United States News Title: US Government Admits Marijuana Kills Cancer Cells, But they Still Kidnap, Cage, and Kill You For It The institute has revised a page on its website entitled DrugFacts: Is Marijuana Medicine? citing a recent study conducted by a group of scientists at St. Georges University, London. The benefits of the cannabis plant elements were known before but the drastic reduction of brain cancers if used with irradiation is something new and may well prove promising for patients who are in gravely serious situations with such cancers in the future, Dr Wai Liu, Senior Research Fellow and lead researcher on the project, said. Twenty-three US states have so far legalized marijuana in some capacity, while an additional 12 have legalized limited medical use of non-psychoactive cannabis extracts. Four states and the District of Columbia have legalized recreational marijuana. The federal government still bans marijuana use, however. In December when Congress passed a historic medical marijuana amendment as part of the federal spending bill, the move marked the first time in history that Congress approved legislation rolling back the federal governments war on medical marijuana patients and providers. The bill features an amendment that prohibits the Department of Justice (which includes the Drug Enforcement Administration) from using funds to interfere with state medical marijuana laws. Earlier this week the Justice Department (DOJ) released a statement that while it will not stop states that allow medical marijuana from carrying out their programs, it will still go after marijuana users, however. Policy manager at the Drug Policy Alliance, Malik Burnett, told VICE News that NIDAs recent admission about the efficacy of medical marijuana, coupled with the US Department of Justices vow to continue cracking down on the drug, is akin to a major hypocrisy by the government. We have the Justice Department continuing to threaten patients with arrest and prosecution in spite of the fact that Congress has voted to prevent the Justice Department from interfering with states that have passed medical marijuana laws, Burnett said.

Judging by the behavior of people who use it recreationally to any extent, it also kills brain cells.
