More Evidence That Marijuana Prevents Cancer

By Bruce Mirken, Marijuana Policy Project. Posted August 21, 2009.

New study finds that marijuana smokers have a lower risk of head and neck cancers.

Among the more interesting pieces of news that came out while I was on vacation the first half of August was a new study in the journal Cancer Prevention Research, which found that marijuana smokers have a lower risk of head and neck cancers than people who don’t smoke marijuana. Alas, this important research has been largely ignored by the news media.

While this type of study cannot conclusively prove cause and effect, the combination of this new study and existing research — which for decades has shown that cannabinoids are fairly potent anticancer drugs — raises a significant possibility that marijuana use is in fact protective against certain types of cancer.

Hell yea, I really hope so.

Though I fear the pharmaceutical industries will create a market for synthetic medical THC and other cannabinoids, using researches like this; while the plant itself remains illegal "because it contains other molecules which might harm" ...

I hope I'm being to pessimistic.

I think its otherwise absurd to ban plants, its just wrong.
