Title: A US Government Agency Quietly Acknowledged That Marijuana May Help Fight Brain Tumors

Researchers have been studying the medical benefits of marijuana for years, but this month marks the first time the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), a research group funded by the US government, has acknowledged that cannabis extracts may help kill certain cancer cells and reduce the size of others.

NIDA quietly revised a page on its website titled, "DrugFacts: Is Marijuana Medicine?" this month to state that, "Evidence from one cell culture study suggests that purified extracts from whole-plant marijuana can slow the growth of cancer cells from one of the most serious types of brain tumors."

The update acknowledges research published last November in the journal Molecular Cancer Therapies by scientists from St. George's, University of London. The researchers found that THC, the main psychoactive ingredient in weed, and cannabidiol, an extract, caused "dramatic reductions" in the growth of glioma tumors in mice. Glioma accounts for 80 percent of malignant brain tumors in humans.

"We've shown that cannabinoids could play a role in treating one of the most aggressive cancers in adults," Dr. Wai Liu, lead author of the study, wrote in an op-ed for the Huffington Post last year. Previous studies have shown that THC may have anti-tumor benefits, but the wrong dose can potentially increase the size of tumors.

Marijuana's legal status and the stigma surrounding the plant have significantly hindered scientific research of its potential benefits. It is still considered a Schedule I controlled substance, alongside heroin, LSD, ecstasy, and other drugs the US government says have "no currently accepted medical use and a high potential for abuse."...

Not news to Dr. Christina Sanchez

Not news to the National Institutes of Health

Have any preclinical (laboratory or animal) studies been conducted using Cannabis or cannabinoids?

Preclinical studies of cannabinoids have investigated the following activities:

Antitumor activity

Studies in mice and rats have shown that cannabinoids may inhibit tumor growth by causing cell death, blocking cell growth, and blocking the development of blood vessels needed by tumors to grow. Laboratory and animal studies have shown that cannabinoids may be able to kill cancer cells while protecting normal cells.

A study in mice showed that cannabinoids may protect against inflammation of the colon and may have potential in reducing the risk of colon cancer, and possibly in its treatment.

A laboratory study of delta-9-THC in hepatocellular carcinoma (liver cancer) cells showed that it damaged or killed the cancer cells. The same study of delta-9-THC in mouse models of liver cancer showed that it had antitumor effects. Delta-9-THC has been shown to cause these effects by acting on molecules that may also be found in non-small cell lung cancer cells and breast cancer cells...

"A US Government Agency Quietly Acknowledged That Marijuana May Help Fight Brain Tumors"

Marijuana, huh? Yet in the very first line they say, "has acknowledged that cannabis extracts may help kill certain cancer cells".

That's like me saying a certain chemical compound found in gasoline may get rid of acne ... so drink gasoline.

"The researchers found that THC, the main psychoactive ingredient in weed, and cannabidiol, an extract, caused "dramatic reductions" in the growth of glioma tumors in mice."

From the report:

"... which showed dramatic reductions in tumor volumes when both cannabinoids were used with irradiation.

A US Government Agency Quietly Acknowledged That Marijuana May Help Fight Brain Tumors

Is this true….NIDA acknowledged this….where?

All I find is NIDA simply mentioned the results of a new study funded by a research grant awarded t0 W.M. Liu from GW Pharmaceuticals Ltd., Salisbury, United Kingdom.

I find nowhere that "NIDA endorsed the study or acknowledged that marijuana may help fight brain tumors."

Can anyone find where NIDA did this?

Potheads are so desperate to promote marijuana, they latch onto anything to make erroneous implications.

I of course stand to be corrected….simply show me the evidence.

FROM THE LINK: "For instance, recent animal studies have shown that marijuana extracts may help kill certain cancer cells and reduce the size of others. Evidence from one cell culture study suggests that purified extracts from whole-plant marijuana can slow the growth of cancer cells from one of the most serious types of brain tumors. Research in mice showed that treatment with purified extracts of THC and CBD, when used with radiation, increased the cancer-killing effects of the radiation" (Scott, 2014).

Look under "How might cannabinoids be useful as medicine?"

Potheads are so desperate to promote marijuana, they latch onto anything to make erroneous implications.

You're stuck in the '70s. Saying "try to keep up" would be a waste of time. We just wanted to be left alone. If you're not free to smoke a plant you don't live in a free country, do you.

THC KILLS CANCER CELLS. It's really that simple. The weed the government declared war on is not just medicine, but food (seeds), fiber (stalks) and fuel (oil from seeds). They lied. Period, end of story. You can't accept this so denial is all you have. And rude, intrusive, flashing graphics sometimes.

Arijeta Lajka said NIDA “acknowledged that marijuana may have help fight brain tumors.”

I am really not interested in what Arijeta Lajka “said” that NIDA “said.”

I am asking to be shown where NIDA factually “acknowledge that marijuana may have help fight brain tumors.”

Can you do that?

You're stuck in the '70s. Saying "try to keep up" would be a waste of time.
I may be stuck in the ‘70s. But, asking to be shown the truth is never a waste of time….is it?

This does NOT say that NIDA: “Acknowledged That Marijuana May Help Fight Brain Tumors.” Does it?

He's stuck in the 30's - thinkin that "Reefer Madness" is a fact-filled documentary.
