THC Kills Glioma Cancer Cells - Medical Miracles from Europe

April 4, 2008 - Before speaking to the 5th Clinical Conference on Cannabis Therapeutics in Pacific Grove, CA, Deputy Director of NORML Paul Armentano talks about new science on Cannabis (marijuana) and the Endo-Cannabinoid system being done in Europe, while American cancer patients, many with tragic cases of Glioma brain tumors, seek any news of an alternative therapy.
Paul references the work of Dr. Manuel Guzman, Madrid, who has seen THC kill brain cancer cells while leaving surrounding tissue unharmed, demonstating the neuroprotectant properties of Cannabinoids.
Then Paul is joined by Dr. David Bearman, of Galeta, CA, who tells of the fear that patients feel when encountering an cancer like Glioma.
Paul has collected the latest research on medical Cannabis, available in a PDF or booklet at:

We also talk about Cannabis in the treatment of ALS (Lou Gehrig's Disease) and the documentary I'm doing on Cathy Jordan, a medical marijuana patient who has survived ALS for 22 years now!

amazing guitar player

George W. Told The Nation ( By Tom Paxton)

What did you learn in school today? (Tom Paxton)

Worldwide rise of food prices

This video is a collection of film footage and photos about the worldwide rise in food prices.

Prices have risen dramatically in the last 3 years causing unrest in many lands as the people are hit even harder by the effects of inflation, poverty and greed.

The big companies who keep on raising their prices don't seem to be making any losses and are making larger profits than the previous year so is the rise of prices due to additional fuel costs as they claim ?

The background song is "Jail dem" by Trinidadian Calypsonian Roaring Lion.

I think his commentary despite being from 50 odd years ago is very appropiate to recent events.
