Very interesting. Looks promising.

There is no medical use for MJ. My government told me so.

[zeaal]

I wonder about other cancers such as esophageal is this will help?

[stuartcr]

Along with a bunch of freepers...

you forgot the barf alert

[Brilliant]

Does this mean that it’s ok for mice to smoke tobacco, too, then?

A little toke will clear up your nausea, don't you know?

[claudiustg]

The smoker you get...

Was I finished?

[bigfootbob]

Is it cocktail hour already? The article stated the researchers injected synthetic THC next to the tumors. It doesn’t sound like your FReeper handle fits.

Pot is worse than cancer. My government told me so.

[MAexile]

Yes, but will insurance cover the Doritos too?

[claudiustg]

Only if you’re illegal.

This is not medical marijuana. It is THC concentrated at the site and KILLS the cells. Shows that THC is NOT beneficial to healthy cells.

Pot and guns: go librarians! (I mean libertarians)

[advertising guy]

[RDTF]

that was funny

[justt bloomin]

hehe

[Rightfootforward]

Our dear neighbor, a man who has NEVER smoked in his life, was diagnosed with esophageal cancer several months ago. He’s doing well, thank God. But let us not get carried away with the assumption that being a non-smoker guarantees much of anything.

Man stop bogartin’ that mickey.........

“Shows that THC is NOT beneficial to healthy cells.”

It shows no such thing. What it shows is that in a large dose or concentration it’s not beneficial.
