If youre looking for kitten videos Facebook, Im sorry, but youre getting the cure for cancer instead... Why care about this? Maybe cancer runs in your family like me. Maybe youre weird and you care about things that actually matter. Maybe you actually like to learn new things? Have I mentioned that a US government classified Class A narcotic with no medicinal value is making cancer cells halt reproduction and even die? Its called marijuana, and its destroying cancer in laboratories around the world. Unlike chemotherapy, its non-toxic, and damages no other cells in the human body. Think thats some hippie BS? I thought you might say that... So after several hours of reading what sounds like another language, Ive compiled four published research articles from four countries showing astounding evidence of marijuanas anti-cancer powers. Enjoy: In cell culture experiments pharmacological activation of cannabinoid receptors induced the apoptotic death of tumorigenic epidermal cells, whereas the viability of nontransformed epidermal cells remained unaffected. -M. Llanos Casanova et. al. / Madrid, Spain jci.org/articles/view/16116 We have also shown that SR141716 exerted a significant antiproliferative action, in vivo, by reducing the volume of xenograft tumors induced by MDA-MB-231 injection in mice. -Daniela Sarnataro et. al. / Napoli, Italy molpharm.aspetjournals.org/content/70/4/1298.full In summary, we report for the first time that the plant-derived cannabinoid THC induces apoptosis in colorectal cancer cells, and that the induction of cell death is mediated through BAD activation via CB1-dependent RAS-MAPK and PI3K-AKT pathway inhibition. -Alexander Greenhough et. al. / Bristol, UK onlinelibrary.wiley/doi/10.1002/ijc.22917/full Our results suggest that treatment of androgen-responsive human prostate carcinoma LNCaP cells resulted in a decrease in intracellular and secreted levels of PSA, with concomitant inhibition of androgen receptor, cell growth, and induction of apoptosis. We conclude that cannabinoids should be considered as agents for the management of prostate cancer. -Sami Sarfaraz et. al. / University of Wisconsin cancerres.aacrjournals.org/content/65/5/1635.full
