How cannabis works

Cannabis does not actually cure anything. It treats pain and inflammation, which are obstructing the body from healing itself. Your body is a miraculous machine if considered in purely physical terms. Every single cell of your body is alive and growing, if it is not killed for some reason or due to some toxin. If you have no untreated genetic defect that causes you to slowly poison yourself, your body is continually replenishing itself and growing.

What we eat can poison us. What we take as medicine, which treats one condition but hurts us in other ways, can be deadly over time. Our body over time builds up inflammation due to the various toxins we have ingested. Our body knows how to heal itself if it has the tools, if the poison can be removed, and the inflammation reduced.

We do not stop growing when we reach an arbitrary age. We stop growing when our body is too tired of fighting all the time against its own breakdown due to pain and inflammation.

Of course then our bodies sometimes continue to try to grow, but without the ability to control that growth properly. This is cancer, and this will kill you eventually, unless your body learns to grow properly again. Reducing inflammation and pain with cannabis may help, depending on how advanced the cancer has grown and whether there is time to stop it. It cannot hurt cancer patients to use cannabis, it can only help them.

Cannabis has been called the fountain of youth, because it does allow your body to become young again. Some damage may be unavoidable, and death may be inevitable, but there need not be a complete decay until then.
