Cannabis / Marijuana News

 November 22, 2018 Admin


Christina Sanchez, a molecular biologist from Compultense University in Madrid, first reported in 1998 that TetraHydroCannabinol (THC), the primary psychoactive component of cannabis, induces tumor cell suicide while leaving healthy non-tumor cells alone.

She discovered that when exposed to THC, tumor cells not only ceased to multiply and proliferate but also destroyed themselves, both in lab tests and animal trials.

A Harvard study from 2007, which remains the most comprehensive ever released on THC’s potential to combat tumors, also found that in just three weeks, doses of THC were able to cut lung cancer tumor growth in half in mice subjects and were able to reduce cancer lesions by even more.

Chemical components of Cannabis, called cannabinoids, activate specific receptors found throughout the body to produce pharmacologic effects, particularly in the central nervous system and the immune system. Commercially available cannabinoids, dronabinol and nabilone, are FDA approved drugs for the treatment of cancer-related side effects.

When inhaled or consumed, cannabis cannabinoids are incorporated into the body’s natural endocannabinoid system that regulates a lot of biological functions such as appetite, food intake, motor behavior, and reproduction among others. Because of this, tumor cells are thrust into a state of apoptosis, meaning they self-destruct.

Sanchez explains:

CELLS CAN DIE IN DIFFERENT WAYS, AND AFTER CANNABINOID TREATMENT, THEY WERE DYING IN THE CLEAN WAY – THEY WERE COMMITTING SUICIDE. ONE OF THE ADVANTAGES OF CANNABINOIDS IS THAT THEY TARGET, SPECIFICALLY, THE TUMOR CELLS.

THEY DON’T HAVE ANY TOXIC EFFECT ON NORMAL, NON-TUMOR CELLS. AND THIS IS AN ADVANTAGE WITH RESPECT TO STANDARD CHEMOTHERAPY, WHICH TARGETS BASICALLY EVERYTHING. I CANNOT UNDERSTAND WHY IN THE US CANNABIS IS UNDER SCHEDULE I, BECAUSE IT IS PRETTY OBVIOUS, NOT ONLY FROM OUR WORK, BUT FROM THE WORK OF MANY OTHER RESEARCHERS, THAT THE PLANT HAS VERY WIDE THERAPEUTIC POTENTIAL.

The federal government recently admitted that cannabis is effective in shrinking certain types of cancer cells. The unexpected and groundbreaking declaration was made in a recent update to a National Institute on Drug Abuse information sheet on medical marijuana. The NIDA statement read: Recent animal studies have shown that marijuana can kill certain cancer cells and reduce the size of others.

Evidence from one animal study suggests that extracts from whole-plant marijuana can shrink one of the most serious types of brain tumors. Research in mice showed that these extracts, when used with radiation, increased the cancer-killing effects of the radiation.
 
Why Cannabinoids Appear to Cure so many Illnesses

Cannabis was America's number one analgesic for 60 years before the rediscovery of aspirin around 1900.

The reason why cannabinoids appear to "cure" so many illnesses is because prior to prohibition they were part of the human food chain. Dairy cows ate feral hemp, which was rich in CBD and passed the CBDs to humans through their milk.

Pigs, chickens and other livestock were also fed hemp and the CBDs were in their meat and eggs.

Beginning in 1937, the government eradicated all forms of feral and cultivated hemp, thus eliminating CBD from the human food chain. A chain in which it had been a much needed link since pre-historic times.

The rest of the story? Eighty years of human suffering, misery and untold millions of needless deaths all caused by prohibitionists who supported outlawing hemp for one reason and one reason only, they were told to by their government.

Historical Facts: Cannabis was America's number one analgesic for 60 years before the rediscovery of aspirin around 1900. From 1842 to 1900 cannabis made up half of all medicine sold with virtually no fear of it's high and no one was over dosing.

Endocannabinoids vs Phyto-Cannabinoids

Endocannabinoids are naturally occurring compounds found within the human body. They’ve been there for 600,000 years or more, but we’ve only just noticed it! One of the remarkable things about endocannabinoids is their striking similarity to the active ingredients of cannabis called phyto-cannabinoids. In fact, it was the effort by scientists to understand the exact mechanism by which cannabis works in the body that led to the discovery of the Endocannabinoid System little more than a decade ago.The science of endocannabinoid medicine has progressed to a dizzying degree in the past few years. There is wider awareness that the ‘endocannabinoid system’ is the largest neurotransmitter system in the human body, regulating relaxation, eating, sleeping, memory, and, as noted by the Italian scientist Vincenzo Di Marzo, even our immune system.

Cannabinoids promote homeostasis, the maintenance of a stable internal environment despite external fluctuations, at every level of biological life, from the sub-cellular, to the organism. For example, endocannabinoids are now understood as the source of the runner’s high. The endocannabinoids naturally found in human breast milk, which are vital for proper human development, have virtually identical effects as cannabinoids found in the cannabis plant. Amazingly, the mechanism at work after smoking or eating cannabis, when adults get the “munchies, is essentially the same as what causes breastfeeding babies to seek protein-rich milk.

Universally accepted following its discovery in 1995, the endocannabinoid system asserts it power to heal and balance the other systems of the body by turning on or off the expression of genes. Cannabinoids hold the key that unlocks receptor sites throughout the brain and immune system triggering potent healing and pain-killing effects.

The endocannabinoid anandamide, (Ananda = bliss in Sanskrit + amide = chemical type) a naturally neurotransmitting lipid compound made by all mammals, is basically a self-manufactured “natural THC” circulating within. Anandamide and THC act through the cannabinoid receptors and have similar effects on pain, appetite, and memory, etc.
There are two types of cannabinoid receptors in the body — the CB1 receptors found primarily in the brain and the central nervous system, and the CB2 receptors that are distributed but primarily found in the immune system. These receptors respond to cannabinoids, whether they be from breast milk, or from a cannabis plant.

Aside from the cannabinoids produced by the body and those found in cannabis, there are numerous substances that interact with the endocannabinoid system, such as cacao, black pepper, echinacea, tumeric and even carrots. But it is the Cannabis plant that produces the most powerful cannabinoids mimicing most closely those produced by the body. No downsides, no side-effects, no drug interaction issues, and so far, no giving up your hard earned funds to big pharma.

Make no mistake, I’m not referring to THC, of which Americans smoke more of per person than any other people on Earth, but rather the “other,” non-psychoactive cannabinoid called Cannabidiol (CBD), a prominent molecular component of the cannabis plant. While CBD does not bind to either the CB1 or CB2 cannabinoid receptors directly, it does stimulate endogenous cannabinoid activity by suppressing an enzyme that breaks down anandamide. CBD is also a counterbalance to the action of THC at the CB1 receptor, mitigating or muting the psychoactive effects of THC.


Weed enthusiasts would be wise to keep some CBD on hand for when things get… out of hand.
 
Huge cannabis medical breakthrough as it's revealed the drug could KILL superbugs and save 10million lives a year

•University of Queensland researchers may have found new use for cannabis
•Main nonpsychoactive component of drug can kill off bacteria in gonorrhoea
•Could lead to the first new class of antibiotics for resistant bacteria in 60 years
•Further trials of synthetic cannabidiol formulations of the drug now underwayA surprising drug could become the first antibiotic class in 60 years to kill off resistant bacteria in diseases such as gonorrhoea, meningitis and legionnaires.

Researchers at University of Queensland's Institute for Molecular Bioscience have discovered a new use for cannabis in their global fight to stop deadly superbugs.

Laboratory studies have shown synthetic cannabidiol, the main nonpsychoactive component of cannabis better known as CBD can kill bacteria in diseases such as gonorrhea, a sexually transmissible infection.

The research has been hailed as a potential world medical breakthrough, amid predictions drug-resistant infections could result in 10 million deaths worldwide a year by 2050 unless an alternate treatment is found.University of Queensland scientists have found synthetic cannabidiol, the main nonpsychoactive component of cannabis can kill off superbug bacteria (stock image)

The research, recently published in the Communications Biology journal is part of a collaboration between Queensland researchers and Botanix Pharmaceuticals, which lead to the first new class of antibiotics for resistant bacteria in 60 years.

'This is the first time CBD has been shown to kill some types of Gram-negative bacteria. These bacteria have an extra outer membrane, an additional line of defence that makes it harder for antibiotics to penetrate,' Institute for Molecular Bioscience director Dr Mark Blaskovich said in a statement.

Researchers also discovered cannabidiol is effective in killing off superbug MRSA found in golden staph bacteria.

It may also be used to treat infected diabetic ulcers and wounds.

'Cannabidiol showed a low tendency to cause resistance in bacteria even when we sped up potential development by increasing concentrations of the antibiotic during 'treatment,' Dr Blaskovich added.

'We think that cannabidiol kills bacteria by bursting their outer cell membranes, but we don't know yet exactly how it does that, and need to do further research.' Synthetic cannabidiol, better known as CBD kill bacteria in diseases such as gonorrhea, a sexually transmissible infection (pictured)

Further trials of CBD formulations are now underway.

'We think we can engineer a different version of CBD that will be able to have some systemic activity,' Dr Blaskovich told the Courier Mail.

'We want something that doesn't break down in the body as quickly as CBD does. There's definitely potential there that CBD could be a prototypical representative of a new class of antibiotics.'

Botanix president Vince Ippolito described the Queensland research as a major breakthrough.

'The published data clearly establishes the potential of synthetic cannabinoids as antimicrobials,' Mr Ippolito said.

'Our company is now primed to commercialise viable antimicrobial treatments which we hope will reach more patients in the near future. This is a major breakthrough that the world needs now.'

Further trials of synthetic cannabidiol fund in cannabis (pictured) are now underway and could become an approved antibiotic within 15 years

The pharmaceutical company will now progress a topical CBD formulation into clinical trials.

'Those Phase 2a clinical results are expected early this year and we hope that this will pave the way forward for treatments for gonorrhoea, meningitis and legionnaires disease,' Dr Blaskovich said.

'Now we have established that cannabidiol is effective against these Gram-negative bacteria, we are looking at its mode of action, improving its activity and finding other similar molecules to open up the way for a new class of antibiotics.'

Dr Blaskovich estimates it will be 10-15 years before it becomes an approved antibiotic if further trials are successful.

FDA Takes Only Months to Approve Pfizer Jab Yet Cannabis Remains Schedule 1 Despite Centuries of Data

 Posted on August 24, 2021Natural Health News

Link: https://www.naturalblaze.com/2021/0...ins-schedule-1-despite-centuries-of-data.html

By Matt Agorist

Since Dec. 11, 2020, the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine has been available under the Food and Drug Administration’s Emergency Use Authorization in individuals 16 years of age and older, and the authorization was expanded to include those 12 through 15 years of age on May 10, 2021. On August 23, 2021, it was granted full approval by the FDA.

The Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine now becomes the fastest created, deployed and subsequently approved vaccination in history. Previously, the fastest vaccine to go from development to deployment was the mumps vaccine in the 1960s, which took about four years.

The swift approval of the vaccine illustrates just how fast the government can react if it wants to do so. On the contrary, however, there have been hundreds if not thousands of studies on the benefits of cannabis to safely treat multiple ailments and diseases, spanning the course of centuries, yet the FDA has failed to approve its use for anything.

To be clear, the FDA has approved patentable pharmaceutical synthetic compounds such as dronabinol. The pharmaceutical patented drugs Marinol and Syndros both use dronabinol which is nothing more than a chemical synthetic equivalent to delta-9- tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) — but the plant-based version you can grow in your own home remains off the list.

Harvard and other Ivy league research has shown the ability of cannabis to treat chronic pain faced by millions of Americans from conditions like multiple sclerosis, and nerve pain in general. Yet the FDA remains mum. They did however, approve opioids for the treatment of pain and judging from the nearly 100,000 people who’ve died in the last year alone from overdoses, we’ve seen how that turned out.

While the government offers lottery tickets, beer, and money for people to take the jab, in many states across the country, those same governments will kidnap, cage, or even kill you if you possess cannabis.

Nothing highlights the hypocrisy, immorality, and sheer idiocy of the drug war quite like marijuana prohibition. Here we have a medicine that kills cancer cells, saves the lives of countless epileptic children, heals broken bones, relieves pain, treats PTSD, is not dangerous, and exhibits a variety of other incredible benefits – yet the state will kill you over it.

The hypocrisy of cannabis remaining a Schedule 1 drug while the FDA grants approval to drugs like Solvay Pharmaceuticals’ Marinol cannot be understated. Both Marinol and Syndros contain an exact chemical copy of the THC molecule and produce the same effect as cannabis; however, you cannot grow Marinol or Syndros in your backyard, therefore it is illegal.

You cannot make obscene profits from the patent of a plant, because luckily, the state has not granted their mega-corporations the ability to patent nature, yet. The contradiction here is that you can make nature illegal, and then recreate nature in a lab using chemicals, put that illegal part of nature, available for the profit of a single monopoly, into a pill and make millions. All the while, the folks who uphold this system of monopolistic domination over what we can and can’t put into our bodies, are the same ones mandating everyone take their jab.

If we are to believe that the FDA, with a dark history of corruption, which has acted as a revolving door for lobbyists and industry insiders, truly has our best interests in mind, why then, have they not approved a plant that has never killed anyone in thousands of years of history?

Why has the FDA approved and regulated cigarettes, alcohol, opioids, and a slew of other drugs which have killed millions of people — yet cannabis is only approved for production by those who hold a monopoly on the synthetic version?

According to the FDA, their reasoning behind the refusal to approve cannabis products is to protect us. Seriously.

Selling unapproved (cannabis) products with unsubstantiated therapeutic claims is not only a violation of the law, but also can put patients at risk, as these products have not been proven to be safe or effective.

When reviewing the FDA’s track record on drug approvals, it becomes outright laughable that they expect us to believe that cannabis is not approved — to keep us safe. We aren’t talking about a few drugs slipping through every now and again either.

According to researchers at the Yale School of Medicine, one third of all drugs approved by the FDA had “major safety issues.” According to the data, 71 of the 222 drugs approved from 2001 to 2010 were withdrawn, required a “black box” warning on side effects or warranted a safety announcement about new risks.

It took roughly 4 years after each of these drugs’ approvals for the safety concerns to come to light, according to the study — with the majority of issues among psychiatric drugs, biologic drugs, and drugs that were granted “accelerated approval.”

So long as we rely on a corrupt group of unelected bureaucrats to make decisions about our health, this is the paradigm in which we will live. Essentially, the FDA acts as a gatekeeper of monopolies. If you have the resources to navigate their web or regulatory madness, your drug will be approved and your competition stifled — actual safety be damned. Remember that every single dangerous drug recalled by the FDA, was once approved by the FDA.

This is all done under the guise of platitudes like “safety” and “consumer protection” but in reality shields unethical companies from liability while granting them a competition-less environment in which to thrive at the expense of beneficial competition. It is time we rely on someone other than lobbyists and special interests to decide what’s best for us.

As Ron Paul says, “The fact that more people die from FDA-approved drugs than illegal drugs should be enough of a reason to send the FDA into the dustbin of history.”

We agree.
