have you seen the u tube thing on Marijuana for a cancer cure?

Yes I’ve seen it.

It’s a number of unsubstantiated testimonials – no way of knowing if these people had ever had the conditions they claimed, and certainly no way of knowing if they’d been ‘cured’.

But I’ll accept they had those conditions. And as I’ve had cancer, the ones who’d had cancer were the ones to whom I paid most attention. And you know what? – they’d had conventional treatment too, but had chosen to credit the hemp oil with the improvement in their condition.

This often happens with alternative treatments – a patient has chemo and feels crap, because chemo makes you feel crap. After the chemo is over, s/he takes some ‘alternative’ medicine; soon s/he begins to feel better. Well, that’s no surprise, you do begin to feel better when chemo is over. But s/he chooses to give the credit for feeling better, and for subsequent improvements in her/his condition, to the unproven alternative rather than to the conventional treatments, which have been rigourously tested and proven in double-blind clinical trials.

And that’s what’s happened here.

I had surgery, chemo and radiotherapy four years ago for an aggressive, advanced cancer; I am fit and well, with no sign of cancer at my last routine check-up. Chemo and rads aren’t perfect, far from it; but we know because they have been tested and proven that they save many lives and prolong many others. The cancer patients in the film are fit and well following conventional treatment too.

And anything that claims to cure everything from cancer to weight problems to insomnia has to be regarded with suspicion at best

marijuana is the answer. continue fighting the man!

Marijuana isn’t a cure for cancer. People use marijuana when they have their cancer treatments to reduce the vomiting.
