Weed Kills Brain Cells—especially the cancerous ones!

In Section: NY comPRESSed » Posted By: Lindsay MaHarry

Hangovers aren't the only thing a bong rip can cure. A recent study found that weed can also help to eliminate brain cancer cells. The active ingredient in marijuana, Tetrahydrocannabinol(THC) was proven to stimulate a process called autophagy.

Autophagy can either promote a cells survival or its death, depending on the circumstance. When in the presence of THC, autophagy induced destruction of the glioma cell in human subjects as well as the cancer-laden rodents. A huge breakthrough for science, as well as stoners everywhere. Spark up that joint!
