Cannabinoids (CB's) are the active components of marijuana. They are effective in reducing pain and they kill cancer cells without the toxicity of chemotherapy, instead protecting nearby healthy cells. CB's stop the spread of breast cancer and help prevent lung cancer even when smoked (but only in the absence of tobacco). Every cancer they study is inhibited by CB's. At lower doses, the spread of cancer is stopped, and at higher doses the tumors shrink.
All animal bodies make their own CB's. Mother's milk is highest in animal CB's the first 24 hours after birth. Migraine headaches, fibromyalgia, and irritable bowel syndrome are thought to be the result of a deficiency of CB. Other conditions helped by cannabinoids include seizures, Crohn's Disease, Parkinson's, PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder), COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease), multiple sclerosis and glaucoma.
US Patent 6630507; it is titled "Cannabinoids as Antioxidants and Neuroprotectants," . It reads in part:
"Cannabinoids have been found to have antioxidant properties, [making] cannabinoids useful in the treatment and prophylaxis of wide variety of oxidation associated diseases, such as ischemic, age-related, inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. The cannabinoids are found to have particular application as neuroprotectants, for example in limiting neurological damage following ischemic insults, such as stroke and trauma, or in the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease and HIV dementia."
Now guess who took out this patent. Our Federal government! Health and Human Services! It was obtained in 2003.

Pregnant women should not be afraid to use cannabis
since it appears marijuana may be beneficial to the unborn infant. The infant death rate of babies born with cannabis in their systems vs. babies without cannabis is cut by almost one-half! PEDIATRICS Vol. 100 No. 1 July 1997, pp. 79-83
Jesus used the cannabis-laden holy anointing oil of Ex. 30 to heal the people, a practice considered by the religious leaders to be forbidden for anyone except themselves. They got so angry about it all they crucified Him and persecuted His followers. And so it goes to this day.
Our government is "hooked" on the money and power cannabis prohibition brings. Many moneyed interests support and feed the Prohibition Monster. Talk to people about what prohibition is really costing us. Listen to their fears with compassion for the years of lies they have been fed. Offer them the truth as you know it to be. Keep the faith and spread the Good News about cannabis.
God bless,
