This is the result of one person and from the looks of it they sure went through a lot of trouble to document this one case and attempt to tie it to Cannabis. I wonder if these same Dr's would put the same effort into testing Cannabis oil to see if it would heal cancer? My guess is they will not.
If one patient is enough to conclude results, than pharmacy meds are highly dangerous as people die all the time, vaccines are highly dangerous as many have died, and GMO food causes cancer. So which way do these Doctors wish to go? I'm willing to admit pot causes cancer if they'll admit the above. But of course it's always different when talking about stuff they profit from as opposed to stuff they won't profit from.
Did any place in this study show the type of cannabis he was consuming? Was it swagg sprayed with roundup and other chemicals? Did he lie about smoking cigarettes? What kind of food did he eat? Why did he only have chest pains for 3 months and not years before? Did they drug test him to see the levels of cannabinoids? If so, what were they? How is this not in the report? Did this patient do other drugs? If so, what were they, and what were the levels in his system at the time?
You can use the results on this site alone to prove there is people who have smoked longer than this guy, yet don't show similar cancer, why?
I'm not impressed nor would any rational person take this for anything more than what it is, one persons experience, and not even a well documented one at that.
If you mix bleach and ammonia you make mustard gas and will kill yourself. If you use only one product at a time you can clean your house to a sparkling shine.
The potentially carcinogenic elements you fear MUST be neutralized by cannabis and the human body OR cannabis smokers would contract cancer.
SINCE cannabis smokers are NOT contracting cancer; smoking cannabis DOES NOT cause cancer.
Did you go through these studies?
No, it's not my evidence because I don't have a fixed opinion at this time. Cannabis could cause no cancer, or it could cause cancer. There isn't enough data to provide a factual answer yet.This is pretty funny. This is your evidence after thousands of years of use, millions of users, and countless tax payer sponsored grants to literally try to "pin" something on Cannabis and this is the best studies available?
Wait ... let me give you my tin foil hat!I'd bet if you contacted every single one of these Doctors and asked probing questions, you'd quickly find out these are not relevant to anything but those reaching for a reason to justify trillion spent on a failed drug war and a billion dollar pharmaceutical industry.
Sorry, but I don't hold your understanding of "scientific evidence" in high regard. Nothing personal against you, I just don't know you, and you haven't built up a rep as someone who knows about science, yet.I have written many of these Doctors regarding their studies and will report back to see if they have any scientific evidence that these patients used Cannabis at all. If you wish to say someone smoked from 14 to 26, I suggest you have one of the many drug testing methods available for proof of such a claim. Taking someones word is not scientific.

use your analytical mind...real scientific evidence is lacking in volume, clarity and agreement. No one knows the answer(s), yet.
GW is a UK-based company but its research network and operations stretches around the world. To date, GW has exported Sativex and other cannabinoid research materials to a total of 28 countries. The export of Sativex has been both for the purposes of supplying prescriptions as well as for use in clinical trials. The list of countries includes much of Europe, as well as the US and Canada, Australasia, South Africa and parts of Latin America
shouldn't Sativex™ be capitalized?

couldn't help myself
Vaping is much harder on my lungs than properly cooled smoke. Reckon results vary.

plus 1 for this quote too many egos get in the way of the search for the truth around here. After reading this thread start to finish gota say Spurr interesting knee jerk reaction you got there. Look how fast so many people lost sight of objectivity (if they ever had it in the first place) in the name of defending pot. Anyway big fan of your work keep it up.I like it when people point out to me where I may be wrong, so I can consider their point and make corrections, if needed. I think that type of attitude needs to spread to all other ICmagers ... too many ICmagers think no one should question their posts. I don't want to be one of those rubes
