been a study that indicates that cannabinoids ( the active ingredients in marijuana) can help prevent prostate cancer, and there has also been research into the treatment of cancer.

    Complutense University in Madrid and the University hospital of Tenerife carried out research a few years ago into the use of chemical cannabinoids to help treat one type of brain tumour, glioblastoma multiforme.

    There were promising results, but the number of patients involved was very small (9), and much more research is needed.

    There's no suggestion in any of this research that smoking marijuana can either treat or prevent cancer; the research has been done using man-made chemicals that mimic the compounds found in cannabis, rather than unpurified marijuana.

    And a study is not proof, it's a study. It may be interesting, but all it does is suggest possibilities for further research - that's what studies do. Other studies, sometimes conducted by the same research team, may have different findings - it's in the nature of studies.

    There is some evidence that marijuana is a risk factor for testicular cancer.

    Someone will no doubt suggest you watch 'Run From the Cure'. Me, I've watched Run From the Cure more than once, and find it less than convincing. For one thing, claims that a single substance can cure anything from cancer to weight problems to insomnia has to be regarded with suspicion at best.

    The part I recall most vividly was a number of unsubstantiated testimonials - no way of knowing if these people had ever had the conditions they claimed, and certainly no way of knowing if they'd been 'cured'.

    But I'll accept they had those conditions. And as I've had cancer, the ones who'd had cancer were the ones to whom I paid most attention. And you know what? - they'd all had conventional treatment as well as using hemp oil, but had chosen to credit the hemp oil with the improvement in their condition.

    This often happens with alternative treatments and cancer - a patient has chemo and feels crap, no surprise, because because chemo makes you feel crap. After the chemo is over, s/he takes some 'alternative' medicine; soon s/he begins to feel better. Well, that's no surprise either, you do begin to feel better when chemo is over. But s/he chooses to give the credit for feeling better, and for subsequent improvements in her/his condition, to the unproven alternative rather than to the conventional treatments.

    And that's what happened to the participants in Run From the Cure; every single one had actually treated their cancer with conventional medicine.

    And doubtless someone will say that pharmaceutical companies/governments can't make a profit from patenting a naturally occurring substance and so suppress alleged 'cures' like marijuana.

    Not so. In fact it's common for synthetic derivatives to be made that are an improvement on the original, and it's also common to get patents on the methods of isolating or administering the substance.

    So even if a pharmaceutical couldn't make money directly from hemp oil, if hemp oil, or marijuana, were effective they could make plenty of money and get plenty kudos from developing a safer, more effective derivative. The chemotherapy drug Taxol is derived from yew.

    But so far hemp oil and marijuana have not been proven effective against cancer, so pharmaceutical companies don't bother with them. They're after profits, after all.

    And cancer is not one disease , it's an umbrella term for over 200 diseases. The difficulty with finding a 'cure for cancer' is that different cancers are caused by different things, so no one strategy can prevent them all.They all respond to different treatments so no one treatment can cure them, so there isn't a magic bullet that cures all cancers and there never will be.

  • It doesn't but it is used to treat the nausea that accompanies some radiation/chemotherapy treatments, in some states that allow it.

  • This has been debated on Truth It - both sides of the arguement were discussed: https://truthit.com/question/health-and-wellness/c...

  • I wish it did but no, it just calms the individual down and goes with kemo-therapy very well

  • Nope it just helps with Keomo. 'Cause it makes it so you don't puke when you eat.
