    Cannabis: A Panacea?

    “Changes in endocannabinoid levels and/or CB2 receptor expressions have been reported in almost all diseases affecting humans, ranging from cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, liver, kidney, neurodegenerative, psychiatric, bone, skin, autoimmune, lung disorders to pain and cancer, and modulating CB2 receptor activity holds tremendous therapeutic potential in these pathologies.”

      Of course it is not a panacea, but I personally do not believe it is the ultimate single cure for all ailments listed in the quote.

      that cannibinoids exist in those physical systems doesnt mean cannabis can cure diseases in them. its a very useful medical drug with dountless untapped poitential but no, its not a panacea.

      We simply don’t know because research into the benefits of cannabis has been deliberately stifled for the last 50 years.  Hopefully we will find out soon.

      A couple of “hits” on a clean water pipe certainly does more for a common cold than any of the toxic crap the general public would recommend; Whiskey/Brandy/Guinness, Lemsip and Paracetamol! It also aids sleep – which definitely helps the common cold too.

      it could do the lot but still weird folk who love being conned ,will find a reason not to marvel at it.
