NIDA: Cannabis Kills Cancer Cells

The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), a government-run research institute with a budget of over $1 billion, has admitted that cannabis can kill certain cancer cells, and reduces the size of others.

A publication from NIDA, revised as of April 2015 and titled Drug Facts, states that “recent animal studies have shown that marijuana can kill certain cancer cells and reduce the size of others.” It notes that; “Evidence from one animal study suggests that extracts from whole-plant marijuana can shrink one of the most serious types of brain tumors”, and that; “Research in mice showed that these extracts, when used with radiation, increased the cancer-killing effects of the radiation.”

This publication is the first time NIDA has officially declared medical cannabis to have true medical value, and is directly contrary to the substances schedule 1 controlled substance status, meaning it has no known medical value.

This is really big! For a government agency, such as NIDA saying that cannabis kills cancer. WOW! I guess the cat is outta the bag now. No more denial that cannabis has "no medicinal value". It's just a matter of time now until the government (DEA) will have to move cannabis to at least Schedule 2. It's about fuckin' time! They have been lying about cannabis for over 70 years.

Guess the government is going to finally try to cash in on the patents they filled for this stuff back in 2003...

The hypocrisy is absurd...bunch of dirty crooks.

Don't think for one second they are moving forward with these matters for anything other than their own benefit. It isn't out of their kind hearted desire to help humanity...they didn't sudden grow a conscious...

No. They have lost the battle and control is slipping. They have to find some way to save face and in the process make adjustments to grab the reigns again.

That is ALL they are doing...DEREGULATION is the only answer. No schedule

Cannabis will be come the next poppy...wait and see.

april fools. article not found. anywhere.

I found the article on a few different sites but the link back to NIDA doesnt seem to work on any of them. I really despise fake news reports so I hope this is not bogus. If it is fake, my deepest apologies to the IC Mag community!
 
that's not what we're looking for. we're looking for an article about marijuana reducing tumors. you're never gonna find it on the NIDA page. nida is the wing of the govt that says drugs are dangerous and alcohol and tobacco are good for a healthy diet.

Here is a copy and paste from the link I provided. Stating what the op was saying about reducing the size of tumors. If you want more detailed info about it, you're right, the govt. probably won't give out much more than this at the moment. At least it's a start!

For instance, recent animal studies have shown that marijuana extracts may help kill certain cancer cells and reduce the size of others. Evidence from one cell culture study suggests that purified extracts from whole-plant marijuana can slow the growth of cancer cells from one of the most serious types of brain tumors. Research in mice showed that treatment with purified extracts of THC and CBD, when used with radiation, increased the cancer-killing effects of the radiation (Scott, 2014).

dunno what happened, i clicked the link again and it points to a different page now. before it was pointing to some propaganda page about the dangers of marijuana.

This has been known since the early seventies.....

“Antineoplastic activity of cannabinoids,” an article in a 1975 Journal of the National Cancer Institute — and this writer obtained a copy at the UC medical school library in Davis and faxed it to Madrid.

The summary of the Virginia study begins, “Lewis lung adenocarcinoma growth was retarded by the oral administration of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabinol (CBN)” — two types of cannabinoids, a family of active components in marijuana. “Mice treated for 20 consecutive days with THC and CBN had reduced primary tumor size.”

The 1975 journal article doesn’t mention breast cancer tumors, which featured in the only newspaper story ever to appear about the 1974 study — in the Local section of the Washington Post on August 18, 1974. Under the headline, “Cancer Curb Is Studied,” it read in part:

“The active chemical agent in marijuana curbs the growth of three kinds of cancer in mice and may also suppress the immunity reaction that causes rejection of organ transplants, a Medical College of Virginia team has discovered.” The researchers “found that THC slowed the growth of lung cancers, breast cancers and a virus-induced leukemia in laboratory mice, and prolonged their lives by as much as 36 percent.”

Try searching for the pdf by name, maybe Google cached it or someone saved it before they tried to drop it down the memory hole. Everyone seems to forget the Internet is forever. and by everyone i mean people who think just because you delete a link the information is gone. not you specifically or anything.

it's the same thing as that link a couple posts up at the nida website.

Cannabinoids Inhibit the Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Pathway in Gliomas


Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology I, School of Biology, Complutense University, Madrid, Spain.
Cancer Research (Impact Factor: 9.33). 09/2004; 64(16):5617-23. DOI: 10.1158/0008-5472.CAN-03-3927
Source: PubMed

ABSTRACT
Cannabinoids inhibit tumor angiogenesis in mice, but the mechanism of their antiangiogenic action is still unknown. Because the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) pathway plays a critical role in tumor angiogenesis, here we studied whether cannabinoids affect it. As a first approach, cDNA array analysis showed that cannabinoid administration to mice bearing s.c. gliomas lowered the expression of various VEGF pathway-related genes. The use of other methods (ELISA, Western blotting, and confocal microscopy) provided additional evidence that cannabinoids depressed the VEGF pathway by decreasing the production of VEGF and the activation of VEGF receptor (VEGFR)-2, the most prominent VEGF receptor, in cultured glioma cells and in mouse gliomas. Cannabinoid-induced inhibition of VEGF production and VEGFR-2 activation was abrogated both in vitro and in vivo by pharmacological blockade of ceramide biosynthesis. These changes in the VEGF pathway were paralleled by changes in tumor size. Moreover, intratumoral administration of the cannabinoid Delta9-tetrahydrocannabinol to two patients with glioblastoma multiforme (grade IV astrocytoma) decreased VEGF levels and VEGFR-2 activation in the tumors. Because blockade of the VEGF pathway constitutes one of the most promising antitumoral approaches currently available, the present findings provide a novel pharmacological target for cannabinoid-based therapies
