Can Cannabis Save Millions of Human Lives if there is a Bird Flu Pandemic?

[Grat3fulh3ad]

A very interesting Paper from Dr.Bob Meleamede...

The first paragraph...

Much of our biochemistry involves a balance of pro and anti inflammatory activities, Yin and Yang. When these acivities are imbalanced, the result is illness. Based on the article below, it appears that the lethality of H5N1 may be due to the human body's imbalanced immunological response to the bird flu virus. The paper shows a strong pro-inflammatory cytokine response (cytokines are protein messengers that enable cells to communicate and respond to things) to H5N1 infection may account for the high lethality of H5N1. If so, cannabis (NOT SMOKED-it is an irratant and could make things worse) could be the life saving answer to the possible future pandemic due to its capacity to down-regulate these cytokines (specifically TNF).Â

Closed minded idiots are the reason. I do wonder if the persecution of mj users will continue when big pharma claims the drug.

I wouldn't doubt it but i know they will think of every single other way before ever thinking of trying cannabis as the answer.

pipeline. the research proves them wrong, why would they want that.
