from Complutense University, Madrid, Spain on how THC kills cancer cells



And more honest talk about how the Feds hold a patent (#6630507) on the main ingredient

Cannabinoids have been found to have antioxidant properties, unrelated to NMDA receptor antagonism. This new found property makes cannabinoids useful in the treatment and prophylaxis of wide variety of oxidation associated diseases, such as ischemic, age-related, inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. The cannabinoids are found to have particular application as neuroprotectants, for example in limiting neurological damage following ischemic insults, such as stroke and trauma, or in the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease and HIV dementia




While the Feds say "there is no medical use for marijuana" and busted state legal dispensaries they were assigning a part of this patent to Kannalife.com

Edit: Ignoring Dr. Sanchez and the Federal Pot patents doesn't make them go away. This would be funny if it wasn't so serious. No wonder the Holder's of the world can blatantly lie to the American people so easily.
Ignore away!
