Cannabis Compound Said To "Halt Cancer"

h.ross.perot informs us of research out of the California Pacific Medical Center Research Institute suggesting that a compound found in cannabis may stop breast cancer from metastasizing. Cannabidiol, or CBD, could develop into a non-toxic alternative to chemotherapy some years down the road, if animal and human trials bear out its effectiveness. The article notes that smoking cannabis will not deliver significant quantities of CBD.

The problem is, I think, that the pharmaceutical industry stands to lose a ton if someone finds a good cure for cancer and is trying to hold it back for purely financial reasons.

Well, fuck 'em. Some things are more important than money. Human life is priceless.

providing me with a detailed report about the fucking obvious, i refuse to accept the fucking obvious"

same fucking rhetoricla situation

dude: it is fucking obvious that profit-driven healthcare is morally, logically, functionally, and logistically inferior to government healthcare. both suck, but profit-driven healthcare is FAR WORSE on any measurement that cares about results

and you want evidence of that?

about the fucking obvious?

sorry, i'm not in the business of spoonfeeding people intellectual charity

if you want to misrepresent my resistence to providing you with proof of the fucking obvious as an inability to provide you with proof of the fucking obvious, then you go on with your bad self

i guess the sky is green too
