Medical Marijuana vs Opiods for Cancer

Quote:

Cancer seems to thrive on exposure to opioids, particularly morphine, the most widely used narcotic for relief of surgical pain. In the presence of these drugs tumors grow faster and develop more extensive networks of the blood vessels they rely on to feed their expansion?a process called angiogenesis, says Jonathan Moss, an anesthesiologist at the University of Chicago (U. of C.) Medical Center.

Isn't that just great!

I just got out of the hospital yesterday after three days in (surgery on Tuesday night). Like they always do, they stuck me on a morphine pump.

Run from the Cure - Rick Simpson.

The Medical College of Virginia had been funded by the National Institutes of Health to find evidence that marijuana damaged the human immune system. Imagine their surprise when the results came back indicating the opposite: Instead of hastening the death of mice implanted with brain cancer, marijuana dramatically slowed the growth of their tumors and extended their lives. The DEA quickly shut down this promising research. According to Jack Herer, two years later, President Gerald Ford would put an end to all public cannabis research and grant exclusive rights to major pharmaceutical companies to develop synthetic THC.

Can you believe it? A cure for cancer.
