A father battling cancer claims cannabis helped cure him of the disease.
Trevor Smith, 54, was diagnosed with bladder cancer in 2012. Doctors told him that without immediate surgery to remove his bladder, prostate and lymph nodes - followed by chemotherapy - he would be dead within two years.

But worried about his quality of life after such radical surgery, he decided to try alternative therapies - and began taking cannabis oil after learning about it online.

But worried about his quality of life after such radical surgery, he decided to try alternative therapies - and began taking cannabis oil after learning about it online

He claims that 10 weeks later, despite doctors' warnings about delaying treatment, the cancer had not spread to any other organs.

This meant it could be lasered away in a far less invasive procedure - and he the father-of-three has now been cancer-free for a year.

Mr Smith, who works as a manager in the oil and gas industry, said: 'It felt like I was going into the unknown, but the cannabis oil changed things for the better.

'When doctors told me I had gone into remission, I was lost for words, I almost couldn’t believe it.'

'I feel indebted to the oil and its medical properties, there are alternatives to chemotherapy but people just need to open their eyes to it.'

Scientific research does suggest that cannabinoids – the active chemicals found in cannabis – possess anti-cancer properties which help stem the growth of malignant tumours.

And Cancer Research UK is currently funding clinical trials using the drug.

Mr Smith's wife Carol, 55, said: 'So many thoughts rushed through my mind all at once when Trevor was diagnosed. All I could envisage was I was going to lose the love of my life.

'We knew we had to try a different approach to save his life.'

While a healthy diet and alternative medicines, such as Essiac tea and vitamin supplements, were successful in improving Mr Smith’s overall health, he was still in excruciating pain as the cancer continued to spread.

It was then that they resorted to using cannabis oil to treat his cancer - risking prison by possessing large quantities of the drug.

The couple, from Derby, made the controversial decision after discovering a popular pro-cannabis film called ‘Run From The Cure’, which claimed the class B drug could be used as a cure.

The couple got in contact with a legal manufacturer of cannabis oil in the USA, who agreed to supply Mr Smith with the drug.

The couple arranged to pick up 60 grams of cannabinoid, an edible compound of the plant containing 65 per cent tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) - the psychoactive compound in marijuana -in the UK.

Research published last month by the University of East Anglia found THC has been shown to help combat the growth of cancerous cells.

CANNABIS OIL: AN EXPERT'S VIEW

Dr Kat Arney, Cancer Research UK’s science communications manager, told MailOnline: 'We know that cannabinoids – the active chemicals found in cannabis – can have a range of different effects on cancer cells grown in the lab and animal tumours.

'But at the moment there isn’t good evidence from clinical trials to prove that they can safely and effectively treat cancer in patients.

'Despite this, we are aware that some cancer patients do choose to treat themselves with cannabis extracts.

'These stories can help researchers build a picture of whether these treatments are helping or not, although this is weak evidence compared to properly-run clinical trials.

'Cancer Research UK is supporting clinical trials for treating cancer with cannabis extract and a synthetic cannabinoid In order to gather solid data on how best these drugs can be used to benefit people with cancer.'
.
Although doctors can prescribe the drug to named cancer patients to treat nausea and vomiting, the possession of cannabinoid is prohibited under UK law and can carry a prison sentence of up to five years.
Mr Smith said: 'It wasn’t a case of I had no respect for the law, I was fighting to save my life.

'At that point, I would have risked everything to beat the cancer. 'These options have always been there, even in the UK, but the medical system has kept it from everyone.

'I never really gave it a second thought; I was in a race against time, so I had to roll the dice.'

His wife, an artist, added: 'I would have done anything to give my husband the treatment he needed.

'Even if I was caught, what would they do? Send me to prison for trying to treat my dying husband?

'The only thing in my mind was saving my husband from chemo, radiation and radical surgery - not my freedom.'

The couple, who have been married for 33 years, planned to carry out the treatment, which included feeding Mr Smith 60 grams of cannabis oil, over a period of ten weeks.

The father-of-three, who had no previous experience of taking the drug, said: 'The effects were quite shocking.'

His wife said: 'Initially, Trevor reacted very badly to the cannabis oil.

'Neither of us had ever used any recreational drugs, so we weren’t aware of the effects it had.

'At first, it made him very sleepy and non-responsive - both conversationally and physically.

'He would sleep for up to 12 hours at night. It was one of the hardest things we have ever gone through.'

Mrs Smith has since written a book called Taking Control: My Journey of Alternative Healing by Alyssia Sade.

Research led by Dr Wai Liu, at St George’s University in London, suggests that cannabinoids possess anti-cancer properties which help to stem the growth of malignant tumours.


Mr Smith said: 'I feel indebted to the oil and its medical properties, there are alternatives to chemotherapy but people just need to open their eyes to it'

He said: 'Mechanistically, both THC and cannabinoids work by switching on cell killing processes that are found in cancer cells.

'The idea is that by switching these on, cell death can be engaged leading to reductions in tumours.

'Similarly, actions through these signalling cascades could actually make the cancer cells more sensitive to other forms of therapy - I suppose cannabinoids and THC could act by laying the foundations for other therapies to work more effectively.'

Dr Kat Arney, science communications manager at Cancer Research UK, said: 'We know that cannabinoids can have a range of different effects on cancer cells grown in the lab and animal tumours.

'But at the moment there isn’t good evidence from clinical trials to prove that they can safely and effectively treat cancer in patients.

Life's full of Danger, God bless the Ganja/ blaze wit no anger, explode like a banger/ trust no stranger so I keep one up in the chamber/

Understand the difference between marijuana and hemp. Hemp and marijuana are both varieties, subspecies, of the Cannabis sativa plant. Marijuana is simply considered to have a higher THC and cannibinoid content. They both contain cannabinoids, a class of chemicals that activate cell membrane receptors. The most well known of these cannabinoids is tetrahydrocannabinol or THC. You need the female plant to make effective medical marijuana oil.

Know that medical marijuana oil is not the same as hemp seed oil. Hemp seed oil is a cold-pressed oil made from the seeds of the hemp plant. It's rich with essential fatty oils and used for its nutritional benefits. You can easily buy it in health food stores. It often gets mislabeled as "hemp oil," but it's not. True hemp oil (aka medical marijuana oil), on the other hand, is made from the buds of the female marijuana plant. The THC and Cannibinoids in the plant allows it to impact cells and offer medicinal benefits.

Former pastor on marijuana: "If you believe in God, you have to believe in cannabis"

Posted: Aug 12, 2014 12:43 AM


Updated: Aug 12, 2014 12:43 AM

"If you believe in God, you have to believe in cannabis," former pastor Al Pollard said.

"It's a plant."

Al Pollard is a bright-eyed, exuberant paraplegic who is on a mission to educate Mississippians about marijuana. He wants it to be legalized, taxed and regulated.

"It's God's medicine," he said.

At age 18, Pollard became paralyzed in a diving accident. He says that during the first 6 months of his accident, he was prescribed to more than twelve medicines per day, including prescription pain narcotics.

After leaving physical therapy, he replaced the prescription drugs with marijuana use.

"I recently came clean with my doctor, telling her I've never taken medicine since my release from rehab. She was shocked, but believed me. I told her marijuana is my medicine and that it helps me," he said.

"Maintaining a moderate use has proven to be the cause of my healthy condition."

Pollard has a prescription for marijuana in California.

"Being a pastor and using cannabis didn't sit well with me, but now that God has freed me to its use, I want to help others understand and become free to the use of cannabis."

He says pot remedies every negative aspect of his life.

"That's what it's doing to me-- I don't have spasms, I sleep better, my bowels are more firm, I've lost weight. When I go on long trips it helps control my bladder," he said.

"I asked my doctor why I should be on something that has side effects when there's a medicine out there without side effects."

He says that's why he's pushing for legalization.

"For us to stand up and say "'alright, no more kicking out our kids because they've got a natural herb in them, no more suspending me off of my job."'

"It should be my God given right. I shouldn't have to go to a doctor for stress when I can go to another state and get herb."

He's in the early stages of his campaign, but plans to speak to city mayors and state legislators so others will jump on board.

"I really, truly believe in my heart that I'm going to walk again, and I believe cannabis is going to be the result of it."

He also admits to sermoning at churches while high.

"Most of the titles for my sermons were most effective after I used cannabis," he said.

"If you don't believe in what God created is good for us, how can you truly believe in God? Today's medicine kills and destroys you with side effects; however, this herbal plant, proven by the ADA, Health Board, gives us a chance of being healthy with longevity."

"This natural herb treats every symptom known to man, and I believe it is Gods natural medicine to man if we embrace and receive it with thanksgiving."

Pollard also said he hopes to educate Mississippians about cannabis, and that he is not encouraging anyone to participate in consuming marijuana illegally.
