    Pot compound found to stop Cancer

    A pair of scientists at California Pacific Medical Center in San Francisco has found that a compound derived from marijuana could stop metastasis in many kinds of aggressive cancer, potentially altering the fatality of the disease forever.

    But remember kids, smoking it won't help, and the smoke has carcinogens compounds in it.

    Yeah , just wait till big pharma gets hold of it though ,and their selling it to us for over £300 a month like Sativex.

    People will just say F-it and smoke it any way , if its legal I would , given the NHS is unlikely to front that money..

    Besides with ATOS about to destroy our much needed funds for ongoing care, I cant see the UK government ever allowing us to get relief through pot. Thats when they'll put on their morality hat while ensuring they slowly suck the lives out of us any way.

    Re: Pot compound found to stop Cancer

    It is 'just' another naturally occurring substance that has medicinal properties, along with aspirin, digitalis, and the vinca-alkaloids found in the Madagascan Periwinkle.

    Once discovered, most of these drugs are synthesised, just as the active ingredient in this case has been.

    So strip away the emotive 'cannabis' tag and it another interesting and potentially beneficial discovery that is a long way from a prescibable drug, there is still a lot of development and years of clinical trials to complete.

    Dont remind me, you have any idea how many times Ive heard the New Cure only to realise there's a big but at the end ?

    Too many I can tell you

    Im more interested in how this reflects on the more positive nature rather than all the BS reported about it ( even with the smoking ) at least it doesnt endanger you the same way alcohol does.

    Re: Pot compound found to stop Cancer

    But the active drug that may eventually become a drug useful in cancer treatment is not one of the psychoactive compounds (according to the article you cited) and it goes on to say that the amount ingested by smoking would be well below the anicipated therapeutic effects anyway.

    And the fact that a drug may have a therapeutic effects in specific disease control doesn't mean that they are harmless!

    The vinca-alkaloids I referred to earlier are potent cytotoxics used in cancer treatment, but you wouldn't take them on a whim, they would kill you without appropriate medical supervision and support.
