Another Reason To Legalize Marijuana: It Can Now Fight Cancer

Now I'm totally open to the idea that maybe cancer research just doesn't want to kill a cash cow. It wouldn't be the first charity to see the benefits of profiteering from misery. All I'm saying is how much proof do we really have that it actually "cures cancer"? Slow growth? Yeah, ok. Probably. Stop it altogether and reverse it? No.

Oh, crap. Same argument as first crazy lady. A cure is a cash cow! People will still get cancer and need a cure. Marijuana is not a fucking cure for cancer. Bob Marley died from cancer.

Yes, you are, and I just woke up less than four hours after I fell asleep. My bad. Going back to bed now.

Insomnia huh? No worries, more than acquainted with it.

It may help with some aspects of some cancers, but it certainly doesn't cure it. I imagine that it helps greatly with mentally dealing with it and helps with the pain... that, to me, is reason alone to legalise weed.

I usually smoke it, but I vaporise aswell, I just like the feel of smoking it. I do, however, know there is a greater chance of me getting cancer from smoking it and I imagine that smoking it isn't going to help with cancer nearly as much as other ways.

Whilst it may help with some strains of cancer, it is also well known that it is linked to the cause of other strains, for example:

Smoke is carcinogenic. Smoking anything may cause cancer. Let me know when they do a study that includes vaporization & edibles.

Duly noted. I didn't actually know that!

But I wasn't actually getting at the information, it's just the way people go about getting weed legalised. If you want to legalise weed for being good for you or harmless then by that reasoning alcohol and smoking should be made illegal for being bad for you and harmful, and I don't think that's the case. I smoke cigarettes and I don't know what I'd do if I couldn't have a beer after work. But those things are legal because people wanted it to be. I think it should be the same for weed.

... I'm getting a feeling we're all going to get raided now.

Ya' know what really sucks??


I'm allergic to the blessed weed...yeah go figure BUT I do perceive that it should be legalised.
