Charles Hynes Mindless bigot ?


"Medical marijuana? You must be high!    Marijuana may provide relief to patients with serious diseases as well as chronic pain sufferers, but the plant contains THC, a psychoactive chemical substance.      Each year, my office — along with the NYPD — seizes large quantities of marijuana that originate from multiple states and even other countries. THC levels vary widely among marijuana depending on the source, and at high levels may adversely affect people with pre-existing health and psychiatric issues.    
Only a licensed physician should be prescribing marijuana with specificity in dosage, just like any other prescription drug. In addition, pesticides, chemicals, and other illegal substances like PCP are found in marijuana, often far beyond dangerous levels."

Marijuana-Tumor Research hidden by U.S. Government


A Spanish medical team’s study released in Madrid in February 2000 has shown that tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the active chemical in marijuana, destroys tumors in lab rats. These findings, however, are not news to the U.S. government. A study in Virginia in 1974 yielded similar results but was suppressed by the DEA, and in 1983 the Reagan/Bush administration tried to persuade U.S. universities and researchers to destroy all cannabis research work done between 1966 and 1976, including compendiums in libraries.
The research was conducted by a medical team led by Dr. Manuel Guzman of Complutence University in Madrid. In the study, brains of 45 lab rats were injected with a cancer cell, which produced tumors. On the twelfth day of the experiment, 15 of the rats were injected with THC and 15 with Win-55, 212-2, a synthetic compound similar to THC. The untreated rats died 12-18 days after the development of the tumors. THC treated rats lived significantly longer than the control group. Although three were unaffected by the THC, nine lived 19-35 days, while tumors were completely eradicated in three others. The rats treated with Win-55,212-2 showed similar results.
In an e-mail interview for this story, the Madrid researcher said he had heard of the Virginia study, but had never been able to locate literature on it. “I am aware of the existence of that research. In fact I have attempted many times to obtain the journal article on the original investigation by theses people, but it has proven impossible,” Guzman said. His response wasn’t surprising, considering that in 1983 the Reagan/Bush administration tried to persuade American universities and researchers to destroy all 1966/76 cannabis research work, including compendiums in libraries, reports Jack Herer. “We know that large amounts of information have since disappeared,” he says.
Guzman provided the title of the work-”Antineoplastic Activity of Cannabinoids,” an article in a 1975 Journal of the National Cancer Institute-and author Raymond Cushing obtained a copy at the UC Medical School Library in Davis, California, and faxed it to Madrid. The 1975 article does not mention breast cancer tumors, which were featured in the only newspaper story ever to appear about the 1974 study in the local section of the Washington Post on August 18, 1974. The headline read, “Cancer Curb Is Studied,” and was followed in part by, “The active chemical agent in marijuana curbs the growth of three kinds of cancer in mice and may also suppress the immunity reaction that causes rejection of organ transplants, a Medical College of Virginia team has discovered. The researchers found that THC slowed the growth of lung cancers, breast cancers, and a virus-induced leukemia in laboratory mice, and prolonged their lives by as much as 36 percent.”
Drug Enforcement Agency officials shut down the Virginia study and all further cannabis research, according to Jack Herer, who reports on these events in his book, The Emperor Wears No Clothes. In 1976, President Gerald Ford put an end to all public cannabis research and granted exclusive research rights to major pharmaceutical companies. These companies set out-unsuccessfully-to develop synthetic forms of THC that would deliver all the medical benefits without the “high.”

Update by Raymond Cushing


When I was a cub reporter twenty-eight years ago at the daily Advocate in Stamford, Connecticut, my first city editor-a white-haired veteran of the International Herald Tribune named Marian Campbell-told me that the cure for cancer was the holy grail of all news stories.
“Unless they discover the cure for cancer,” she would say over the clackety-clack of the manual typewriters, “this paper goes to press on time.”
What I found out a quarter-century later is that not even the cure for cancer is a big enough story to crack the Berlin Wall of media censorship in this country. Toss in the facts that the cure appears to be a benign substance that has been illegal for 63 years, and that the government knowingly suppressed evidence of its curative powers 25 years, and you get twice the storyæand twice the censorship.
I won’t name the “investigative journalists” who didn’t respond when I sent them this story. I won’t list the numerous “progressive” publications that ignored it. I won’t describe the forbidding sense of professional isolation I endured in the months I tried to place the story.
Suffice it to say that it’s what one would expect in a society that has criminalized its own young for two generations around the cannabis issue simply because we were told to do so.
Thousands of innocent people who are in U.S. prisons for possessing or selling “the cure for cancer” await liberation and reparations. Someday our grandchildren will look back and ask, “What did you do to set the cannabis prisoners free?”
Here’s what any responsible journalist should be doing:
Go to primary sources when evaluating cannabis research. The AP and other news organizations love to elevate “bad science” and suppress “good science” when it comes to cannabis. You have to read the original research articles yourself and make your own judgments.
Investigate and report on the war on children that is a major component of the war on drugs. The marijuana laws are the main tool the police use to persecute minors. No other policy affects more families in more insidious and devastating ways than cannabis prohibition.
Learn about the history of cannabis prohibition and about the pharmaceutical, liquor, and tobacco giants that are behind it. If you don’t know the history of cannabis and hemp prohibition, you’re too ignorant to justifiably call yourself a journalist.
If it turns out-as my story would seem to indicate-that cannabis is the cure for cancer and the government suppressed this information for 25 years (and continues to suppress it), then the body count alone will make this the biggest holocaust in recorded history. Virtually all federal drug policy makers of both parties since 1975-including legislators, presidents and the DEA-will be complicit and criminally liable.
That’s why they don’t want this story covered.

What is the TRUTH.

With over 100 million Americans having  tried it at least once, and now 13 states there,have legalized medical Marijuana. What is the TRUTH.

Mounting evidence has shown it is far less dangerous than alcohol and cigarettes, legal medicines, and even caffeine. All have a lethal dose, cannabis’s lethal dose is 1500 Pounds consumed in 15 minutes (impossible) No person has ever overdosed on cannabis ever, not once in the history of the world. It is simply not toxic enough. 450000+ die each year from tobacco cigarettes, while a good 50000+ die from alcohol overdose.
Those high on cannabis are less likely to commit violent acts, Fact,

 IT DOES NOT LEAD TO LUNG CANCER. See studies No, in fact, long-term pot smokers have lower incidence of head, neck, and lung cancers than non-smokers.  Previous preclinical studies assessing the anticancer properties of cannabinoids have shown that they inhibit the proliferation of a wide range of cancers, including brain cancerprostate canceroral cancerslung cancerskin cancer,pancreatic cancerbiliary tract cancers, and lymphoma.

 It does not kill brain cells. In fact, studies are showing that it may in fact STIMULATE brain cells. Read about it http://knowyourcannabis.blogspot.com/2010/09/cannabis-and-cognition-claim.html

It is about as addictive as a peanut, and there are no withdrawal symptoms.

The gateway theory is false. Numerous studies have shown that alcohol and cigarettes are far more likely to lead to hard drugs.

Cannabis And Cognition Claim


Washington, DC: Research published this week in the journal Neurology speculating that marijuana's effects on the cerebrovascular system may bring about residual cognitive deficits in longtime users is not supported by the majority of available clinical evidence.
Numerous prior reviews of marijuana's potential impact on neurocognitive performance include:

2003 meta-analysis published in the Journal of the International Neuropsychological Society that "failed to reveal a substantial, systematic effect of long-term, regular cannabis consumption on the neurocognitive functioning of users who were not acutely intoxicated;"

2002 clinical trial published in the Canadian Medical Association Journal that determined, "Marijuana does not have a long-term negative impact on global intelligence;"

2001 study published in the journal Archives of General Psychiatry that found that long-term cannabis smokers who abstained from the drug for one week "showed virtually no significant differences from control subjects (those who had smoked marijuana less than 50 times in their lives) on a battery of 10 neuropsychological tests." Researchers added, "Former heavy users, who had consumed little or no cannabis in the three months before testing, [also] showed no significant differences from control subjects on any of these tests on any of the testing days;"

1999 clinical trial published in the American Journal of Epidemiology that found "no significant differences in cognitive decline between heavy users, light users, and nonusers of cannabis" over a 15-year period.

More recently, a study published last fall in the journal Psychological Medicineexamining the potential long-term residual effects of cannabis on cognition in monozygotic male twins reported "an absence of marked long-term residual effects of marijuana use on cognitive abilities."
In addition, a scientific review published earlier this month in the journalCurrent Opinion in Pharmacology concluded, "There is little evidence ... that long-term cannabis uses causes permanent cognitive impairment. ... Overall, by comparison with other drugs used mainly for 'recreational' purposes, cannabis could be rated a relatively safe drug."

Long-Term Cannabis Smoking Doesn't Impact Cognition, "Study"




Long-term use of cannabis does not lead to a decline in mental function, according to the results of a large-scale John Hopkins University study.
"There is no convincing evidence that [even] heavy long-term cannabis use impairs memory or other cognitive functions," said Dr. John P. Morgan of City University of New York (CUNY) Medical School. "During the past 30 years, researchers have found, at most, minor cognitive differences between chronic cannabis users and nonusers, and the results differ substantially from one study to another."

The  John Hopkins study examined cannabis's effects on cognition on 1,318 participants over a 15 year period. Researchers gave subjects specialized tests, called Mini-Mental State Examinations (MMSE), in 1981 and 1982. Subjects took follow-up MMSE tests 12 to 15 years later and scientists measured rates of cognitive decline among cannabis smokers and nonsmokers.
Researchers reported "no significant differences in cognitive decline between heavy users, light users, and nonusers of cannabis." They also found "no male-female differences in cognitive decline in relation to cannabis.
"These results ... seem to provide strong evidence of the absence of a long-term residual effect of cannabis use on cognition," they concluded.
The study is the first to investigate the long term effects of cannabis on cognition in a large epidemiological sample.
Researchers did conclude that cognition declines over long time periods in all age groups, but found this decline "closely associated with aging and educational level, [and] ... not ... associated with cannabis use."
The study appears in the American Journal of Epidemiology.

Some Truths Behind Cannabis, Marijuana

Cannabis kills brain cells? NO It doesn’t!
Cannabis kills brain cells is based on research done during the second Reefer Madness Movement. A study attempted to show that Cannabis smoking damaged brain structures in monkeys. However, the study was poorly performed and it was severely criticized by a medical review board. Studies done after wards failed to show any brain damage, in fact a very recent study on Rhesus monkeys used technology so sensitive that scientists could actually see the effect of learning on brain cells, and it found no damage.
No good comes from Cannabis, Wrong!
Wrong. It’s been proven to kill cancer cells. http://knowyourcannabis.com/index.php?p=1_207  (data is 7 years old).
Cannabis can kills you? No it Can’t!
No it doesn’t. There has never been one reported death FROM Cannabis ever!
WHY
I believe the governments of the world made Cannabis  illegal, for one or two reasons, Money and Racism. You see, since cannabis can be naturally grown like any other plant, it would be easy for cancer patients ext, to get their hands on a natural remedy and cure their cancer, see Cannabis Oil Cure Cancerhttp://knowyourcannabis.com/index.php?p=1_205  The Rick Simpson story  RUN FROM THE CURE . But because of this, the massive income made by the international pharmaceutical corporations would plummet, thus creating a drop in income, something No Government or corporation wants, and it's an easy way to control the minorities.  

Autophagy Therapy

 Autophagy is when cancer cells  undergo programmed cell death (apoptosis).
There is only one cure that I know, that uses autophagy, and that is THC.  Thus, THC activates a series of events within cancer cells, inhibiting tumour growth.
 By binding to certain cell-surface receptors, THC activates a cell signalling pathway that leads to cell death. Cannabinoid action induces autophagy-mediated cell death. A new study by Salazar et al. in The Journal of Clinical Investigation demonstrates that Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the main active component of marijuana, induces human glioma cell death through stimulation of autophagy. 
Our data indicate that THC induced ceramide accumulation and eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2α (eIF2α) phosphorylation and thereby activated an ER stress response that promoted autophagy via tribbles homolog 3–dependent (TRB3-dependent) inhibition of the Akt/mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) axis. 
We also showed that autophagy is upstream of apoptosis in cannabinoid-induced human cancer cell death and that activation of this pathway was necessary for the antitumour action of cannabinoids in vivo. These findings describe a mechanism by which THC can promote the autophagic death of human cancer cells and provide evidence that cannabinoid administration may be an effective therapeutic strategy for targeting human cancers.  

Ph levels and cancer

let’s first look at how Ph level relate to cancer cells .Formation of Cancer Cells, (respiration to fermentation). The energized cell membrane creates a condition where glucose can enter the cell, and oxygen cannot. glucose undergoes fermentation to Lactic acid  cell pH drops to 6.5. Lactic acid attacks the DNA, destroying template action. Messenger RNA is changed and the control mechanism of the cell is destroyed. In the acid medium, enzymes within the cell become toxic, eventually bringing about the death of the cell. A tumour, therefore, consists of a layer of living cells with uncontrolled growth surrounding a central mass of dead cells.  
So there are a number ways to raise the PH of the body, I know of two therapies, both can target the cancer cells very well.  "Maple syrup & Baking soda" and "Cesium"
