I would think you people wouldn't just believe everything you here in the media since you all have to deal with all negative stigma of owning a pitbull and seeing all the lies the media and government officials make about our dogs. It's shocking to me just how brainwashed people are. Hey BILLBKLYN maybe you should try responding with "facts" that come from studies that aren't financed by the Government or maybe just something factual at all. The Gov. doesn't allow almost any of the pot studies to be done in this country unless the study involves trying to prove its negative effects. Otherwise they will not allow the study to be done in the US and they will not supply the study with gov. pot to do the study. Which is the only way it's legal to do a marijuana study in this country. That is why the the majority of marijuana studies are done in other countries like Israel and Spain. That's why the scientist who discovered and named THC is from Israel. There are many fascinating studies coming from those countries that show amazing medical results. One study I remember reading about that was done in Spain involved shrinking cancerous tumors by injecting THC directly into the tumors on rats. Other studies have shown how THC does this by going after the VEGF receptors. It has to do with cutting off blood flow and the growth of new blood vessels to the tumors but not to the healthy parts of your body . Pharmaceutical companies are now studying this and currently trying to create a drug they can patent to do the same thing. Other studies show marijuana can fight cancer by apoptosis(programed cell death). This is similar to what chemo or radiation do except they kill all cells in your body while marijuana only goes after(free radicals) the damaged or cancerous cells. There are studies going on all over the world proving marijuana's medical worth but many people are just to brainwashed and ignorant to care because "pot is bad, mmk". You guys/girls need to do your homework and get your facts straight on Pot! Pot has been being used since the beginning of mankind as medicine and has never killed anyone. While at least 625,000 individuals in the Americas die each year from tobacco use, according to the Pan American Health Organization.
