Cannabis Science reports: National Cancer Institute updates confirm successful cancer treatments with medical cannabis

Cannabis science, Inc. (OTCBB: CBIS), a pioneering U.S. biotech company, a Government is pleased to report published developing pharmaceutical cannabis products update on cancer treatments with medicinal cannabis (marijuana), updated 17 March 2011, such as the treatment of cancer with cannabinoids on the simple treatment of the symptoms and side effects goes, summarized by exhibiting the possible direct antitumor activities.

This summary contains the following information:

-Cannabis has been used for thousands of years prior to his current status as an illegal substance for medical purposes.

-Chemical components of cannabis, cannabinoids, called pharmacological effects, in particular in the central nervous system and the immune system enable specific receptors throughout the body.

-Cannabinoids can benefits in the treatment of cancer related side effects have.

-The potential benefits of the medical cannabis for people with cancer are antiemetic effects, appetite stimulation, pain relief and improved sleep.

-Although no relevant surveys the practice patterns it seems, that prescribe doctors for cancer patients, the medical cannabis mostly for symptom management do.

-In contrast to other common drugs cannabinoids stored in adipose tissue and eliminated at a low rate (half life 1 to 3 days).

-Selbst sudden cannabinoid recording setting is not associated with a rapid decline in plasma concentrations, which would be heavy or abrupt withdrawal symptoms or drug of cravings.

Robert Melamede, PhD., cannabis science's CEO said: "as we have already reported, have one of the most interesting discoveries, which emerged since the discovery of the endocannabinoid system (marijuana-like compounds produced by people and all vertebrates), that cannabinoids is significant cancer-killing and Anti-metastatic properties." There is strong scientific support, shown in the tissue culture and animal studies, from the strong cancer kill properties of cannabinoids in this deadly cancer as glioma, lung, breast and prostate cancer, leukemia and Lymphoma, and as well as skin cancer.

Currently, the Federal Government is prohibitionist position on cannabis interfere with the medical community by delaying vital clinical cannabis research. I was pretty excited when I saw recently that NCI published on its Web site "in the practice of the integrative Oncology, health care providers, medical cannabis not only for symptom management, but also for its possible antitumor effect of direct can recommend." I foolishly thought finally it would check official recognition of the science modern peer, which shows the cancer-killing properties of cannabinoids. "Unfortunately this statement without comment, hours after the task has been removed."

Dr. Melamede goes on to say "Clinical trials are urgently needed." Cannabis science is actively working on agreements that allow us, lead the necessary clinical trials, to check, or not, which demonstrated numerous anecdotal reports, what appears to be to cancer cures. These observations are more often occur because many States have legalized the medical use of cannabis. Cannabis in various forms was used for thousands of years as viable medicine for numerous complaints from various cultures. In fact some biblical translations even show, that cannabis (Qena Bosem) is a component of the "Holy anointing oil." "Current cannabis science provides evidence that supports the widespread historical use of oral, cannabis-based drugs, which was controlled by his success in the treatment of diseases easy."
