The claims that it cures cancer <a href="http://www.skepticalraptor.com/skepticalraptorblog.php/marijuana-cancer-what-facts-smoke/" rel="nofollow">has been extensively debunked</a>. The most you can say is that it may affect cancer cells in glass dishes (<i>in vitro</i>), and it's a long distance from that to a clinically useful medication.<br /><br />Please. This is a scam, and it may keep people from attempting treatments that have a chance of working.Raven Onthillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06634556869209594389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5598883894140893389.post-55581495911893439302016-05-11T03:45:38.097+01:002016-05-11T03:45:38.097+01:00[P]ot does not cure...

And then they left the state because they weren't making enough money.<br /><br />The federal govt. subsidized my health insurance but in fact all I got was 'term' health insurance, an almost meaningless concept. I wasn't getting insurance because I felt sick, but because I might get sick down the road. Yet Obama's healthcare market place had no problems with this and Anthem pocketed some short-term change by applying long-term rates to people they were already planning to dump.Mark Gislesonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05264508885194574116noreply@blogger.com
