What I was really hoping to find was the Scientific American article that talked about THC and it's effects on neurogenesis, in relation to fighting Alzheimer's disease.

But this is all I could come up with to share for now.

Active Component In Marijuana Targets Aggressive Brain Cancer Cells, Study Says

Quote:

April 1, 2009 -- The active chemical in marijuana promotes the death of brain cancer cells by essentially helping them feed upon themselves, researchers in Spain report.

Guillermo Velasco and colleagues at Complutense University in Spain have found that the active ingredient in marijuana, THC, causes brain cancer cells to undergo a process called autophagy. Autophagy is the breakdown of a cell that occurs when the cell essentially self-digests.

The team discovered that cannabinoids such as THC had anticancer effects in mice with human brain cancer cells and people with brain tumors. When mice with the human brain cancer cells received the THC, the tumor growth shrank.

Two patients enrolled in a clinical trial received THC directly to the brain as an experimental treatment for recurrent glioblastoma multiforme, a highly aggressive brain tumor. Biopsies taken before and after treatment helped track their progress. After receiving the THC, there was evidence of increased autophagy activity.

The findings appear in the April 1 issue of the Journal of Clinical Investigation.

The patients did not have any toxic effects from the treatment. Previous studies of THC for the treatment of cancer have also found the therapy to be well tolerated, according to background information in journal article.

Study authors say their findings could lead to new strategies for preventing tumor growth.

There are lots of medicines with this side effect.... and how well established that 'fact' is in the first place, concerning thc, isn't fully rooted in proof, in my readings on the topic. Usually any instance associated with it are people who are ON the substance, that is high at the moment.....

Cheers.
