EXCERPTED FROM PUBMED:

Cannabidiol enhances the inhibitory effects of Delta9-tetrahydrocannabinol on human glioblastoma cell proliferation and survival:
The cannabinoid 1 (CB(1)) and cannabinoid 2 (CB(2)) receptor agonist Delta(9)-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) has been shown to be a broad-range inhibitor of cancer in culture and in vivo, and is currently being used in a clinical trial for the treatment of glioblastoma. It has been suggested that other plant-derived cannabinoids, which do not interact efficiently with CB(1) and CB(2) receptors, can modulate the actions of Delta(9)-THC. There are conflicting reports, however, as to what extent other cannabinoids can modulate Delta(9)-THC activity, and most importantly, it is not clear whether other cannabinoid compounds can either potentiate or inhibit the actions of Delta(9)-THC. We therefore tested cannabidiol, the second most abundant plant-derived cannabinoid, in combination with Delta(9)-THC. In the U251 and SF126 glioblastoma cell lines, Delta(9)-THC and cannabidiol acted synergistically to inhibit cell proliferation. The treatment of glioblastoma cells with both compounds led to significant modulations of the cell cycle and induction of reactive oxygen species and apoptosis as well as specific modulations of extracellular signal-regulated kinase and caspase activities. These specific changes were not observed with either compound individually, indicating that the signal transduction pathways affected by the combination treatment were unique. Our results suggest that the addition of cannabidiol to Delta(9)-THC may improve the overall effectiveness of Delta(9)-THC in the treatment of glioblastoma in cancer patients.

    yeah!! COME ON PEOPLE! In the words of Basil Fawlty, “Please, please try to understand before one of us dies!!! Oh, I could spend the rest of my life trying to have this conversation….”
    Not to insult, I was in disbelief/anger/denial that this could be possible too. I spent a year trying to debunk it, I failed to do so, here I am. Anyone saying this is not a tangible cure is NOT taking the time to look into it themselves. That also, gets me.

    Actually, the people who are “awake” see what is happening all around them and this situation fits into that corruption that we are used to seeing, it is a select few who cannot see the truth when it stares them in the face… and they reject it with a vengeance for some reason.

    Most of the folks who come and go from my page are supportive, and we thank you for taking the time to look at the studies rather than simply taking our word for it. This is too big to just believe… you must see it.

    “Breast and Prostate Cancer cells are also sensitive to Cannabinoid-induced antiproliferation (restrict). Regarding the immune system, low doses of Cannabinoids may enhance cell proliferation (spread), whereas high doses of Cannabinoids (Rick Simpson’s Cancer Cure Hemp Oil) usually induce growth arrest or apoptosis (cell death).”

    Breast Cancer & the Apocrine Sweat Glands

    Antiperspirants, Deodorants (that contain Aluminium) & Botox block the underarm Apocrine sweat gland called the Axilla.
    Once the Axilla is blocked the next closest Apocrine sweat gland is the Areola, located around the nipple!
    My conclusion … “Excessive amount of Apocrine sweat for the Areola = Breast Cancer”.

    Result of “Yes” …
    Result of “Yes” Vote: “Yes” vote permits state-licensed marijuana (cannabis) cultivation/sale to adults through state stores; permits unlicensed adult personal cultivation/use; prohibits restrictions on hemp (defined).

    Result of a “No” Vote: “No” vote retains existing civil and criminal laws prohibiting cultivation, possession and delivery of marijuana; retains current statues that permit regulated use of medical marijuana.

    God gave us plants to cure every illness. Canibus is the king of these herbs. They are afraid you are going to get high and have a good time and possibly see the truth through new eyes. You will become a poor consumer and a slack worker. Your commercial value will plummet. You will be healthy and happy for free instead of buying it like our current society does. Google “Rick Simpson” and learn about the cure.

    So the system fails us again. Millions smoke marijuana daily…so what are they going to “test” in the next TWO YEARS!!?!?!!?!?!? Are you kidding me? The system FAILS yet again. I say we get moving and start stopping the spread of cancer and tumors. WHAT are we waiting for? Clinical tests? OF COURSE it heals the human body when used in it’s purist from in it’s purist form. We wonder if it’s going to work on animals first? Let’s start healing the people so the planet can heal. It’s time.
