Laboratory and animal studies have shown that cannabinoids may be able to kill cancer cells while protecting normal cells.<\/li>\n<li>A study in mice showed that cannabinoids may protect against inflammation of the colon and may have potential in reducing the risk of colon cancer, and possibly in its treatment.<\/li>\n<li>A laboratory study of delta-9-THC in hepatocellular carcinoma (liver cancer) cells showed that it damaged or killed the cancer cells. The same study of delta-9-THC in mouse models of liver cancer showed that it had antitumor effects. Delta-9-THC has been shown to cause these effects by acting on molecules that may also be found in non-small cell lung cancer cells and breast cancer cells.<\/li>\n<li>A laboratory study of cannabidiol (CBD) in estrogen receptor positive and estrogen receptor negative breast cancer cells showed that it caused cancer cell death while having little effect on normal breast cells. Studies in mouse models of metastatic breast cancer showed that cannabinoids may lessen the growth, number, and spread of tumors.<\/li>\n<li>A laboratory study of cannabidiol (CBD) in human glioma cells showed that when given along withchemotherapy, CBD may make chemotherapy more effective and increase cancer cell death without harming normal cells. Studies in mouse models of cancer showed that CBD together with delta-9-THC may make chemotherapy such as temozolomide more effective.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Additionally, the National Institute on Drug Abuse also referenced similar, recent studies which revealed \u201cmarijuana can kill certain cancer cells and reduce the size of others.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEvidence from one animal study suggests that extracts from whole-plant marijuana can shrink one of the most serious types of brain tumors,\u201d the NIDA said in April. \u201cResearch in mice showed that these extracts, when used with radiation, increased the cancer-killing effects of the radiation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But you\u2019re still going to jail if you get caught using it as medication in most states.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe worst part is that even marijuana without THC is still illegal, despite having zero \u2018high\u2019 effects,\u201d health expert Anthony Gucciardi wrote. \u201cA quick search within the PubMed National Library of Medicine database for \u2018marijuana\u2019 turns up a host of studies, highlighting every aspect imaginable regarding the plant in its many forms.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Despite all these numerous, proven benefits of marijuana, the federal government wants it to remain illegal while the FDA approves expensive prescription drugs with more side effects and far less research.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe truth? Marijuana is backed by more clinical research than most pharmaceutical drugs,\u201d Gucciardi added.<\/p>\n<p><img src=\"http:\/\/www.420magazine.com\/gallery\/data\/1412\/15376.jpg\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<p>News Moderator: Jacob Redmond <a href=\"http:\/\/www.420magazine.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">420 MAGAZINE \u00ae<\/a><br \/>\nFull Article: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lnfowars.com\/marijuana-kills-cancer-says-national-cancer-institute\/\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.infowars.com\/marijuana-ki&#8230;cer-institute\/<\/a><br \/>\nAuthor: Kit Daniels<br \/>\nContact: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lnfowars.com\/support-tickets\/\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.infowars.com\/support-tickets\/<\/a><br \/>\nPhoto Credit: WREX News<br \/>\nWebsite: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.420magazine.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">420 MAGAZINE \u00ae<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The institute recently updated its \u2018Frequently Asked Questions\u2019 page about marijuana to include various studies revealing how cannabis \u201cmay inhibit&#8230; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.420magazine.com\/2015\/08\/cannabis-can-kill-cancer-says-national-cancer-institute\/\" class=\"read-more\">[Read More]<\/a> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[2329,9,1,3],"tags":[4896],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/cannitrol.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4575"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/cannitrol.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/cannitrol.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cannitrol.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cannitrol.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4575"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/cannitrol.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4575\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/cannitrol.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4575"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cannitrol.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4575"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cannitrol.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4575"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
