My dead horse ain't so dead excon 05/27/06

    Hello drugwarriors:

    Upon further review, the recent study by Dr. Donald Tashkin of UCLA goes much further in suggesting that THC inhibits the growth of cancer cells, than I had previously gathered.

    As a drugwarrior, he said of the study, "Our major hypothesis, was that heavy, long-term use of marijuana will increase the risk of lung and upper-airways cancers." However, Tashkin concluded, "we failed to observe a positive association of marijuana use and lung, and upper-airway cancers."

    He goes on, “it would be difficult to extract from these data the conclusion that marijuana is protective against lung cancer. But that is not an unreasonable hypothesis."

    This is big. THC could be the cure for cancer!!! If you were diagnosed with inoperable cancer, would you try pot?

      Probably. But I would get a prescription for it. And if I couldn't get a prescription to get it legally, and nothing else was working, only THEN would I consider an illegal act to obtain it. Because at that point, I will have nothing left to lose, and I'm willing to risk jail to save my life.

      But I wouldn't go out an buy pot just to get high because I feel like it and don't think the law is fair. And if I did, I certainly wouldn't blame the law for my decisions.
