Compound in Marijuana May Halt Spread of Cancers

The New Jersey Legislature has passed a medical marijuana bill, which Governor John Corzine says he intends to sign, according to the New York Times. 

In these Youtube videos, we hear of the potential effects cannabinoids, found in marijuana, on the treatment of aggressive breast cancer, and various tumors in lab rats. 

 

In the following video, we particularly agree with the speaker's advice to get extra essential fatty acids (hemp oil is fine, but so is flaxseed oil, fish oil, and many others), and are open to the concept that certain persons with cancer, cancer risk, or age related disease may benefit from medical use of marijuana.   We emphatically do not agree with the concept that marijuana should be used "cradle to grave," delivered to newborns through mother's milk.  Marijuana use in adolescents and young adults, especially in males, is associated with development of psychosis.
