"So cannabis is only anti-cancer if you eat a whole lot of it and it has to be the right strain?" Cannabis shows anti cancer properties when smoked. But that's only in general population studies. Such as a smaller percentage of consumers get cancer. We could take a slice off the nations health care by requiring that marijuana get added to cigarettes. A slightly smaller percentage of smokers would get cancer. How many? Good question. More than one. More than ten. More than a hundred. More than a thousand. THC added to cigarette tar completely turns off the tars cancer propagation properties. Studies have shown that many cancers have their cannabinoid receptors blocked. That suggests that a cannabis attack against a cancer should include as many pathways into the cancer cells as possible. As many different cannabinoids as possible. All at the same time. You are a consumer of cannabinoids. A little over a year ago they discovered that the compound responsible for the taste and smell of black pepper is a cannabinoid. It's the same active compound that works against a toothache when you put a drop of oil of cloves on the tooth. No high .. just kills the pain .. at hyper speed. Just a couple of seconds and the pain is gone. That gives you a small indication of what cannabinoids are able to do with the human body. No high .. just the pain gone. I am much more interested in the materials that don't get a person high then I am interested in THC.
