F**king moron.
You need to be really careful. You know how many people refuse treatment for an otherwise curable case because they put their trust in ineffective alternative medicine?
These people are in an incredibly vulnerable state, and I think it's very sad that people like Rick Simpson will try and convince them that he know best to sell a few bottles of cannabis oil.
You're right that medical science is a multi-billion dollar industry. You also have to bear in mind that there is no discovered cure, the CEOs of research companies still die of cancer like the rest of us.
Be careful of what you present as truth.
Honestly, people like you make me sick. To quote Bertrand Russell: "The whole problem with the world is that the fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, and the wiser people are so full of doubts."
You do know cancer goes into remission all by itself right? You should do some reading by some real credible scientists, not dudes with youtube channels.
Now that your under attack for being an idiot, you cook up some bullsh*t story about YOUR OWN MOTHER, in a vain attempt to validate your ridiculous comments.
Shame on you.
That is one example out of literally millions. There is such a thing as spontaneous remission, and it's possible for cancer to simply "cure itself". Often you find people who have had a miracle recovery will put their recovery down to the fact that they did something differently. Unfortunately they will often then try and sell that item.
If you've got a string of letters after your name, or have a massive amount of published material on the subject, then yes... you are an authority and should be listened to. But if you're some who says, he says, she says parrot regurgitating 'facts' that haven't been substantiated, and actively trying to usurp peoples life's work because you read something on the internet once, then you're an idiot.. and shouldn't breed.
Oh yeah and while I'm at it.. New World Order, Illuminati, Knights Templar and Norbs got robbed (although he actually did)
So you agree we need to swap present governments for wise people then? Because I can think of shit loads of applications of bureaucracy having zero doubts and actually your average intellectual in the street doesn't have that many doubts bud. They're pretty sure of themselves. As you all seem to be sure that peanut is wrong. No mention of intellectuals with good grammar, who look down on people with lesser English like you do, in that quote. But you're in there, if he's the fool, the rest of you are fanatics. Because 'wisdom' is not saying 'government and scientists said so'. It's your esteemed 'education' as you call it, that is the problem. Frankly it's always the intellectual who's chosen an extra high level of indoctrination (university) who can waffle all day long about complex economics, banking practice and derivatives but yet cannot grasp, and often melt down, when questioned about the basics of interest applied to money created.
Look up the term goyim. Then don't be one. They're laughing at you. They laughing at all of us. Having a 10k specialized will not exclude you.
None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they are free.
So buying a raffle ticket with your tinfoil hats on doesn't support big pharma per say, but it supports helping people directly affected by cancer and giving them additional support networks to move forward.
Now would be the perfect time to simply shut your f*cking moronholes up. Regardless, big pharma and cancer research have saved untold lives, and until there is legitimate research into cannabis oils as treatments, you're just hurting more people by spreading unsubstantiated information. What to help, encourage people to seek traditional medicines while also educating on the possible positives of cannabis. Or simply shut your mouth.
"to sell a few bottles of cannabis oil"
Simpson doesn't wish to sell you anything bud. He doesn't even sell a machine to make it. He simply wants to help people.
Pharma wants to sell you stuff. The irony is hilarious. Snakeoil salesmen have to actually try to sell you something in order to qualify.
I used to listen to RATM. Maybe you're onto something.
Anyway, love you all, gotta walk away from the scrapping and name calling. It's very playground. And if anyone says challenging ideas is childish they must go back to understand the very concept of a nanny state. It doesn't just tell you what to do. adios. We all love bikes, remember that.
Don't believe anything put forth by "the man"
Never question anything you see on the internet
Now THAT'S funny.
Peanutbutter: Your heart is clearly in the right place. And yes big pharma is not free from corruption. Not at all. But be careful of taking the view that anything that is not "on the fringe" is free of merit. I have a good friend who has devoted her life to curing cancer. She has a list of PHD's and knows her shit. She certainly puts huge energy into researching hemp based cures, AND she puts the same energy into more "mainstream" cures. I often argue with her (usually whilst sharing a spliff) over the merits of big pharma and I must admit she knows a shit load more than I do. She thinks their methods have some merit and as much as I like to play devils advocate, I believe her.
Whatever may be true, it is good to be suspicious. It is good to believe only what you have found out yourself and take any information forced upon you from either camp with a pinch of salt. Always think, never just believe something cos it is accepted by the mainstream, but at the same time be very careful not to fall so far down the rabbit hole that you start to believe EVERYONE is corrupt. That no one who gets paid is to be trusted.
Remind yourself daily that 99% of people out there are quite nice really. Misguided perhaps, but not evil. Even some people in government...less of them perhaps, but there are still some good eggs. It is sad that there are some total bastards out there, and a lot of them have huge quantities of money. It is sad that capitalism often favors a bastard. But it would be sadder still to live in a world where noone trusts anyone. You make your own world, don't make it a lonely one. Be the change you want to see in the world. I think Ghandi said that? Then some bastard took it and ran with it. Whatever, there is still some truth in there.

$3.74 goes to actually helping people with cancer
$0.51 goes towards fundraising
$0.60 goes to paying staff (excluding the CEO)
$0.17 goes to paying Jennifer Merschdorf - Chief Executive Officer
I am also assuming your donations do not get taxed or anything.
Aside from the CEO making $132,453 a year, which seems a little high compared to say minimum wage, I'd say that all seems pretty above board.
$0.60 goes to paying overheads and non CEO staff
I'll happily admit i've done no research whatsoever on Rick Simpson. If he is simply trying to inform the masses, that gives him much more credibility than i've given him.
I stand by my words: You have to be careful what you present as truth, if cannabis oil was a flat out cure for cancer we'd see it heavily publicized by social media. I really think it's dangerous to preach about alternative medicine, in a manner so absolute as Peanutbuter has.
In answer to your comment, drugs are in fact quite useful. They can make you better when you are ill. I assume from the context that you in fact mean psychoactive drugs? In that case, psychoactive drugs can also be useful when trying to fix not only mental but also physical health issues. Pain killers for example. Or antidepressants. Just as two widely accepted mainstream examples. Personally I avoid both of those myself wherever possible as i think there are better solutions to be found.
On a side note, do you drink at all?
I'm not one of these "Weed is awesome, weed cures every possibly ailment and anyone who says otherwise is working for the man!" types. In fact I don't really use it myself any more. But a little perspective is a good thing. And weed CAN help with many many problems. Including cancer. Dunno if it can cure it. But it can certainly help. That is almost unquestionable these days. In fact if you eat it raw, rather than smoking it, it is incredibly good for you whether you are ill or not.
As for the "man made substances being good for the body" comment. I don't think I actually said that anywhere. In fact I believe I said I avoid medicine where possible. I will take it when necessary, but always as a last resort. People who pop a pill every time they have a headache or "feel a bit funny" are wasting their money and their liver. A good diet will fix most things.
I also feel I should point out that purposely mis-spelling my name is another example of something that makes you look slightly angry. Relax man.
Who are these institutions funded by? Not one individual martini sipping megalomaniac, sure. But who?
If Simpson wants to prove his claims then simply go through the same scientific process as any other medicine, a placebo controlled double blind study would quickly demonstrate how successful it is if it truly is a cure for cancer
He's tried. He's tried everything. He's been trying for years. He's approached governments, city halls, the press, live tv debate, you name it. He's been dragged through the courts, treated like a criminal. And turned down shares in pharma to work with them. Nobody will touch the stuff you can grow in your garden and make with a rice cooker. I wonder why. Well I don't actually. There are lots of reasons. None of them being 'everyone denying cannabis is a psycho working for the illuminati'. We can go through a few of the possibilities why people are so afraid of what's right in front of their faces. And why the whole bloody world looks to a man in a white suit with a clipboard working for the government before they engage their brains.
Cancer Research Uk for instance is mostly funded by the British people through legacies and charitable donations - are you honestly suggesting that cancer charities are suppressing a cure for cancer in order to curry favour with pharma companies? Seriously?
"He's tried. He's tried everything. He's been trying for years. He's approached governments, city halls, the press, live tv debate, you name it."
Sorry but calling BS on this one - a guy can raise $13 million on kickstarter for a cool box that plays music and you are telling me Simpson cannot find enough funding to test a free cure for cancer? He claims to have cured 9000 people - if each of them gave only $50 that's nearly half a million dollars. If his claims had any true validity he would have no problem sourcing funding - rich people get cancer too.
There is a very good reason why Simpson cannot produce the scientific data to support claims that he has a cure for cancer - and trust me it has nothing to do with people ignoring what's in front of theirs faces or differing to men in white coats.
As for "we will see what happens" nothing will happen - Simpson has had over a decade and thousands of healed patients (according to him) to get his sh!t together - he claims 9000 healed - trust me a 9000 patient case study showing an incredibly successful healing rate would create huge waves in the medical community. Nothing has stopped him doing this. He is using "big pharma" as the whipping boy for his inability to produce any tangible evidence for his snake oil (which whilst he may not be selling it it is being sold for $154 for a two ounce bottle on "cureyourcancer" - so clearly someone is making plenty of money out of it - money that weirdly doesn't seem to be going back into research! Odd that, interestingly on the website for the producers of that oil it states "This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease.")
"right. no valid point to make so just chuck in an insult and feel good about yourself"
Cya later man....
Paulski, here is some evidence of the inhibitive effects of cannabinoids on tumor growth:
files.iowamedicalmarijuana.org/science/cancer/Ligresti%202006.pdf
And if thats possibly a bit biased due to the source, try this:
www.cancer.gov/cancertopics/pdq/cam/cannabis/healthprofessional/page4
I am also done with this conversation. Only joined it to say that Peanutbuter didn't deserve all the unfounded criticism he was getting.
It's been fun y'all
That $154 product is selling itself on a website that called "cureyourowncancer" for Christ sakes - yet that warning is hidden away in the ingredients section - it is clearly associating itself with serious health claims and is allowed to do so because it is totally unregulated and untested.
And what "propaganda" is there in what I wrote? Are there Cancer Research charities that are pouring millions into finding a cure for cancer? Yes. Why would any one of these charities not fund Simpsons work if it was what he claimed - namely a free cure for cancer. Has Simpson claimed to have healed 9000 patients? Yes. So why hasn't he completed a case study report into this - if he was a driven as you claim he is why has he let 9000 cases proving his claims simply slip through his fingers? You seem to be mistaking "propaganda" with "facts".
Are there Cancer Research charities that are pouring millions into finding a cure for cancer? Yes.
Is this an opinion? Yes. Because you used the word cure. When earlier you stated treatment. Tell me this... If you don't see that a CURE that can be made in your backyard/kitchen threatens to end big pharma, cancer charities, cancer wards, the majority of the socialist health'care' (what a joke) and a great many things in between then what can I say? You're blind. Tell me this also... Since simpson has the data, but as was said by someone earlier.. IT CAN'T BE PROFITED FROM, then why don't the beloved benevolent cancer research UK do the study with the millions of pounds they're taking off the people under the guise of finding a cure? Many reasons. Number one? Survival. It would end cancer research UK in a matter of months. Tbc..
In mice - sadly we aren't looking to cure mouse cancer. This is the first step towards proper research but "inhibiting tumour growth in immuno suppressed mice" =/= cure for cancer. As a side note that paper was funded by big pharma (I thought that didn't happen?).
You may also wish to take a look at this www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10861074 which states THC actually increases tumour growth in mice due to being immunosuppresive (this paper was not funded by pharma BTW) as does this paper too www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15749859 (also not funded by pharma).
We are a million miles away from comprehensive evidence and as such Simpsons claims are unfounded and dangerous.
And what propoganda? You're barking the establishment story and you ask me what propoganda? If you can't see imperialist corporate fascism slapping us all round the face, then I can't help you. Go and look for yourself. But you won't. After nearly fifty years of the establishment line, you're confident everything is fine, most of your friends make you feel safe in that. Tbc
I can make penicillin myself from the contents of my kitchen - does that mean an end to the pharma companies that produce it? I can grow vegetables in my back garden - does that mean an end to farming and green grocers? I can produce rape seed oil in my back garden and run my car on it - does that mean the end of the oil industry? If you think that finding a cure for cancer would end pharma merely because it can be grown in your garden you are wrong. Sativex proves this - it was clearing over £10 million per year in 2012 with over 100% growth year on year - for a product you'd claim can be grown in your garden.
You openly claim that Cancer Research UK are actively suppressing research into this area in order to line their own pockets! Keeping it classy there. And how would it end Cancer research in a matter of months? Unless of course you are suggesting that cannabis oil is capable of curing all cancers out there.
"They've been dumbed down and trained to seek expert opinion" - possibly the dumbest thing I've read in a while - take a look at what that expert opinion has done for life expectancy. Your portrayal of Oncologists as bad people is so far off the mark - I have worked with these people previously - in Great Ormond Street to name but one, and trust me if this was a cure they would be all over it.
Quote me please. Pretty sure you're putting words in my mouths. Factually, you are, because those aren't my words. Actually don't bother. Lets forget it. I've learnt to leave these things because they can go on indefinitely. Not because you've won. I can do this forever. It's just a waste of time. Just engage the other side of your brain. The one they're trying to keep you away from. Because humans are being used like programmable computers. FACTS DATA EVIDENCE FACTS DATA EVIDENCE. MORE INPUT!
#johnny5isalive
And your incessant rambling about "facist govts" are making you look crazy as its a totally unrelated topic - we are not sayin whether it should be legal but whether its a cure for all known cancer. Which it isn't.
"You're barking the establishment story" - where am I barking the establishment dstory? I think cannabis should be legallised - but that does not make it a cure for cancer no matter how much you want it to be. You do realise that Bob Marley - probably the most famous prolific pot smoker of all time died of cancer right? I thought cannabis could cure all known cancers though?
This is ridiculous. Sativex proves what exactly? That people don't have a choice?
And I think you'll find I stated that your beloved government stops you growing it in your garden. Where have you been? It's illegal. And you never managed to explain why.
You are right - instead lets have a totally unregulated industry for people to make whatever claims they want to and add whatever the hell they want to without any evidence to support their claims at all, rather than actually testing it in a scientific method and have it released in a monitored and controlled manner in order to ensure that there are no unexpected side effects and produced in a safe manner so that a couple of decades down the line you have an incredibly cheap and incredibly safe medicine that is readily available to all (you do understand the patent laws around pharmaceuticals right?)
Here you go -
IT CAN'T BE PROFITED FROM, then why don't the beloved benevolent cancer research UK do the study with the millions of pounds they're taking off the people under the guise of finding a cure? Many reasons. Number one? Survival. It would end cancer research UK in a matter of months.
Sativex proves that Pharma can make money from it - something you claimed is impossible - its being used in Canada, a country where you are legally allowed to grow cannabis for medicinal purposes. So even when provided the choice many will choose a medicianl product because they feel its safer. Like I said I can whip up penicillin in my kitchen - doesn't mean I'm going to though.
This, forever more, will be the problem and the main reason they have you. It couldn't possibly be any more related. Step back. Join the dots. You don't live in a democracy. You've been tricked. Sorry about that, it's not my fault. It's absolutely related. How is the fact that an oppresive regime stops ME medicating MYSELF (not selling it to anyone, not adding anything to it, not risking lives) not related to the simple answer to whether it's a cancer cure, that being trying it!?
But I'm out, I'm wasting my time. Next thing you'll be telling me that imaginary unbacked fiat currency is not related to perpetual endless war because one is finance and one is defence.
I cannot medicate myself with heroin - doesn't mean that I cannot get access to opiates. To suggest that the only way to medicate oneself is to grow it in your garden is moronic in the extreme. In the US in 23 states you can grow cannabis for medicinal reasons - so there is now a vast opportunity to test your theory, I'm assuming we are going to see cancer rates plummet in these areas right? (and before you harp on about "the people are waiting for the men in white coats to tell them its OK" this bill has been brought in to allow people to self medicate cannabis - if your claim was correct the bill would never have been created because according to you people won't self medicate).
I realise you have swallowed the big book of govt conspiracies and want to spit out as many as possible, but no amount of govt conspiracy makes cannabis a cure for all cancers.
Sweet Jesus - obviously pharma does not want to cure right - I mean apart from Measles. And Mumps. And Rubella. And many other disease that have almost disappeared thanks to vaccines - a ten year old can understand that - now take a look at the number of cancer vaccines that are currently being developed and tell me that pharma does not wish to cure cancer. Take a look at the amount of research that is going into new antibiotics too - all from an industry that has no interest in "cures". I forgot to mention the gene therapy research as well - cures for SCID and ADA developed, and there is a huge amount more research going into this area - an area which in the most part creates "cures" not "treatments". So apart from all those examples you are almost correct!
Cognitive dissonance is rampant. You just proved it. Untwist your knickers. If you're so sane, and I'm so cuckoo, how come I managed to wind you up so much? Doesn't add up bud. Just admit you're vexed because the evidence for a different view of the world to the one we've been sold, is coming in by the bucket load. You're just getting angry because the dream you bought into is falling apart and it's harder and harder to convince yourself it's real. Monsanto.. definitely nothing fascist about a government creating a protection bill for a corporation right? Definitely nothing fishy about them buying Blackwater, the world's largest private army.
P.s. it's not my 'propoganda bullshit', try Edward Bernays. But you probably think propoganda died right after reefer madness and disneys support the war tax.
Anyway, good luck, life is gonna get really irritating if you can't handle an opposing view on reality.
Disappear Mr facts of life? How f*cking old are you? Grow up. You're a child in the playground going 'go away I don't like what you're saying'. Better beef up your bubble dude, because lots of people are carrying pins these days and the numbers are growing.
I'm only responsible for what I say. I'm not responsible for what you understand.

nothing to do with cancer, but it does a good job of propping up the general argument you are trying to put across. And its also bloody scary if you ask me....
Hey, got a joke for ya....
Q:What's the difference between the mafia and the government?
A:The mafia doesn't have a 16,000 hour indoctrination system to teach you it's not the mafia!
But I'm out. You don't even see a level truce and possible avenues for broadening your perspective. And you call me Mr f*cking know it all, you are being one sided. Summed up by your colleague who has truly granted his mind away by stating 'we don't need people who challenge us'. You're animals. No wonder we still need governing like cattle.
look who's rattled now?
If you are going to insult me it would probably help if you learnt to actually read properly as I actually wrote the polar opposite of what you claim. The opening line if my post starts with "We ABSOLUTELY DO need people to challenge us" - perhaps if you weren't so incredibly closed minded you wanted misinterpret what people write in order to suit your own bias - I look forward to your no doubt forthcoming apology.
He's either a liar.. or just lost
Tobias, the absolute drivvel you are spouting on here is offensive in the extreme, not only to me and the hundreds of thousands of researchers and healthcare professionals worldwide, but to anyone that has ever had cancer, or lost somebody to cancer.
That's quite a demographic to offend - maybe you should spend a bit of time thinking about that before posting anything else?
I'm not going to insult you, but please, just calm down and accept that maybe (just maybe) the thousands and thousands of intelligent people across the world who have been researching cancer treatments for decades actually know significantly/infinitely more about this than you do. Yes, yes.... they are all part of the system, puppets, victims of brainwashing from the medical-industrial complex. Yawn.
Since some components might help to prevent or even to slow down the cancers process...what is far fetched, because the studies on marihuana are in their beginnings, it doesn´t cure it !!!

Terrible! Never seen so much ignorance towards something that HAS been proven repeatedly to HELP!! What the hell is wrong with you guys?!
So weird!
My reply:
- Babe. The money goes towards improving the quality of care and the support for young women with breast cancer. Call me shallow but, since you and I have been together you know that not only do I love you because of your incredible character and your bad temper but you also because I am all about that natural boobage you sport on a daily basis that forces me to wear three pairs of briefs.
(Click Back to the Evil Bike Photo spread)
- Now look at all that neon pink... think about how insanely hot you would look riding that beast of a bike down our local trails. (Note the diversion tactic here as, if I were to win the bike she would most likely inherit my Yeti SB66 and I would violate that Evil bike until the carbon melted off of it)
Missus. - You know... you are right. Can I donate too?
Missus sits on me lap and breaks her card out for another donation.
Moral of the story: Love the boobage, love your bike as much as the boobage. Try and incorporate as much boobage in your riding as you can as often as you can. Contribute how you can to the destruction of boobage harming agents, be it poorly designed bras, minuscule genetic flaws in the recipe of awesomeness that all women are or even poorly justified plastic boobage.
Best Regards.
