What if Cannabis Cured Cancer?Could the chemicals found in marijuana prevent and even heal several deadly cancers? Discover the truth about this ancient medicine as world-renowned scientists in the field of cannabinoid research illustrate their truly mind-blowing discoveries.

What if Cannabis Cured Cancer explains how we are all born with a form of marijuana already in our bodies, and when pot is consumed, the endocannabinoids inside us, along with any cannabinoids we ingest, fit together like a key in a lock.

Thereby promoting the death of cancer cells without harming the body's healthy cells. A powerful and eye-opening film about the future of cannabis, and perhaps even the future of medicine.

What If Cannabis Cured Cancer summarizes the remarkable research findings of recent years about the cancer-protective effects of novel compounds in marijuana and brings to light a host of recent findings that have potentially game-changing implications for the future of marijuana as a medicine. Narrated by Emmy-winning actor Peter Coyote.

Well theres a reason why cannabis is illegal.
Big pharma cant profit off of nature.

You're only allowed to take big pharma drugs.

Anything else will land you in prison.

The more expert—or at least the more educated—a person is, the less likely that person is to see a solution when it is not within the framework in which he or she was taught to think. When a possibility comes up that is ruled out by the accepted framework, an expert—or well-educated individual—is often less likely to see it than an amateur without the confining framework. For example, one naturally prefers to consult a trained doctor than an untrained person about matters of health. But if a new cure happens to be developed that is at variance with accepted concepts, the medical profession is often the last to accept it. This problem has always existed in all professions, but it tends to be accentuated under modern conditions

It is interesting how many establishment doctors start out, in many cases to disprove the efficacy of alternative therapies and become advocates of alternative therapies. I don't hear many stories of the other way round.

No evidence in least to support that statement .... cannabis, even smoked is not a carcinogenic.

Hemp oil, not made from the seed (which is easily available) but that which is made from high grade Indica, is what is used in Rick Simpson's hemp oil that has shown results, as far as recovery from, nor destruction of cancer cells. Google it. Learn

Its the Hashish oil that cures Cancer,and eating raw seeds. Its been done in for many years here in China, but the westerners are using this pratice as a loophole to abuse it for a recreation as they do with any drugs...
The USA is known as the modern world of medical science came close to finding the cure for cancer, but due to the "pot movement" there the US government shut down the "Madrid study". In 1976 President Gerald Ford put an end to all public cannabis research in medical science. Most Americans don’t know anything about the Madrid discovery. Virtually no U.S. newspapers carried the story, which ran only once on the AP and UPI news wires, on Feb.29th.
THERE IS AND ALWAYS HAS BEEN A CURE FOR CANCER,BUT THE ABUSE AMERICANS MAKE AS A LOOPHOLE SHUT DOWN THE STUDY.
Point being, if you have cancer and want cured,come to China countryside and find a Chinese Medicine Man, youll be cured in 3 months, I know because Im one of the survivors.

I'm right on that conservative Republican edge of perhaps tollerating Mary Jane if she wasn't still illeagal. I think I voted for it to be used medicinally in Oregon (or at least I supported that). If no one was looking, I might try a cookie (in the Netherlands of course).

Nature has provided for us from the beginning. We know now that human breast milk boosts the immune system of anyone, any age, so that body can heal cancer. Pretty amazing. Every family needs to have a least one lactating woman at all times and a shot of breast milk a day for everyone is best nature has. Humans need to be breastfed at least 3 years and up to five is what researchers are saying. Add some marijuana the most medicinal plant on the universe and people could live to be healthy and vibrant at 100+

Cannabis causes cancer. The case of Bob Marley, for example, is agravatted for use of Marijuana. The hormones TSH, Thestosterone, etc, have damm in cannabis use.

Not every medicine is everyone's medicine and mixing medicines with other drugs (alcohol/tobacco, pharmaceuticals, etc.) does not lend itself to a cure of anything.

Director of "What if Cannabis Cured Cancer" here. Just a few points: Firstly, how could Bob Marley, a well-known pothead die of cancer? Smoking cannabis with tobacco can still cause cancer. Smoking cannabis while also undergoing chemotherapy and radiation, may well cancel out its health benefits - since these medical treatments all but destroy one’s immune system. Where there is success with cannabis as a treatment for cancer, there are massive doses of cannabinoids ingested daily and even injected directly into tumors. When you have something as serious as cancer you need a serious amount of herbal medicine – not a spliff now and then
Smoking cannabis or hash, without tobacco, in a pipe (so you don’t inhale the paper), may indeed have some small preventative benefits according to Dr. Taskin’s UCLA study (quoted in my film, “What if Cannabis Cured Cancer”). He found that people who smoked cannabis had less cancer than people who smoked nothing at all.
The researchers are coming to believe that for cancer treatment, cannabis/hash oil is the way to go. It’s not just the high level of THC in the oil but the many other cannabinoids as well. I try to outline this in my film. I don’t have cancer, but as a preventative, I am ingesting cannabis oil at least a couple times a week.
Solid proof is hard to come by when precious few are willing to fund the research and Governments actively discourage scientists from the getting the cannabis they need to work with. With the grave harm that pharmaceutical drugs do and the gentleness of this fragrant herb – I believe all nations should demand further cannabis/cancer research from their governments. Almost every older relative I have got cancer. It runs in my family. They all went for chemo and radiation and they’re all dead. I am 67, a pot lover all my life, and in perfect health. I’ll place my bets on nature - not a commercial medical system that puts profits first. Since making this film, I have received emails from all over the world from patients who believe cannabis saved their lives and say they are now cancer free. I believe them!
I am proud that “What if Cannabis Cured Cancer” is filled with hard science (and some soft).
I made another film, "Everything Bad is Good" in which I interviewed people who had been given death sentences for cancer and who all survived using diet and herbs (but not cannabis). Specially, they all became vegan, some stuck to raw food diets, alkalized water, anti-cancer herbs such as mistletoe, and Asian mushrooms like Mataki. Some also used Essiac tea. This is not my formula but theres, and they were the one's in the trenches.
What I'm saying is that if you have cancer, and you decide to go the natural route, you probably should hit it with everything nature has to offer, not just marijuana. That's what I'd do. Although cannabis is clearly in a class by itself when it comes to attacking and killing cancer cells, you got the cancer for a reason - and so a complete lifestyle change, in which you detox, de-stress, and build up your immune system is the smart thing to do.

I think pot should never be smoked. Pot should only be cooked, much better effect, no potential lung damage. Pot if dried turns very much into what we see as white cooking flour ( green of course for pot) Pot becomes very very fine if dried, and say put into a coffee bean grinder. Simmer it with butter or olive oil (1-2 tablespoons of powdered pot), then put into any food, 30 minutes later your in TIbet. Smoking pot is the abuse/waste of pot...eat it, but of course much more expensive to buy a lot and dry it to powder form. If it were legal it should cost as much as a head of lettuce or something, the process of say making a jelly bean is much more complex than growing pot, how much do jelly beans cost.....

I love that many of the side effects from modern Pharma products are worse than the conditions that they were prescribed to cure, and people can still quibble over whether a medicinal plant with over 5000 years of recorded use, is too harmful to consider testing again.

Current fear and loathing of Pot was resurrected in the 1940's, by the same proponent of prohibition. Doesn't that make anyone a little suspicious?

Everyone commenting here, especially the Canadians should Google a guy called Rick Simpson. And watch a video called 'Run from The Cure.' Part of the doc. describes a "landmark" Supreme Court case, that of us in Canada should have heard about. However, until I saw this particular vid, I had never heard of it.

This ties in with the use of pesticides that appear to target a plants own ante cancer cells, and if they are left alone go on to increase our own resistance to cancer when we consume organic veg and fruit.

Cancer was almost unheard of before they started spraying pesticides, and at the same time the pharmaceuticals industry outlawed cannabis, and found or created the cash cow cancer.

legalise it!!! who do the government think they are trying to poison us with there drugs and not give us a choice on our health and medicine this is the most rediculous law there is. with all the studies and benefits into its properties such the best quality paper, clothing medicine they even made a car back in the 70 's that was 10 times stronger than the than the steal they were using you couldnt dint this thing with hammer. the fact the pharmasutical companys wont make much money on marijuana and lose billions is a major factor into why it is illegal we need to take a stand and stop allowing our government to push us around and take our rights before there is chaos.......

Damn..leave it to the Western world and modern man to ban something that will save his ass (marijuana)...and fund/make something that is killing him(pharmaceutical drugs, chemo, etc)

You do know that chemo does kill cancer cells....and also kills the GOOD CELLS that actually kill cancer..lol. With a WHOPPING 3% average success rate among all cancers..both serious and mild. What a JOKE!

All I can do at this point is laugh. Humans today are sooo retarded it's depressing. They think they know ALL, can control ALL, etc. We are giving 56% of kids in foster care MIND ALTERING DRUGS (physotropic drugs)
Cases INCLUDE kids as young as 3yo!
You know...that 3yo was throwing a temper tantrum...MEDICATE
You know...that 12yo can't seem to concentrate in class...MEDICATE
You know...that working 75hrs a week MAY stress you out?...MEDICATE

3yo's will throw temper tantrums (that's how WE LEARN as children)
12yo's have trouble in class (puberty, peer pressure, girls/boys etc etc)
AND working like a modern day slave WILL stress you out!!
No need for pills, drinks, shakes. There are NO quick fixes, get rich schemes, fountain of youth and so on. GET OVER IT. IT DOESN'T EXIST!

Lets get real here...everything....here on this Earth...that IS NOT man-made... is here for a reason. It doesn't need to be altered, changed from a gas to a liquid, diced into separate components, yada yada. It is fine in it's natural state! Same goes with marijuana. I can see it now..drug companies will dice it into 400 dif items...specific to some sort of cancer, nausea, or whatever...and then they'll go..."shet, it didn't work as we thought"
Just leave it the hell alone!

Mother nature is FAAAAR smarter than man WILL EVER be.
The SOONER man realise this, the better off he will be.
Man needs to work WITH nature, NOT against it.
All the tools were already here for long life and good health.
Unfortunately, man invented money....it's been downhill ever since

i had a friend who was diagnosed with a malignant brain tumor and was given six months to live..he took up smoking pot and survived a further fifteen years..near the end he had been unable to purchase the drug and his speech was almost incomprehensible...he came to see me and i smoked a joint with him..within ten minutes he was speaking normally for the first time in months .Unfortunately he lost the battle but was convinced to the end that cannabis gave him those extra fifteen years in which he watched his children grow. Drug companies are about profit..the curing of people is a mere side effect...

Wow I never knew about smoking joints and not getting lung cancer. So damaged/burned lungs can never turn to cancer if its caused by marijuana? Its safe to say at least 6 of my friends and I all have a bit of lung damage from smoking weed. We get tired quicker, diminished capacity to hold air (breathing only short breaths), get sore lungs every now and then, etc. News like this makes me want to keep smoking joints/bongs forever but my lungs have been killing me lately. I feel better its not cancer related but theres gotta be some kind of damage going on in there heh

guess i'll have to keep vaping....(i don't mind it but i find vaping a weaker buzz than smoking)

My mother is a pothead, and, from personal experience dealing with her when she's "high", it's not a "good thing". Some are better are controlling themselves than others, but I don't promote its casual use.

If it can be used medically, I understand that... but like any "medicine", it should not be abused.

And don't say, "What? Is liquor better?" That's a logical idiocy, like my complaining about children being beaten, and someone else saying it's not a big deal because rape is worse.

I'm afraid that some people who are over enthusiastic about cannabis will watch these documentaries and think they can actually cure their own cancer by ONLY ingesting cannabis, which of course no one suggested.
This is the part of the pro-cannabis movement that disturbs me the most, the "hallelujah-factor" or what to call it, thinking it solves all sorts of problems.
Some people will watch a documentary like this, and not listen to what is being said, but jump to the conclusion that "Cannabis cures cancer!" which not what they said. It's also impossible as cancer is not ONE illness, there are a lot of types of cancer and there is never going to be one solution for all types of cancer.
This type of thinking that cannabis will solve all your problems is part of what scares reasonable people away from wanting legalization. Now most people who smoke cannabis are not people who think like this, but those few that do, are very loud.
It's sad when there is real progress happening.
Pot is great and can be used for a lot of purposes, but the world doesn't circle around pot. A life centered on pot is an empty one.

4 weeks ago i noticed a lump on my boxer dog, on his right shoulder. i took him to the vets and he suggested a biopsy as he thought it could be cancerous. 8 days later the vet phoned me confirming my dog (benson) had a cancer tumor explaining it was to advanced to operate. i asked how long he had left his reply was a few weeks. i was devastated benson is nearly 10 other than the tumor he has a strong heart and fit and healthy. after 5 days the tumor on his shoulder had grown in size and he now had another one on his throat. he wasnt eating and couldnt move off his bed he was at deaths door. over the next few days while searching on the internet i came across rick simpsons run from the cure. after watching this i aquired what i needed to make the oil. after 5 days of giving benson the oil the tumor on his throat had completly gone, the larger one on his shoulder was reducing in size, his appetite was better than ever. its now 13 days since starting the oil i have my best friend back. walking him and watching him run on the field. playing with his bone, his eyes are so bright, his hair shiney, and the tumor on his shoulder is a 3rd of the size. the oil really works..

I know i may sound very informed about pot, because i am, i have lived near it all my adult life. I started smoking pot when i was 16 and smoked regularly until i was 27, i quit overnight very easily because i wanted to. Then i smoked my next joint in my late 40. SInce then i can smoke for a while and quit for months and then smoke again...my last puff was in September...i must admit this video makes me feel like feeling that high again. I am a painter/photographer and i find that getting high brings a certain inspiration that is very spiritual for me.
I am not addicted to pot anymore than to my two cups of coffee in the morning or my bar of black chocolat evey now and then...i just like those things for how they make me feel!

There are very different grades of pot....throw a few seeds in the wind and let them grow in the open sun unsupervised and you'll get pot with many many seeds of a mediocre quality. Baby a few clones with organic fertilizer outdoor under a tarp while controlling the amount of exposure to light or under grow lights indoor and you will get sinsemillia that will knock your socks off! Is one recreational and the other medical?...no, they are both medicinal if you believe the medicinal properties proven and recreational if you just enjoy the fun of a high although one is much more potent.

Why is it wrong to use cannabis for helping me fall asleep and stay asleep, to help with the pain of bad knees, to help me eat a bit more, to erase the depression that i tend to suffer from, to the curing of severe headaches I had as a younger person? Also, it has made me more open minded to other ideas .I also helps me to be more extroverted instead of the usual introvert personality( I'll be more talkative than normal). Isn't medicine supposed to make you feel better so you can do your day to day activitites. Another thing there is 0 deaths contributed to cannabis i repeat zero, nada , none. What other compound , substance, can even say that. If you can think of any let us know.
Also on the issue of hemp check out the book "The emperor wears no clothes" on Jack Herer"s website and on you tube "The emperor of Hemp" documentary.

Marijuana isn't addictive but I agree with you that one doesn't need it to calm down because its not addictive. What I'm saying is psychiatry is a bunch of non-sense and the mental "illness" they like prescribe all their legal crack on children with is hogwash. They add a new disease every month or so and about every six months they come out with a commercial to sue those evil pharmaceutical companies for sterilizing their sex organs or causing mass suicide. Even if you disagree that it can calm down ADD in adults (which it does) or help slow the growth in tumors (which it can) cannabis has ZERO negative effects other than potential incarceration for a VICTIMLESS crime. The REAL REASON they keep it illegal is both racist and corrupted by the BILLIONS of taxpayer dollars we WASTE on this pointless drug war. The original reason they outlawed it is because a RACIST pig named Harry Anslinger (who was paid for by paper companies & inspired by his HATRED of blacks & Latinos) claimed it was causing 'Negroes' to rape and kill 'innocent' white women.
