What do you think makes cannabis so special in treating cancer? The flavanoids or the cannabiods or whatnot.

In other words, have you realized cannabis has apigenin in it? What other features of cannaibs help cancer?

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.

This right here is likely huge. Senescence (the aging process, pre-planned cell death) is critical for pretty much all life forms on Earth and cannabinoids/terpenes seem pretty instrumental in making sure senescence happens properly in marijuana. These compounds keep humans healthy because they were designed to keep plants healthy and we share much of the same biology. Cannabis had already solved the fundamental biological problems that humans face everyday, but it did it millions of years ago and without needing harmful antibiotics or addictive opioids.

I remember reading something about cannabinoids and the immune system, maybe I saved the paper. Anywho, it had something to do with the CB2 receptors and how they are present in a lot of the tissues that have influence over our immune system. Keeping the system healthy or super charged may have some bearing on how our body’s natural defenses fight things.

There is also the placebo effect of hope. With many things not fully understood about cannabis. Our hope in the known and unknown lift our spirits and attitudes. A positive attitude goes a long way in dealing with adversities. Altering or diverting ones fears through the temporary effects of cannabis is very peaceful and soothing. This reinforcement of circumstances contributes to a better emotional and physical state of mind. That is why I end every post with Peace.

well the shape and form of the cannabinoid imparts knowledge and info to our cell walls via biochemical pathways. form affecting function.... and the cannabinoid is crystal and crystals store information while the lipid coating provides a carbon fuel for the crystal to go through cellular membranes or biphasic ....

the antioxidant properties of THC are a big part of it, & i'd bet a pretty penny that many of the other 80 some cannabinoids known so far will eventually be shown to aid in the efficiency shown so far of THC & CBD. the "entourage effect" of whole plant uses far outweighs use of just one or two elements. this was demonstrated clearly during the development of vitamin C as a dietary supplement. researchers discovered that the purer it got, the less effective it was. i think cannabis will be much the same once researchers really dig into it. just one more reason Big Pharma has little interest....i think they already KNOW. they will cling to their golden geese as long as possible...
