No ,it wont shut them up as they're insane,it is the "Reefer Madness" proponents that are the ones suffering from a cannabis induced mental disease, just the thought of cannabis seems to send these"people" into a frenzy of stupidity, the garbage that comes from the mouths of these "people" defies logic eg. cannabis 25-30 x times stronger than 30 years ago ! Yet people like myself who have used cannabis for longer than 30 years KNOW this is a lie,the stats do not support this nonsense claim yet the "Reefer Madness" lunatics say total BS lies like this with a straight face and conviction ! But do they really believe their own lies? Well it would seem that the cannabis induced insanity that the "Reefer Maness" lunatics suffer from causes them to believe their own lies, make them big whoppers and tell them often enough and they end up believing their own BS.

With support for legalization above 40% in NV and CO votes last year, evidence of marijuana components having a powerful effect against cancer would hopefully be the final nail in marijuana prohibition's coffin. No, it won't shut the marijuana haters up, but it will help people see them for the fanatical bigots that they are. Any reasonable person can see that alcohol is far more dangerous than marijuana.

"If marijuana proves capable of curing cancer, will these people finally shut up?"

I hope so, but I kind of doubt it. They'll just pick some new aspect of the human condition and argue that marijuana messes it up, ie. the skunk-schizophrenia debacle in the UK right now. I can't help but believe that that particular media circle jerk is an intential misinformation campaign, and that they tried real hard to come up with a boogey man and the schizophrenia thing was the best they could do, which is saying alot.

Marijuana protects the positive and deletes the negative?

This is nothing knew.
American scientists had that info in 1974 even though they continue to persuade people take their life threatening perscription drugs (of which some of my closest freinds are addicted).
If the government wants to stop kids from taking drugs that "open their mind" and make them "drop out" than they should stop pushing drugs on them and the American people that infact numb the mind and the senses.
Many children with ADHD are given large quantities of health threatening drugs that "get them to behave".
It should be no supprize that many of these kids (after years of having their senses numbed out) decide to then take the "other drugs" that increase their mind and sense activation-and or stimulation.
Once America becomes a nation of non-smoking teetottlers than it will have the moral authority to declare a "war on drugs", once it ceases promoting the philosophy of the "quik fix".
Mabey the youth would then be unattracted to drugs that give them freedom from society.
Untill then they can expect their children to eventually discover the drugs that "free their mind"; an act which is infact essencial when you have been dead on perscription drugs your whole life.
If the youth of India started taking LSD and smoking pot it would be quite a tradgety because Indian culter is so pure when it comes to REAL health.
But in America taking LSD and marijuana is essencial to climbing out of the deep pit in which the drug companies, FDA, have left it's citizens.
It is the way to gradually evolve out of the genetically damaging effects that American life will have on it's future generations.
The perfect detox from American drugs (or individuals who a strongly dependent on sense numbing drugs) is to take LSD and marijuana for two or three years (LSD no more than 10 times a year ofcourse)(marijuana no more than once a day) directly followed by a complete herbal detox regimine for five years, even still followed by a more or less vegetarian diet of organic fruits, vegetables, nuts, grains and multi-vitamins.
After 10 years of gradual mental, physical, and spiritual detoxification then, mabey, America will be able to defeat it's drug and health problem permenantly.
In life one must not go to extremes, and this is why I suggest first replaceing the over the counter sense numbing drugs with natrual and psycoactive-transedental ones, becuase you should not go from being a comfetably numb drug addict to a drug free individual in the wink of an eye, this could have strange effects on the evolution of the genetic family.
As for hard illegal drug addiction one must look into the psycoactive plant known as "ibogain" it substancially lowers withdraw symptoms from previous dope fiends, coke monsters, and cracks heads in 3 days!
Ovcourse this extreme treatment for such an extreme mental illness is totally illegal becuase it is not "manufactured" by the "drug companies".
Dosen't it just make you want to declare jihad against these devils?
I just finished reading a book by Kevin Trudeau entitled "Natrual cures "they" don't want you to know about".
In it he describes how the FDA pruposly looks to annihlate all natrual opposition to the "profits" by conducting smear campaings on all natrual cures for various health problems.
Whether it is a cure for cancer, aids, or addiction it seems that those who run these companies are trying to make people sicker in the long run by giving them a drug that works like a charm in the short run (and they have the nerve to critisize the hippies!)
Rather than stimulating creativity and cures for the ills of society the drug lobbyists prefer to have the working Americans on prozac as they sell them chemicaly dangerous food that makes them depressed, hungry, fat and in serch of a momentary rush.
If people thought more resonably instead of in terms of "the saved and the unsaved" mabey many of the social and culteral problems that are only fuel for the drug problem in America could be permantly won.
Living in truth is eventually the most rewarding, and since we will be dead when future generations inherit the earth it would only be wise to seek the solutions that will conqure fear, lies, and death for the the future instead of ALWAYS relying on the "quik fix" which is all marijuana and other psycoactive plants do for it's users anyway(giving them a moment of heaven in a hellish world of lies and cyclical death).
Only then will America get over it's drug problem.
Untill then "inhale, smile, and preceed to the next song" as Abbie Hoffman once said.

It's hard for me to believe that but I can't argue with scientists... I am quite impressed with these findings and I don't think making them public will bring any good. I mean these drugs should only be used for medical reasons. As far as cancer concerns me, I try to stay clean and have a healthy life, i think this is most important.

There will be and increase in the amount of research done to figure out everything marijuana is good for and to be totally honest not only can marijuana possibly cure cancer like the doc says but if it does maybe smoking it at an early age will make it so the cancer doesnt have a chance to reappear. But this is my own speculation. In real truth, marijuana can be used for plenty of other things such as making clothes... hemp is one of the most durable gear in the world. Marijuana plants can be used for the bio fuel if there is a rise in the use or damand (virgin airlines).
not gonna bother writing this in my own words.

Hemp Paper Can Save the Forests!
One acre of cannabis hemp, in annual rotation over a twenty year period would produce as much pulp for paper as 4.1 acres of trees being cut down over the same 20 year period. And while hemp reaches full growth and can be harvested every year, the trees which are cut down take hundreds of years to return. The process of making paper from hemp uses only 1/5 to 1/7 as much polluting, sulfur-based chemicals and does not require the use of any chlorine bleach.

Hemp as an Ecological, Renewable Fuel Resource
Hemp can also produce 10 times more methanol than corn, the second best living fuel source. Hemp as fuel is renewable whereas oil is not. Hemp as fuel is environmentally beneficial: it enriches and prevents erosion; it burns clean and sulfur-free, while oil's sulfur content causes acid rain. Hemp as fuel would yield a balanced Oxygen/CO2 cycle, while oil releases only CO2, thereby increasing global warming

What a business to start up if we could get some funding eh... i mean if hemp can be used for all these things whos to say there isnt more it can be used for. Solution to pollution? therefor leading to global warming (solution hemp) ?
That would be insane for some people to believe... for others maybe a bit of research and some good management skills haha. eh doc!

youtube has some quick videos of doctors explaining hemp can cure cancer.

I mean honestly if mj was so bad then why do people continue to smoke it and enjoy it? It was made from the earth with no additional chemicals. Its mother natures way of saying "Hi". It decreases aggresiveness, which I think our so-called-dumb-ass-oil-driven-president should probably consider smokin. Clinton admited he puffed a little, did'nt inhale-yea right, and when he was in office we had no wars, no worries. Sure he got his we-we played with, but so what. Would'nt you rather hear about the presidents little escapades than to go to the pump and pay 5 bucks a gallon? If the world leaders got together, and each had a little bit of some of the finest from his/her own country, smoked it and started talking. There would be no worries.I mean seriously, I like to smoke and I have some pretty damm good ideas when I'm feelin "the love". Its illegal to smoke a joint, but i bet all the politicians smoke all the weed they want to cause they jack it from us!
"I promise I'll smoke chronic until the day that i die!"
