Comments on: Are you aware marijuana can prevent/cure brain tumors and alzheimers?

Yes I was aware that multiple studies have shown brain tumors shrinking and even disappearing in mice and rats given THC.

@ Goodluck

Schizophrenia is most certainly NOT caused by marijuana. Schizophrenia, though still not well-understood by medical science, is apparently hereditary, and is often accompanied by deformed growth of the cerebral cortex, and atrophy of the sulci. Now, what chemical can possibly go back in time and change your DNA before you are born?

That is just the sort of bald-faced lie that the ONDCP touts on their insidious “Public Service” announcements. Mildly humorous, but not convincing. If you throw enough money at unscrupulous scientists, they will come up with a “study” to “suggest” anything you want. (Case in point: AGW.)

Ask yourself, critical thinking masters out there… where is the funding for the opposing side?

And as for it being a “gateway drug,” this is the most backwards argument of them all. I will now destroy it:

If MJ is a gateway drug, how is alcohol NOT? I’ll tell you…

BECAUSE YOU DON’T BUY ALCOHOL FROM DRUG DEALERS!

If we legalized it, people wouldn’t have to deal with black market dealers in order to GET it.

This would have the added benefit of making it safer (though the common notion of dealers “lacing” their buds is another hilarious myth, so that’s not really necessary)…

And it would be free market, out-in-the-open, so certain people couldn’t use the international drug trade for money laundering and geopolitical leverage.

Oh yeah, not to mention the prison system is a profit-based, privately owned industry that not only brings federal funding but cheap inmate labor to those who own it. Now can you see any incentive for locking innocent people up? Naaaah…

I’m not done yet.

@ other moron who said it causes cancer

Name one case.

Many of you have been fooled by corporate social engineers who want you on THEIR drugs, which ARE harmful.

News flash, kids aren’t that stupid. When you LIE to them, and say that marijuana is “dangerous” YOU LOSE ALL CREDIBILITY WITH THEM.

The only reason marijuana is illegal is because it’s more profitable that way. Also, it would have been impossible to corner the market on it otherwise. Thirdly, it justifies the massive scam known as the “War on Drugs,” as well as all the federak funding, civil liberties violations and imprisoned nonviolent citizens that go along with it.

You know what? Nevermind I said anything.

Marijuana is the boogeyman. RUN!

Dying in a high speed car crash also prevents Azheimer’s, and prevents brain tumors from further growth.

Marijuana has been used as a medicine for over 5,000 years.
That’s since the beginning of time to you Jebus worshippers.
