"Once I realized the Hash oil had cured my cancer I began to ask myself questions. Why hadn't my doctor heard about this? Why hadn't I heard about this before? If cannabis cures cancer why would it be illegal? As I did more research I began to realize it's about profit and politics.”
The active chemical in marijuana kills brain cancer cells. The study suggests that THC causes brain cancer cells to essentially eat themselves. In both studies with mice and humans tumors exposed to the drug shrank. The studies authors says patients didn't suffer any toxic side effects and the results could be used to develop new strategies for preventing tumor growth.
Strong evidence the active ingredient in marijuana may stop early cases of Alzheimer's disease. Researchers at the Scripps Institute found THC (Tetrahydrocannabinol) may prevent the progression of the disease by preserving levels of important neurological transmitter that allows the brain to function. The discovery could lead to a more effective drug treatment for Alzheimer's which is the leading cause of dementia among the elderly.
Here's a story you'll want to remember. Could marijuana really help with memory? A new study out of Ohio University is looking into that possibility. Scientists say that specific elements of marijuana can be good for the aging brain by reducing inflammation. They also say it could possibly even stimulate the formulation of new brain cells. Inflammation of the brain is believed to contribute to memory impairment.
Hundreds of studies indicate cannabis oil specifically has potential. Harvard University did a study where brain cancer was being cured by cannabis oil. But there are roadblocks to continuing that study. “We can't use it on humans because basically the government has taken all the rights.”
Study on cannabis at the University of Saskatchewan found that a synthetic chemical derived from marijuana actually makes new cells grow in rat brains. After giving rats high doses of the chemical researchers found a 40% increase in new brain cell formation. Drugs like nicotine and alcohol suppress the growth of new cells but this study shows marijuana may actually be good for brain cell growth.
