pertaining ... 'marijuana farms' .. I read it's taking a significant toll on the environment & not to mention the water and the poisons in .............. the run off .. ? It seems to be killing all sorts of wildlife ... . here's a couple
Of course the answer is to make it legal and then regulate it and tax it .. but most important to me is to regulate the chemicals and the amount of water they are siphoning off and 'their killing stuff they put in it .. to keep wildlife and I guess bugs and stuff .. away ... .they need to be responsible. I don't want to see our land ruined & wildlife killed by 'pot farmers' poisons .. . lol ........yeah, I know it sounds funny .. but is DOES put a bad tasted in my mouth .... further I don't like the fracking that's going on up in Mendocino County either .... and I just found out about that too .. .in december ... damn .........if we keep this shit up we're going to ruin our state ... .. grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
DD - “Cannabis cure for brain cancer” headline is misleading
.. i respect your expertise on all matters you demonstrate it in, and would appreciate your opinion on this one .. is there much in the article which you question, at all? .. is it a fair presentation of the position? .. is long .. tia, if you ever have time .. :)
Earlier this week the Daily Mail reported that a young US boy’s brain tumour had been “cured” after his father secretly gave him cannabis oil through his feeding tube.
The bold headline hides a more important truth: the boy was also receiving high-dose chemotherapy, and it is this – rather than the cannabis oil – that is likely to have treated his cancer.
Despite the headline, the story points out that the cannabis oil may well have helped to relieve some of the symptoms of the cancer, and treatment side-effects such as pain, nausea and appetite loss. But this isn’t the impression that you get from reading the headline, which arguably implies that cannabis cured the boy’s disease.
We felt it was important to emphasise this distinction. The role of cannabis and its derivatives in treating cancer is the subject of persistent internet myth and rumour, and we’re concerned that this headline may unduly fan these flames.
Cannabis and cancer – the state of play
One strand of the online rumours about cannabis and cancer is that there is some form of conspiracy to prevent research progressing into this area. This is not the case. In fact, we’ve previously written about how cannabinoids – the biologically active chemicals in cannabis – can slow the growth of tumours in lab tests.
