Cannabis Oil Cures Cancer, Government Hides for Big Pharma: Fact Check

Story: 

A 60 gram supply of Cannabis Oil.
Is recommended for those suffering from serious disease such as Cancer. Each tube is 10 grams, so pictured here is enough to treat one cancer patient (with an extra syringe for good measure). And only $600-$1,200 TOTAL (based on retail price of $20/gram in CA and OR).

The health care industry would charge you that much for your first night in the hospital. Cure your cancer or lose your home and pay for Chemotherapy.

The US Government has known since 1974 that Cannabis cures Cancer. In ’72 Richard Nixon wanted a larger budget for his war on drugs. He thought that if he proved Cannabis caused lung cancer like cigarettes do, he would get the support he needed. He gave the Medical College of Virginia 2 years to do a study on the effects of THC on the body. In ’74 the study was completed. It turns out, THC when ingested in highly concentrated forms (such as eating Cannabis oil) will attack any mutated cells in your body while strengthening and rejuvenating the healthy cells. They found the PERFECT cure for Cancer.

Worked with zero side effects

It worked fast, it worked well, it worked on many different forms of Cancer in ALL stages and it had ZERO harmful side effects. (Unlike Chemo which deteriorates your entire body and kills 1 in 5 patients. Not only that, but it dissolves ALL forms of tumors and can even combat super-bugs like MRSA.) When Richard Nixon saw the results of the study he was FURIOUS. He threw the entire report in the trash and deemed the study classified. In 1976 President Gerald Ford put an end to all public cannabis research and granted exclusive research rights to major pharmaceutical companies, who set out — unsuccessfully — to develop synthetic forms of THC that would deliver all the medical benefits without the “high.”

We only found out about the study a few years ago thanks to dedicated medical and law professionals who filed Freedom of Information Requests. The Govt lied for many reasons.. One of the main reasons is Pharmaceutical Companies. They spend billions every year lobbying to keep Cannabis illegal because they make TRILLIONS off Cancer drugs and research. They are already well aware that Cannabis cures Cancer. The companies have a great con going at the moment. Cancer patients and loved ones will spend entire life savings or even sell houses and businesses in order to pay for Chemotherapy and other Cancer treatment drugs.

A lot of the time they spend all that money and their loved one dies anyway. If the public found out that the Government has been lying for over 40 years, that MILLIONS of lives could have been saved and that the dying could grow the cure they need in their backyard… The Public would be going APE-SHIT.

Fact Check:

The health message claims 60 gram supply of simple Cannabis Oil is enough to cure serious diseases like Cancer, suggesting it as an easy home cure instead of paying lot of money for Chemotherapy. The message also comes with the claim that in 1972 the U.S. government under Richard Nixon undertook a two year study on the effects of concentrated Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC, like from Cannabis oil) on the body and found that it attacked mutated cells while strengthening and rejuvenating the healthy cells. Allegedly, the ‘perfect’ cure for many forms of cancers has zero side effects.

Upon learning this, the message alleges that Richard Nixon became furious and threw the entire report in trash, deeming the study as classified. Furthermore, in 1976, it is said that President Gerald Ford put an end to all public cannabis research and granted exclusive research rights to major pharmaceutical companies. Let us analyze if these claims are really facts.

The claims of cure for cancer using simple Cannabis oil originated from various related articles in website TheMindUnleashed.com. The website has brought together various aspects and studies to come to the conclusion that cannabis cures cancer, the Government knows it, but has been hiding it from public for the interest of big pharma drugs. We will analyze the important points the website has raised.

1972 Study under Richard Nixon

The National Commission on Marihuana and Drug Abuse was created by the Controlled Substances Act (signed into law by President Richard Nixon) to study marijuana (Cannabis drug) abuse in the United States.

On March 22, 1972, the chairman of the Commission, Raymond P. Shafer, presented a report entitled “Marihuana, A Signal of Misunderstanding“. It favored the ending of marijuana prohibition and adopting other methods to discourage use. The study concluded saying, “Looking only at the effects on the individual, there, is little proven danger of physical or psychological harm from the experimental or intermittent use of the natural preparations of cannabis“. It also found “the use of drugs for pleasure or other non-medical purposes is not inherently irresponsible; alcohol is widely used as an acceptable part of social activities“.

Conclusions from the Commission

The conclusions from the Shafer commission met resistance and the Nixon administration did not implement its recommendations. In fact, Nixon attempted to influence the outcome of the study. He believed marijuana is much worse than alcohol. It is because people drink “to have fun” but they smoke marijuana “to get high.”

As a part of the study, in an uncontrolled preliminary experiment (Personal Communication, 1970), marihuana extract (mean daily dose 19.8 mg THC) was administered daily to eight terminal cancer patients from four to 13 days. While euphoria was experienced by all eight subjects, three subjects indicated an analgesic-effect of the drug. All became more active on the ward. However, there were no no new changes in physiological parameters, neurological status, blood cell and chemistry values or urine examination.

As reported by AlterNet.org, Jack Herer, an American cannabis activist reported in his book “The Emperor Wears No Clothes” that in 1976, President Gerald Ford put an end to all public cannabis research and granted exclusive research rights to major pharmaceutical companies.
