Irresponsible And Misleading Reefer Madness From The British Lung Foundation. Click To Download the Report The British Lung Foundation (BLF) has today published ‘The impact of cannabis on your lungs’, a report which claims to be “the most comprehensive review of research data yet compiled on the subject”. In fact, although the report references a great deal of scientific research, the way it presents its conclusions is a dangerously irresponsible mix of conjecture, extremist opinion and scaremongering. In particular, the claim by Dame Helena Shovelton, Chief Executive of the BLF, that cannabis cigarettes are 20 times more dangerous than tobacco cigarettes is cherry picked sensationalism. It comes from a study in 2008 from New Zealand that looked at fewer than 80 lung cancer patients.
This preposterous claim was calculated by “logistic regression”. Cannabis Can Kick Cancer's Ass. Actually it’s the cannabinoids (the chemicals in cannabis) that fight cancer cells.
In the past nine years, there have been over 20 major studies that these cannabanoids actually arrest cancer growths of many different forms of cancer, including brain, melanoma and breast cancer. There is evidence that cannabinoids cause direct anti-tumor activity. The side effects associated with cannabis, compared with all other current drug therapies, is classified as “low risk”.

Today BBC Newsbeat posted Release’s call for the cultivation of a small number of cannabis plants for personal use to be decriminalized , but in the interest of being fair reported huge scientific inaccuracies claiming that cannabis causes both emphysema and lung cancer.
The BBC has recently been showing a very strong prejudice against cannabis and has gained a reputation for distorting the facts and coming up with lines like “cannabis attacks the brain like an herbal terrorist”. Quite odd that when you discover that cannabis is used to protect the brain from neurological diseases like MS, Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s. Not quite the equality and fairness you would expect the Beeb to publish while operating under a Royal Charter to provide independent services – you know free from Government influence. What if we “Run from the Cure” instead of using it? What if it was illegal to do something that would save your life or the life of a much loved family member or friend?
What if you were a Police Constable and knew something was being done that was illegal but could cure somebody from a very serious disease, lets say ‘Cancer‘, would you arrest them and charge them for trying to help save the life of their family member or friend? What if you were a Police Constable but the person who could be cured was a member of ‘Your’ family or a friend , would ‘You’ go against legislation, break the (law) legislation, to save this persons life?
What if you were a Judge, lawyer or clerk of the court, would you prosecute and sentence people for trying to save the lives of their loved one’s in using this cure? What if you were a Judge, lawyer or clerk of the court, and the person who was being prosecuted for trying to save the life of their loved one was You?
