Could the chemicals found in marijuana prevent and even heal several deadly cancers? Discover the truth about this ancient medicine as world-renowned scientists in the field of cannabinoid research illustrate their truly mind-blowing discoveries. "What if Cannabis Cured Cancer" explains how we are all born with a form of marijuana already in our bodies, and when pot is consumed, the "endocannabinoids" inside us, along with any cannabinoids we ingest, fit together like a key in a lock. Thereby promoting the death of cancer cells without harming the body's healthy cells. A powerful and eye-opening film about the future of cannabis, and perhaps even the future of medicine. Narrated by Emmy-winning actor Peter Coyote. QUOTES: "What If Cannabis Cured Cancer summarizes the remarkable research findings of recent years about the cancer-protective effects of novel compounds in marijuana. Most medical doctors are not aware of this information and its implications for prevention and treatment. This documentary presents compelling evidence that our current policy on cannabis is counterproductive and foolish. An excellent film." -Andrew Weil, M.D. *** "A hugely important film." -Julie Holland, MD NYU School of Medicine *** "What If Cannabis Cured Cancer brings to light a host of recent findings that have potentially game-changing implications for the future of marijuana as a medicine. A must-see film." -Marijuana Policy Project Washington, DC *** SPECIAL BONUS: Puppet comedy short, "Kurt Cannabis Meets Connie Cancer", with the voices of Roseanne Barr and Malcolm McDowell. lenrichmondfilms

What if Cannabis Cured Cancer?
A film by Len Richmond [...]

Santa Monica, CA. 90405
$19.95 plus shipping
1 hour, narrated by Peter Coyote
While this position-paper film summarizes how and why cannabis became illegal, it goes beyond history to portray how cannabis works in the nervous system and, most importantly, research leads on its possible uses in treating a huge range of diseases.
After identifying the fact that the human nervous system has receptors for some of cannabis's plant chemicals, the film lists a huge number of healthy, normal human biological processes that are influenced by the naturally occurring endocannabinoids that our body produces. But when dysfunctions in this system happen, a large number of diseases can occur. In some cases, this dysfunction can be corrected and the diseases treated by stimulating these receptors with cannabis. If this begins to sound too scientific and confusing, What if Cannabis Cured Cancer? uses many helpful and clear graphics to clarify the ideas for the non-scientist.
While the title emphasizes cancer, diabetes, multiple sclerosis, AIDS/HIV, menopausal cramps, schizophrenia, central nervous system diseases, and other illnesses make an appearance too. Current research is investigating these leads, and the ? mark in the title stresses that so far these are hot leads, not solidly established facts yet. As for why these leads are not being avidly followed, the DEA, politicians, Government agencies, and the pharmaceutical companies take their editorial lumps.
This film should be shown to civic groups and community organizations, church groups, voter groups, health organizations, and in secondary schools and universities. City and university libraries should acquire this, and public TV stations would serve their publics well to broadcast it. Most importantly, it could well tip the balance away from well-meaning but ill-informed anti-cannabis populace toward an informed pro-cannabis electorate.

This documentary blows you away with the truth about cannabis, as it has never been told before. Filled with amazing facts and testimonies from doctors, it is both eye opening and awe striking. All humans need to see this and understand the untapped medicinal value of cannabis. The fate of the future of medicine rests in removing cannabis from its insane position as a Schedule 1 drug.

What if Cannabis cured Cancer? If what it says is real people should listen! There are so many things cannabis is said to be good for. And curing cancer!
How many of us have lost loved ones? It should make us all furious that there is a cure or a treatment that can help people who are suffering get some comfort!
I myself don't partake of the herb but I sure would want some help if I was suffering from cancer and suffering from pain. This could help and the "money makers"
can't make money so they make it illegal??? We gotta wake up. Of course there are issues and good ones but really let's give ourselves a little credit. I don't want to start a soap box. Good day!
