Study: Cannabinoids Can Reduce Skin Cancer By 90%

The Journal of Pharmacy and Pharmacology recently published a study from researchers at the Tokyo Metropolitan Institute of Public Health that shows cannabinoids can decrease up to 90 percent of skin cancer in a timeframe of only 20 weeks.

Researchers used a natural marijuana derivative known as synthetic cannabinoids which are characteristically more active. The examination was conducted on lab mice riddled with skin cancer over a 20 week period in which researchers discovered that cannabinoids played an instrumental role in reducing the mice?s skin cancer by up to 90 percent.

Furthermore, the study in question revealed that the synthetic cannabinoids were responsible for ?inhibiting tumor promotion.?

The study?s researchers came to the conclusion that this is the first report ?indicating the structure?activity relationships for the anti-inflammatory activity of synthetic cannabinoids on TPA-induced inflammation in mice. Naphthoylindoles, JWH-018, -122 and -210, had the most potent anti-inflammatory activity and also markedly inhibited tumor promotion by TPA in the two-stage mouse skin carcinogenesis model. The present results suggest that synthetic cannabinoids, such as JWH-018, -122 and -210, may be used as cancer chemo preventive agents in the future.?

This is astounding news! Now, if we could only commission a study that examines the multitude of beneficial uses for hash oil a.k.a. Rick Simpson?s Oil-Phoenix Tears to validate all of the anecdotal evidence that is already in existence.
