Hi Rat .. in case you didn't see it elsewhere.

Our government is now knowingly requiring people to die from cancer:

The federal government policy against medical marijuana kills innocent US citizens. Perhaps by the tens of thousands every year.

It has been known since 1974 that THC, the active chemical in marijuana, kills cancer cells. THC is the only chemical in marijuana that gets a person high. There are over sixty other related chemicals in the plant that don't produce a high. Many of these other chemicals also kill cancer. Even though these natural chemicals don't get you high, cancer patients can not get them in the US today.

Currently our own government requires people to needlessly die from cancer.

Here is the list of identified cancers that respond to canabinoids.
This list is from the federal government agency that has charge of scheduling of drugs.
They could make this medicine available to US citizens within days.

According to the National Institute of Health published in 2006:

glioma (C6,U87, U373, and H4),
oligodendroglioma (Gos3),
glioblas-toma multiforme,
astrocytoma (U373-MG, U87MG, and human grade IV astrocytoma),
neuroblastoma (N18 TG2 and CHP100),
pheochromocytoma (PC12),
breast cancer (MCF-7, EFM-19, T47D, TSA-E1, and MDA-MB-231),
prostate cancer (LNCaP, DU145, and PC3),
colon carcinoma (SW 480),
uterine cervix carcinoma (CxCa),
thyroid cancer (KiMol),
leukemia (CEM, HEL-92, HL60, and Jurkat cell lines),
and lymphoid tumors (EL-4 and P815)

This is only what has been discovered so far.
This was published by the NIH in 2006.
Here is the NIH report pharmrev.aspetjournals.org
The NIH, after publishing this report, still claims that marijuana has no medical value.

Our own government knowingly requires people to die from cancer.
