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.
Human trials!

Too bad I don't have breasts
Have you ever stopped breast cancer from metastasizing...on weed???

I think there is a world market for maybe five personal web logs.
And stop breast cancer at the same time?
... but it does get the cancer to mellow out and be cool and stop causing so many hassles.
You see? You see? Your stupid minds! Stupid! Stupid!
This study is quite obviously flawed. Cannabis, otherwise known as marijuana, is bad. It's just bad! Taking it is wrong! People who take marijuana are bad people.
Marijuana cannot be used to stop cancer. Stopping cancer is good, and marijuana is bad; therefore marijuana cannot logically be used to stop cancer. It's a basic fact!
Why are you promoting the use of this evil drug, when you know that it can only be used for bad not for good. Do you want children to smoke marijuana, and destroy their lives? Do you want them to commit murder and rape so they can feed their evil habits? Do you want them to think that bad things are good? That's just wrong!
We need to defend our children and society from the scourge of drugs. Breast cancer is bad, but that does not mean we should use evil to fight it. Instead, I propose setting up a breast cancer awareness group where people can discuss how breast cancer has affected their lives. That's a real solution to this problem.
We can hold meetings at the local bar, so people have a few drinks and a smoke afterwards.
May the Maths Be with you!
Ah, I know my day is off to a good start when I the first tags that I see are "potheads" and "boobies."
Smashing.
My grandmother used anecdotal evidence all the time, and she lived to be 120 years old.
It would be better that we all died of cancer than ingested something derived from cannabis.

Then they take some hemp seed, creep into the tent, and throw the seed onto the hot stones. At once it begins to smoke, giving off a vapour unsurpassed by any vapour-bath one could find in Greece. The Scythians enjoy it so much they howl with pleasure
