I put Middle Earth Journal in hiatus in May of 2008 and moved to Newshoggers.
I temporarily reopened Middle Earth Journal when Newshoggers shut it's doors but I was invited to Participate at The Moderate Voice so Middle Earth Journal is once again in hiatus.

Cannabis extract shrinks brain tumors

Now we know why the FDA and the pharmaceutical industry are so afraid of pot, it cures people and you can't get a patent on it so no big $$$$.
Cannabis extracts may shrink brain tumors and other cancers by blocking the growth of the blood vessels which feed them, suggests a new study.

An active component of the street drug has previously been shown to improve brain tumors in rats. But now Manuel Guzmán at Complutense University, Spain, and colleagues have demonstrated how the cannabis extracts block a key chemical needed for tumors to sprout blood vessels - a process called angiogenesis.
Wouldn't it be nice to get a buzz instead of getting sick from your cancer therapy?
