Hey You! Yeah... You with that seed jar!!

[Hydro-Soil]

Hiyas

My family is looking for seeds of genetics that are going to be most effective strains for ingesting as an anti-radiation regimen.

What strains (if any) do people know would be best for anti-cancer effects when ingested and where would be the best place for me to go and get them?

#1 Radiation levels will be increasing significantly over the next couple of decades as Japan continues to off-gas Nano-particles of radioactive fallout.

#2 Inhaling a particle or having a particle in the surface of your skin WILL bathe the millions of cells around it with cancer causing radiation for thousands of years. (This particle WON'T set off a radiation counter unless it floats directly in front of it.)

#3 THC (and possibly other cannabinoids) kill cancer cells on contact and also work to prevent abnormal angiogenesis (The formation of blood vessels; necessary for cancer tumors to function)

#4 The human body can be completely saturated with cannabinoids (through ingestion) without impairing the individual. Yes, there is an adjustment period but functionality is not lost as long as sativa dominant strains are used.


So... anyone know where I can get genetics good for putting baseline levels of cannabinoids in your system... specifically anti-cancer/radiation strains?

Thanks so much, lots of people here in the mountains will appreciate the information.

Stay Safe Everyone!

I miss read your post, edited because of this.

 

[daheadies]

sounds like you answered the question your self.. (Although I think this is a GREAT thread to start)
-But I would assume that anything w/ a higher percent of THC and other cannabinoids is prob better for cancer prevention..

My Suggestion= OG18 .. I got it tested.. 28.5% thc, and high CBD but I forget exactly what it was..
-Then again, im no doctor, and prob not many on IC..

 

[Bonghitz]

Hmmm...that's a novel idea...although I can't see high levels of cannabinoids in your system mitigating radiation from a nuclear meltdown...nice idea but you'd probably be better off eating foods rich in antioxidants.

No offense intended but I think you're barking up the wrong tree if you're looking for the strain of pot that will cure cancer (talk about a holy grail!).

Good luck to you in your quest. Prove me wrong!!

P.S. Here's a supercool chart full of information about radiation damage. And don't worry, bananas are still safe to eat.

Ocimum sanctum: common name holy basil : auyrvedic name Tulsi. Probably a better bet for radiation than cannabis. However nothing wrong with a little synergistic action so might as well use both. Disclaimer I am not a doctor nor do I know if they are compatible so seek proper medical advice before using any herb.

 

[TruthOrLie]

maybe this is the push Japan needed to legalize MMJ

EDIT: Was it too soon? It was too soon, wasn't it?

 

[i.love.scotch]

Maybe go for an oldschool/landrace indica, something that hasn't been bred for high thc levels so it will still have a broader spectrum of cannabinoids.

I don't really agree w/ your #1 point. Too many nuclear explosions have happened around the world over the decades for one nuclear melt down to have a significant affect on global radiation levels.

 

[ixnay007]

1. You're going to get much more damaging radiation up there in the mountains because the air is thinner, and the UVA and UVB rays reach you more easily.

2. CBD, not THC has some initial trials which have shown a lot of promise in eliminating certain types of cancer..

3. Sativas are easier to smoke a lot of simply because they don't have lots of CBN and CBD which make you sleepy, and couchlocked.

Sounds like along with a potential nuclear threat comes the possibility of long-term anxiety issues. I can't say what's best for radiological decontamination but for anxiety I'd recommend sweet tooth or blueberry strains or even better their resin extracts like bubble hash and dry sift. Good luck in your search.

#3 THC (and possibly other cannabinoids) kill cancer cells on contact and also work to prevent abnormal angiogenesis (The formation of blood vessels; necessary for cancer tumors to function)

sources?


if THC killed cancerous cells on contact it would be a WAYYYY bigger part of daily life for the average joe.

in fact if you could prove that smoking a joint would kill cancer (and actually back it up scientifically) than you would be the pioneer for cannabis legalization and could probably have it done by the end of the year (with enough funding).

I've heard of it helping with cancerous tumors, but to actually say it 'kills cancer cells on contact' is a bit of a stretch.

 

[SOTF420]

THC does kill cancer cells I have been seeing research supporting that all over the place recently and supposedly the Government has known this for many years.

Go figure.

 

[hopleaf]

ubc chemo. a strain developed by the univeristy of british columbia for chemo therapy patients. this is a very effective strain for cancer patients and people have been known to hold on to plants for decades becuase of how special it is.

 

[TruthOrLie]

yea, big secret to keep from the Russians and Japanese.

fight USA nukes with marijuana.

LOL. Wow. Now We know why this shit has been made out to be the devil.

Its the secret weapon to our secret weapons!

Obviously most of you are unaware of what's happening. (Watching/reading/listening to the media will do that to a person)


This is not the fallout from a "Nuclear Explosion" that is most talked about. This is dirty, fissile material getting so hot that it's actually boiling metal and throwing superheated particles into the air.

MOST fallout from nuclear bombs becomes non-radioactive within seconds to a few days. Again... this is NOT bomb fallout.




These pits are going to continue to spew uranium and plutonium and strontium and other radioactive particles into the air for DECADES.

This means that within 10 years the background radiation levels on the northern hemisphere will most likely be way over "Liveable" levels. As the fallout keeps being produced and keeps falling across the states... the background levels will go up and up.

Keep in mind that these particles have a half-life of thousands of years.... after which they will only be HALF as dangerous as they are now.


And yeah.... THC does kill cancer cells on contact. Considering the number of fallout particles we're ALL going to eventually have in our bodies.... we're going to constantly need protection so it only makes sense.

Thanks for participating


Edit: One of the reactors is emitting a neutron beam, just like chernobyl, for fucks sake! You still think there isn't an issue? Only time before no one will work in the area anymore and the remaining coolant systems quit working. That's SIX reactors getting bathed in enough radiation for it to penetrate the shielding of the reactor and heat up the cold cores. (Yeah... they had to go in and turn on the active water cooling on COLD reactors to KEEP them cold.)

Insanity. Welcome to Mad Max.

 

[TruthOrLie]

So are you predicting this is going to be worse than Chernobyl?

Oh c'mon now..

This is not the fallout from a "Nuclear Explosion" that is most talked about. This is dirty, fissile material getting so hot that it's actually boiling metal and throwing superheated particles into the air.

Except it's not, if it's hot enough to do that, it's already at meltdown, right now it's sending off plumes of boiling water, hydrogen, etc..

MOST fallout from nuclear bombs becomes non-radioactive within seconds to a few days. Again... this is NOT bomb fallout.

A good part of it does, not all of it, there are quite a few long lived isotopes..

These pits are going to continue to spew uranium and plutonium and strontium and other radioactive particles into the air for DECADES.

If, and it's a big f'ing if, the sites go into meltdown, they might, except that they'll probably be doing what they did in chernobyl, covering it with a gigantic cement tomb, which will prevent said particles from escaping..

This means that within 10 years the background radiation levels on the northern hemisphere will most likely be way over "Liveable" levels. As the fallout keeps being produced and keeps falling across the states... the background levels will go up and up.

You're paid to think up worst case scenarios?

Keep in mind that these particles have a half-life of thousands of years.... after which they will only be HALF as dangerous as they are now.

Half lives have nothing to do with the danger posed by the elements, many are much worse when they've decayed.

And yeah.... THC does kill cancer cells on contact. Considering the number of fallout particles we're ALL going to eventually have in our bodies.... we're going to constantly need protection so it only makes sense.

No, it doesn't. If this were so, you could make topical thc cream and cure skin cancer patients. It has uses, but it's by no means THC by itself, CBDs have a lot to offer, but they're not panaceas.

Thanks for participating

Thanks for the hyperbole and misinformation?

Ok, now you're just being dumb. The cores were SCRAMed when the earthquake hit (meaning they were actually working before), but strangely enough, it takes about a week of proper cooling to get the cores down to a temperature where they no longer are in fusion. The cooling was inadequate, due to pumps and systems damaged by earthquake+tsunami, and the situation you're seeing now is the trying to properly cool the cores to complete the shutdown..

That was a post nuclear apocalyptic scenario.. no nukes have been launched yet.

The cores aren't the problem. The used fuel pools that have boiled dry and are exposed to the atmosphere are the real problem. The following pictures are of reactor 4s spent fuel pool. Reactor 4s pool not only has the spent fuel but also the active fuel rods which were removed from the core months ago for maintenance.

Unlike the cores there is absolutely no containment going on here, the fuel rods are completely exposed. The scary thing is we know from past experience with nuclear accidents that officials usually try to hide unpleasant findings from the public. The company running the Fukushima plant has a bad history of coverups.

 

[TruthOrLie]

so if you were to touch that liquid in those pictures, would it melt you or freeze you?

Those are another problem, but the biggest problem right now is that the cores are not receiving adequate cooling..

Yeah, those are bad, but they're not releasing near as much radiation as the ones in the only recently shutdown core..
