I understand your passion, and your concern. But a lot of people are very sceptical of these claims. I'm not saying that they don't work but I'm also very concerned that if someone tried this over conventional, medically proven treatments and it didn't work for them it may be too late for other treatments. It's a very difficult decision for someone in that position to make. I opted for the conventional treatments which seem to be working for me, and I'm just grateful that I have a good team of doctors, and great support. It is good of you to care so much, and I am continuing to research this.

Oh, absolutely. If it's a time-sensitive case, then by all means. The decision is that much tougher. Knowing what I know now, I'd opt for the oil. It's brought people back from stage 4, weeks to live. But I understand the urgency when people who might be skeptical might not be sure. Throw the works at it. Traditional medicine, the oil, prayer, faith, candles and crystals. And I'm not being funny. Whatever works.
In time, there will be proper studies that prove it to the masses. Those can't be done now because the substance is illegal. And, as long as chemo rakes in billions for big pharma, it will probably stay that way.
There are some studies, though. One by the US government in 1974, intended to prove that pot causes cancer. OOPs. Proved that pot CURES cancer, and was quickly buried. Another study by Spain, and more that are coming out all the time.
It'll happen. In the meantime, folks gotta do what they gotta do.
What can it hurt to try? I'm not going to compare cancer with my Meniere's disease, obviously cancer is much more serious, but I will tell you a story about taking care of yourself.
No doctor, academic or corporate researcher cares as much about your health compared to how much you care about yourself.
When I came down with Meniere's disease nearly 10 years ago the generally accepted medical treatment was to be constantly taking diuretics, and treating occasional attacks with Valium. No thanks! The treatment was worse than the disease.
I found through lots of research and trial and error, that I could eliminate my Meniere's symptoms by:
1. Eliminating all aspartame/artificial sweeteners from my diet.
2. Strictly limiting caffeine intake.
3. Controlling sodium intake to reasonable levels.
4. Eating more dark berries.
NO recognized scientific studies support the effectiveness of these treatments for Meniere's, (excepting perhaps limiting sodium intake which can reduce your body's water retention). Doing just one of the above 4 was not working for me. Yet, in combination they work for me, and I have been Meniere's attack-free for years.
My point is to consider all options. Find out what works.

Give him a few more weeks, months maybe, and he'll be living WITHOUT a brain tumor.
What do you do with this oil...tablespoon a day? Mix it with something else? A shot-glass a day? Anyone use that Mango-not-mango juice? Some fruit grows in Southeast Asia and some place in South America...helps w/a number of...complaints...bone/muscle type stuff. How easy is it to get this cannabis oil? Seems like things are starting to shake...what w/the medical thingy, marijuana...but then, thought I heard (half-listening) on the news...had to do with...taxes was it? I dunno...maybe I blocked it out...for all the usual reasons.
The oil is so concentrated and potent that dosage starts with a piece of the oil smaller than a grain of rice 3 or 4 times daily. That's it. Increase as tolerated to a piece the size of a whole grain of rice 3 or 4 times daily. More if tolerated well, but not much. It goes by body weight. It takes very little oil to do a very big job.
Skin conditions like skin cancer, psoriasis, etc, are treated by applying the oil topically and covering with a bandage. In many cases, the problem is GONE in days.
But from what I read, you have to have a pound of pot to make enough oil in order to do a full round even starting with that small an amount. Where can people get that quantity of pot without risking some serious jail time and/or having to take out a loan to pay for it? Did I miss something in the instructions?
You can make a smaller batch. Here's a really great video about how to make a much smaller batch of the Rick Simpson (Cannabis) oil. And still get a good quantity of the medicine, since the dosage is so small. A little goes a long way.
This lady uses a double boiler, but I prefer to go ahead and use a crock pot, albeit a smaller one. Just seems safer to me. Either way works well.

I wonder if there are differences in the various...grades...of pot? Is some oil more potent than others?
That depends on the plant. They aren't created equally. Some plants have a higher cannabinoid content than others. And even then, it's not an exact science.
There are basically two types of pot plant, Sativa and Indica. Indica is what Rick Simpson likes to use because it's highly relaxing. Sativa tends to be more invigorating, and somebody recovering from serious illness doesn't need to be up, running around. They need rest. He reccomends Sativa more for conditions like depression.
Both will take care of cancer and serious illnesses equally. It's just the relax/invigorate effect that makes the difference. A LOT of medicine growers/makers like to use a Sativa/Indica hybrid, for the best of both worlds.
If you're buying the plant material from somebody else, whoever's selling it probably won't be able to tell you if it's Indica or Sativa, or what the THC content is. That's a crap shoot. Still worth doing, though, if that's all you've got, because it's going to have SOME medicine in it, no matter what.
But if you're looking to grow your own, it's pretty easy to find out what you're getting. Just check the website you're buying your seeds from, and only buy from one that can tell you not only what the plant is (Indica or Sativa) but also what the THC/cannabinoid content is. It's often expressed as a percentage. 20%, for example, is pretty darned good. 25% is better. There are plants that grow well indoors, others grow well outdoors, and plants can range from a foot tall that you can grow anywhere, to 7-10 foot tall towering plants. And there are plants that mature in 6-12 weeks, so somebody waiting for medicine doesn't have to wait forever.
I just Googled "Buy Indica" and the very first site that popped up in search has all that information, and pretty reasonable prices. And they ship everywhere.
As for growing, some people will tell you that you need an expensive gardening light assembly, but that's rubbish. You can get a 20 dollar bulb from Walmart, as long as you make sure it's a full spectrum light. Use a good, rich, ph balanced soil, and you should be good.
Then, when it buds, harvest the bud and make the oil.
It's a lot of information, but it's easy to follow. Plus, I'm usually around to answer any questions anybody has.

This brave little girl named MyKayla has been battling intermediate risk T-Cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia that had metastasized to her brain and spinal fluid with the oil. She has really become a young face for the cure. You can read about her battles and hear for herself just how far she's really come using Rick Simpson (cannabis) oil to battle her disease. See how her lymphoblasts went from 51% to 0% using Rick Simpson (cannabis) oil. She's in complete remission.
Here's an interview:

To be clear, Mykayla's parents did opt for Chemo as well, which accounts for her hair loss. But Cannabis oil is credited for not only treating her symptoms, but for keeping her off chemo, as well as those other medications for pain, nausea, etc.
Spain study confirms Cannabis oil kills cancer.
The medical science is strongly in favor of THC laden hemp oil as a primary cancer therapy, not just in a supportive role to control the side effects of chemotherapy.
The International Medical Verities Association is putting hemp oil on its cancer protocol.
Rick Simpson has been making hemp oil and sharing it with friends and neighbors without charging for it. In small doses, he says, it makes you well without getting you high. “Well you can’t deny your own eyes can you?” Simpson asks. “Here’s someone dying of cancer and they’re not dying anymore. I don’t care if the medicine comes from a tomato plant, potato plant or a hemp plant, if the medicine is safe and helps and works, why not use it?” he asks.
When a person has cancer and is dying this question reaches a critical point. The bravery of Rick Simpson from Canada in showing us how to make hemp oil for ourselves offers many people a hope that should be increasingly appreciated as money dries up for expensive cancer treatments. We are going to need inexpensive medicines in the future and there is nothing better than the ones we can make reasonably cheaply ourselves.
For most people in the world it is illegal so the choice could come down to breaking the law or dying.

I carry on about Cannabis oil curing cancer, but it also treats many other conditions as well.
This little girl, Charlotte, suffered from literally debilitating seizures until her brave parents started treating her with cannabis.

This is my main argument for legalization. There are so many positive effects, but until it is legal, how can they do research to confirm that? I mean, morphine is in use, why not cannabis?
Thank you for this thread, Lepplady.
Because the drug companies, and the government, benefit financially from morphine. They prefer that over a plant that people can grow out of the ground for free. It's such a pity that the bottom dollar is more important that millions of people's lives.This is my main argument for legalization.

Happy to help.
Uruguay legalized it a month ago, and right away, UN started complaining, saying the legalization is illegal...Because the drug companies, and the government, benefit financially from morphine.

Happy to help.
But, I am quite confident that there will be positive changes in the years to come.
The ATF and some other feds raided some guy here in the U.P. this past week or so. There might be a story about it online...Daily Mining Gazette/Houghton, Michigan...titled "Feds raid marijuana dispensary". Something about 'owner could face gun charges". The story only says so much...
But that's our war on some drugs. Oh, and if a gun happens to be on the premises, they call out the armored tank...just like renting a car yada yada. They had this guy in cuffs for seven hours and a whole...what?...25 or more "officers" on site...he thought more. They had to have been bumping into each other. Job security.
Anyway, this business was a "medical marijuana dispensary" and the owner thought someone could take over the business w/o too many hoops to jump through. Yeah, right. There is one other in the local area.
What is legal to do with this stuff? The raid here was conducted "based on tips"...read that how you want, but I have my suspicions. No clue what the true story would be.

I think so too. States legalizing is a good start. It reflects that people are getting information and demanding change.
But that's the thing. As long as it's only legal at the state level, the feds can still swoop in and launch raids like that. So it's not really legal at all. Federal prohibition needs to be repealed.
All I can do is keep offering information and hope that one day, enough people will demand that change.
I'm just bummed because someone I know right here in the real world has a brain tumor but won't hear a word about this oil. I know that all I can do is offer information and people will make up their own minds. I just wish there were more I could do than watch my friend slowly die. It's frustrating and heartbreaking. I hope he changes his mind.
