It's dangers have been exaggerated, but there are dangers as with 
alcohol, tobacco, and other things.  My wife's first husband was 
(psychologically) addicted to smoking marijuana and lost all ambition.

I looked at that paper.  It was statistically bogus.



Nobody has ever found that paper easily. One guy found one of the  
author and got a manuscript draft, then later, someone found an  
old print of it, but I think it is a hell of difficulty to find  
the paper.


I guess you talk about something else. That paper was written by  
people paid by the US Government to prove that cannabis causes  
cancer, but they found the opposite: it cures cancer (at least on  
mice for a collection of cerebral tumor). You may look at:


http://www.mapinc.org/newstcl/v01/n572/a11.html


You should look at the original paper, not breathless second-hand  
reports.


http://sci-hub.ac/10.1038/nrc1188


I can't access this. I see also russian text asking I register, I  
guess. Could you send me a copy please, perhaps?









Anyway, that precise discovery,


It was anything but "precise".

and its extension on humans cells has been done again 20 years  
later by a spanish Team, and belongs to the "mainstream":


http://www.jci.org/articles/view/37948


It refers to cannabis inhibiting autophagy which may lead to cell  
death, but not necessarily.


Some cannabinoids induce autophagy of the cancerous cells (in vitro).









That is not bogus, and has been verified, and followed by many  
papers showing that cannabis is indeed an excellent medication  
for many diseases---you can look at:


http://www.collective-evolution.com/2013/08/23/20-medical-studies-that-prove-cannabis-can-cure-cancer/


Δ9-Tetrahydrocannabinol inhibited tumour-cell proliferation in  
vitro


Yes. But then you have the testimony. And the point I refer  
initially are the lies. Even if cannabis cannot been used for human  
cancer, the hiding of the discovery described above, and the  
stopping of the research on something promising,


Where is the evidence that the discovery is hidden (it's published)  
and that further research was stopped for some nefarious reason?


Published? Can you give me the exact references. And some working  
link?, Or a copy? I am still not sure we talk about the same paper.


The evidence comes from the fact that nobody knew it until it was  
rediscovered 20 years later. But even the new evidences have not made  
the headline in the news, and also, cannabis is still schedule one.


Even if cannabis did not have any medical use, the papers showing its  
danger have all been shown to be gross frauds, all the times.







even if only promising, is the bad attitude I deplore. We are not  
here to debate on cannabis.





I did verify some of those papers (some are bogus indeed, but  
many are not).



As I said, the team of Mechoulam, in Jerusalem, have understood  
the basic general mechanism, by discovering the anandamide, which  
is the name they gave to the agonist of THC, and by unraveling  
the endo-cannabinoid system in all enough high animals (which  
means all, except for some primitive sea non-vertebrates). Google  
on endo-cannabinoid system.


Also, it is a false secret that the reason to forbid cannabis was  
brought by a set-up. There has never been any reason to make  
cannabis illegal. There are many good videos and books on the  
subject. I will not develop this here. I can give references,  
including to the thousand of papers which add evidence that  
cannabis can cure many disease and cancers. Of course such  
research are not permitted in the land of the free, and it is not  
yet that simple in Europa too.


There are plenty of pharmacological research labs outside the  
U.S.   Are you claiming there's a worldwide conspiracy to prevent  
curing cancer?


Cannabis has been made illegal world-wide, rather rapidly. Only the  
Russians took a bit more time. yes, I find plausible there has been  
a worldwide multi-corporatist conspiracy to hide the medical and  
industrial virtue of Hemp to sell as much Petrol as possible.


I find it hilariously implausible.  Corn->ethanol barely breaks even  
on the energy-return-on-investment.  Hemp would require even more  
extraction processing.


But as Henri Ford already seem to have said: it is renewable, and does  
not pollute.

That hypothesis explains a lot of things, notably that despite the  
success of the cannabis medical, and the continuing lack of  
evidences of problem with hemp, cannabis is still in schedule one.  
Even under Obama, the schedule one of cannabis has been renewed,  
despite many hope for putting it at least in schedule 2. But no:
