Marijuana Cures Cancer
The U.S. Government has known since 1974 that Cannabis could Cure Cancer
In 1974 researchers at the Medical College
of Virginia, funded by the National Institute of Health to
find evidence that marijuana damages the immune system,
found instead that THC slowed the growth of three kinds of
cancer in mice — lung and breast cancer, and a virus-induced
leukemia. The DEA quickly shut down the Virginia study and
all further cannabis/tumor research, according to Jack
Herer, in his book, “The Emperor Wears No Clothes“. Then in
1976 President Gerald Ford put an end to
all public cannabis research for many years.

Government Obtains Patent Rights on Medical Marijuana
In 2003 the Federal Government
obtained patent number 6630507. The patent claims that
“Cannabinoids have been found to have antioxidant
properties, unrelated to NMDA receptor antagonism. This new
found property makes cannabinoids useful in the treatment
and prophylaxis of wide variety of oxidation associated
diseases, such as ischemic, age-related, inflammatory and
autoimmune diseases. The cannabinoids are found to have
particular application as neuroprotectants, for example in
limiting neurological damage following ischemic insults,
such as stroke and trauma, or in the treatment of
neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer’s disease,
Parkinson’s disease and HIV dementia.” The patent, awarded
in 2003, is based on research done by the National Institute
of Health, and is assigned to the US Department of Health
and Human Services. The federal government, through the
operation of government-owned research facilities, research
grants to Universities and procurement contracts with
private industry, funds almost 50% of the national R&D
effort. Because of this enormous funding, the federal
government has the most United States patent rights.
The F.D.A. on April
20th, 2006 Dismissed Medical Benefit From Marijuana
The FDA stating "no sound scientific
studies" supported the medical use of marijuana,
contradicting a 1999 review by a panel of highly regarded
scientists.
7-25-2010 Medical
Marijuana In Veterans Affairs Clinics OK'd In States Where
It's Legal
Patients treated at Veterans
Affairs hospitals and clinics will be able to
use medical marijuana in the states where it's
legal, according to new federal guidelines.
The directive from the Veterans Affairs Department is intended to clarify current policy that says veterans can be denied pain medication if they use illegal drugs. Veterans groups have complained for years that this could bar veterans from VA benefits if they were caught using medical marijuana.

In March, 2011, The
National Cancer Institute proclaimed marijuana to have
medical uses.
Why is this significant? The new NCI
assessment could have an impact on the classification of
marijuana as a Schedule I drug, the harshest possible drug
classification. The principal criteria for a Schedule I
determination is that there is “no currently
accepted medical use in treatment in the United States.”
The U.S. Justice Department will have a hard time
maintaining that claim if challenged, considering a federal
agency now recognizes marijuana’s medical use in cancer
treatment.
July 9th, 2011, The D.E.A. Rules That Marijuana Has No Medical Use.
July 9th, 2011, The D.E.A. Rules That Marijuana Has No Medical Use.
The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration
(DEA) ruled July 9th, 2011 that marijuana has "no accepted
medical use" and should therefore remain illegal under
federal law, regardless of the conflicting State legislation
legalizing Medical Marijuana for patients who are prescribed
marijuana by a Doctor, and despite hundreds of studies and
centuries of medical practice attesting to the drug's
benefits.
The DEA has been arresting Medical Marijuana
Patients and providers for years in States that have
legalized marijuana for Medical use. Though it seems wrong
or even evil to arrest a sick person for using a medicine prescribed by a
Doctor and then throwing them into prison where the medicine
is denied, the Supreme Court has ruled that they have that
right, and they continue the attack against medical
marijuana.
The Times are about to
change.
The writing is on the wall for Medical
Marijuana. Federal Government agencies such as the DEA and
the FDA claim that cannabis has no medical value and yet
other federal agencies say it does have medical use. With
the Veterans Affairs approval of medical marijuana, the
Federal patent on medical marijuana and The National Cancer
Institute now recognizing Marijuana as a Cancer Treatment,
it is only a court case away until marijuana is rescheduled
from a class 1 drug.
More and more evidence of marijuana curing
cancer is a guarantee that the DEA will soon find themselves
out of a job on medical marijuana. Furthermore
Marijuana is currently being used as a natural cure
for Cancer and many other ailments.
That will not change no matter what the DEA or any other
Government agency thinks about it.
As of September 2016 there are 25 States
that have Medical Marijuana Legalized. This is expected to
go National with in the next decade. Over 70% of American
citizens are in favor of Medical Marijuana. The internet
provides instant access to information and studies from
countries world wide on the medical use of marijuana. The
obstruction and lies about medical marijuana is becoming
more and more Politically Incorrect.
