This is where a lack of knowledge is showing. Because you have been "told" that cannabis is harmful, you "know" it is true. However what if I told you that cannabis can cure cancer? Sounds like I'd be making that up, well not according to the National Cancer Institute.....

Here's an excerpt from another website:

One way cannabinoids kills cancer:
Essentially a lot of upcoming research in cancer treatment is being done around reducing the signal protein VEGF (Vascular endothelial growth factor). VEGF is what lets cancer cells get food/protein and grow. Many attempts are being made to create medicines that reduce VEGF levels with little success, while cannabinoids have always been able to do this effectively enough to kill cancer.

Here is the how it works IN A NUTSHELL:

Blocking VEGF -> Stops Cancer growth -> Left over cancer has no way to get food and dies.

Cannabinoids like CBD and many others were able to stop the tumors ability to receive their proteins needed to grow and was able to stop tumor growth in it's tracks. While - the continued blocking of VEGF prevents the tumor from even maintaining itself, at which point the tumors begin to die! This is one of the most important breakthrough in understanding cannabis and it's ability to outright kill cancer - while protecting the cells around the cancer (which many therapy's like chemo cannot achieve - hence the loss of hair and attack on the rest of the body that big pharmas cancer medicines inflict.)

So tell me again why maintaining a plant known to have extremely positive health benefits as illegal because some people actually enjoy ingesting it....???
