Cannabis Oil: A New Era in Medicine
Rick Simpson has dedicated his life to helping patients suffering from all types of diseases, using natural hemp oil.
Rick Simpson's Hemp Oil Proves to Be Effective in the Fight Against Cancer.
Rick Simpson is a medical marijuana activist who has been providing information about the healing powers of hemp oil for 10 years.
In 2003, Rick Simpson cured himself from skin cancer, and since then he has dedicated his life to spreading the truth about hemp oil.
During that period, he received an absurd amount of opposition and lack of support from Canadian authorities, as well as pharmaceutical companies, public health agencies and UN offices.
According to Rick Simpson himself, he would have already treated 5000 patients free of charge and successfully.
He therefore believes that all diseases and conditions can be treated with hemp oil.
He has treated people for cancer, AIDS, arthritis, multiple sclerosis, diabetes, leukemia, Crohn's disease, depression, osteoporosis, psoriasis, insomnia, glaucoma, asthma, burns, migraines, regulation of body weight, chronic pain, and mutated cells (polyps, warts, tumors ).
This documentary “Run From The Cure”
(with Dutch subtitles) was created by Christian Laurette in 2008 and describes Rick Simpson's story.
The film features interviews with people who were cured by oil Rick's oil, but Rick Simpson declined that these people would testify in the Supreme Court of Canada during his 2007 trial.
This video documentary explains the healing benefits of hashish oil.

Cannabis: the evidence so far
There are several people who have investigated the scientific evidence for the claim that cannabis cures cancer. In Cannabis Does Not Cure Cancer, Dr. David Gorski, a breast cancer specialist, examines Arjun Walia's web page: 20 Medical Studies That Prove Cannabis Can Cure Cancer. What Dr. Gorski found is identical to what others have found, such as Skeptical Raptor (Marijuana and cancer–what are facts and what’s just smoke), who have looked at the studies put forth by CCC advocates as proof that cannabis cures cancer.
Many of the studies put forth aren't even about cancer.
Most of the studies were preclinical studies looking at cell culture models and mouse models.
Some of the studies found evidence that cannabinoids, under some circumstances, can actually stimulate cancer cell growth and possibly contribute to tumor progression.
Many of the studies involve trials of cannabinoids to treat cancer-related symptoms and side effects, not cancer itself.
Finally, the studies taken as a whole suggest that some purified cannabinoid agonists might be worth investigating further, but they do not provide a strong case for cannabis curing any kind of cancer.
Dr. Gorski concludes:
There’s a lot of interesting research about the role of cannabinoid receptors in cancer and whether targeting them with cannabinoid agonists from marijuana or other natural sources, synthetic agonists, or endocannibinoids will be a useful tool to add to the armamentarium of anticancer therapies. From what we know now, it is quite clear that cannabis does not cure cancer, at least not by itself and certainly not ingested or smoked as marijuana or ingested or applied topically as hemp oil. Even in purified form, naturally-derived or synthetic cannabinoid agonists show relatively modest antitumor activity in preclinical models, which means that they will have to be combined with existing chemotherapeutic regimens. If they do find their way into the routine clinical treatment of cancer, it will be through rigorous pharmacological studies and rigorous clinical trials, the latter of which, in particular, are painfully lacking.
