Benefits of Marijuana: Acute radiation syndrome

Nukes, another scam for alternatives clean energy? Would Ganja help prevent harm from radiation exposure. Yup. iodine pills? If there's a meltdown its unchartered water as far as I know. Radiation poisoning seems similar to radiation treatments side effects. Ganja would most likely help in the short term and long term. It already sounds like a media blackout and the Japanese "experts" and politicians aren't admitting anything. 50k evacuated. So it's doubtful if the cowards and Ganjawar profiteers are going to implement RxGanja. They covered up results and banned research. George Orwell would be envious. So they won't, but we can. Maybe coordinate with Japan's Ganja reform groups and if need be send some "supplies". Even leaves as polstices extracted into Hemp oil for skin burns and problems. Nausea and pain, sleep aid, lung cleaner. This is above and beyond politics and greed of the prohibitionists. Even if its just a truce in the war to relieve stress. Don't let the people suffer just to stay hard-assed on ideology, especially when its profit based. Get the People some Ganja!

Acute radiation syndrome: (ARS) FAQs
There are two major types of radiation: penetrating (ionizing) radiation and non-penetrating (non-ionizing) radiation.

Medical Conditions for Marijuana Treatment
General list of ailments with symptoms and/or side effects that have been treated with medical marijuana.

Medical Marijuana and Radiation Therapy
Countless studies have shown that marijuana is effective for lessening the effects of cancer and radiation treatment.

Pathologies Associated with the p53 Response
Although p53 is a major cancer preventive factor, under certain extreme stress conditions it may induce severe pathologies. Analyses of animal models indicate that p53 is largely responsible for the toxicity of ionizing radiation or DNA damaging drugs contributing to hematopoietic component of acute radiation syndrome.

Remarkably, in cultured cortical neurons, PFTα prevented cell death mediated by Delta9-THC (the psychoactive ingredient of marijuana) by the same mechanism of decreasing lysosomal permeability.

Cannabis Whets Appetite for Cancer Patients
People with advanced cancer said food tasted better when they took the active ingredient in cannabis compared with sugar pills, a small Canadian study showed. full story

Government Suppresses Marijuana Research

Study Finds No Cancer, Marijuana Connection By Marc Kaufman
CN Source: Washington Post May 25, 2006 Washington, D.C
While no association between marijuana smoking and cancer was found, the study findings, presented to the American Thoracic Society International Conference this week, did find a 20-fold increase in lung cancer among people who smoked two or more packs of cigarettes a day.

Proven : Cannabis is a safe medicine by Ian Williams Goddard
BOSTON, Jan. 30, 1997 (UPI) -
CANNABIS DOES NOT CAUSE CANCER

The U.S. federal government has failed to make public its own 1994 study that undercuts its position that marijuana is carcinogenic - a $2 million study by the National Toxicology Program. The program's deputy director, John Bucher, says the study "found absolutely no evidence of cancer." In fact, animals that received THC had fewer cancers. Bucher denies his agency had been pressured to shelve the report, saying the delay in making it public was due to a personnel shortage.

The Boston Globe reported Thursday (1-30-97) that the study indicates not only that the main ingredient in marijuana, THC, does not cause cancer, but also that it may even protect against malignancies, laboratory tests on animals show. The report comes on the heels of an editorial in the prestigious New England Journal of Medicine that favors the controlled medical use of marijuana, and calls current federal policy "misguided, heavy-handed and inhumane."

The Clinton administration has said that doctors prescribing marijuana could be prosecuted for a federal crime. Marijuana has been reported to ease the pain, nausea and vomiting in advanced stages of cancer, AIDS and other serious illnesses, but the federal government claims other treatments have been deemed safer than what it calls "a psychoactive, burning carcinogen." However, The Boston Globe says the government's claim appears to be undercut by its own $2 million study.

Marijuana" Can prevent Cancer
Recent research has shown that cannabinoids like anandamide (made in the human body) and THC (from marijuana) can halt and reverse breast cancer. Below is an abstract of one of the studies, which I found through a MEDLINE search.

Cannabis and cancer rhetoric
Another epidemiological study that had 64,855 people in it could not find a conclusive link between cancer and cannabis. Researchers did show concern over a POSSIBLE link between cannabis and cervical cancer or cancer of the prostate. They did not find a link between cannabis and cancer of the mouth or throat.

Antibacterial Cannabinoids from Cannabis Sativa
Marijuana (Cannabis sativa) has long been known to contain antibacterial cannabinoids, whose potential to address antibiotic resistance has not yet been investigated. All five major cannabinoids (cannabidiol (1b), cannabichromene (2), cannabigerol (3b), Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (4b), and cannabinol (5)) showed potent activity against a variety of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) strains of current clinical relevance.

Hemp 'Eats' Chernobyl Waste
The blast heavily contaminated agricultural lands in a 30 km radius around the reactor. The few people still living there must monitor their food and water for radiation. However the combination of a new technology (phytoremediation) and an old crop (industrial hemp) may offer the Ukraine a way to decontaminate it's radioactive soil.

Could Hemp Help Nuclear Clean-up in Japan?

I've been glued to the television and internet reports about the unfolding disaster in Japan. First an 8.9 magnitude earthquake strikes near the island nation, then a tremendous tsunami washes ashore and leaves an estimated 10,000 dead and thousands more missing. Now the failure of power and back-up cooling units has led to potential meltdowns in the country's nuclear reactors. full story
