National Cancer Institute Quietly Confirms That Cannabis Treats Cancer

Have you been noticing an influx in mainstream media coverage on the link between marijuana and cancer treatment lately?

No, you haven’t. Because there is no influx.

And that’s a bit odd. Why? Because the National Cancer Institute has announced that cannabis is efficient as a cancer treatment after all.

Here’s the direct quote from their recently updated FAQ page about cannabis:

Studies in mice and rats have shown that cannabinoids may inhibit tumor growth by causing cell death, blocking cell growth, and blocking the development of blood vessels needed by tumors to grow. Laboratory and animal studies have shown that cannabinoids may be able to kill cancer cells while protecting normal cells.

But it doesn’t stop there. The NCI goes on to list several studies which confirm that very statement.

This should be everywhere.

Cancer is a buzzword that news media execs pronounce “cha-ching.” The public is absolutely inundated by stories about the disease.

And yet, what is quite possibly the most important cancer story ever has been just sort of thrown out there to the public with no major media coverage whatsoever.

There are several reasons for that. For one, marijuana as anything but a laziness-inducing, horrible drug doesn’t fit the popular narrative.

To admit that marijuana actually has powerful medical purposes would involve admitting that our law enforcement sector is horrendously in the wrong.

Even with the legalization of marijuana possession in several states, the FBI still reports about a quarter million marijuana-related arrests each year. The peak was in 2007, with over 800,000 arrests for marijuana-related offenses.

Finally now in 2024, the DEA has proposed rescheduling marijuana as a Schedule III controlled substance, instead of a Schedule 1 substance, a step above cocaine.

We also can’t forget that cancer is now a $200 billion a year industry.

According to Forbes, the US spends about double per person on cancer care than other developed countries. They spend $300 per person compared to $600 per person in the US..

Just imagine if everyone found out that a simple herb you can grow in your backyard (not that we’re suggesting you do that – follow the law, people) could cure cancer for a fraction of the cost of pharmaceuticals.

No, that would be too disruptive.

People across the country are being forced to break the law in order to maintain their health.

And it’s not just with cancer. Parents of children with epilepsy who want to put an end to their kids’ suffering are placed in a position where they must become criminals to do so.

The medical industry is supposed to be about innovation and progress, isn’t it? I don’t see either in this scenario.
