Researchers in Spain found out that THC, the active ingredient in marijuana, may help kill brain cancer cells. The awesome part about it is that they make the cells feed on themselves. I guess we aren’t the only ones who get the munchies when we smoke, good thing we don’t feed on ourselves though.

Guillermo Velasco and colleagues at Complutense University in Spain have found that the active ingredient in marijuana, THC, causes brain cancer cells to undergo a process called autophagy. Autophagy is the breakdown of a cell that occurs when the cell essentially self-digests.

The team discovered that cannabinoids such as THC had anticancer effects in mice with human brain cancer cells and people with brain tumors. When mice with the human brain cancer cells received the THC, the tumor growth shrank.

Two patients enrolled in a clinical trial received THC directly to the brain as an experimental treatment for recurrent glioblastoma multiforme, a highly aggressive brain tumor. Biopsies taken before and after treatment helped track their progress. After receiving the THC, there was evidence of increased autophagy activity.

It seems like everyday new evidence comes out that shows that not only is cannabis NOT a dangerous drug but it actually just might be the most awesome “drug” on the planet. I mean how many drugs do you know that will fight various cancers, help with PTSD, depression, autism, many other illnesses, AND gets you high with side effects that are minimal compared to prescription drugs.

Here are some cool pics of Ashley Logan and oh my god that ass. BIG shout outs to Dynasty Series for the pics.  Word around the internets is that she has herpes.  Not sure if it’s true or not but I know you can’t believe everything you hear, ESPECIALLY on the internet.  Just make sure you always wrap it up.

“Bong of the day” is where I feature a cool new smoking tool everyday. It is not always a bong though. It will include pipes, vaporizers, or whatever else you like to use as well as a link to where you can buy it (if it’s available). If you have a cool bong (including homemade bongs) that you would like to see featured here, email me at sportfiends@gmail.com or hit me up on twitter.

Shout outs to Everyone does it for this awesome hookah. Here is their description of it.

This Sleek Shisha stands an incredible 60cm tall and has a futuristic appeal to its design. Though people from all around the world have traditionally been smoking shisha bongs (hookahs) for hundreds of years, this Sleek Shisha brings the whole shisha experience in the 21st century.

The chrome middle-section sits atop a moulded glass base, and it has a wide platter at the top to collect any falling ash. The long pipe is designed to be smoked with ease and in comfort.

Pick up yours here.

My very first post for HMJ was about Indica Vs. Sativa and that gave me an idea about other Weed Vs. Weed things. Such as Bong Vs. Bowl, Brownies Vs. Cookies, or Smoking Alone Vs. Smoking With Your Buddies. So like Indica Vs. Sativa I will give a argument for each thing I pick (not any close to as big as Indica Vs. Sativa) and let you the viewers vote on it. Weed Vs. Weed Things is the spin-off of Indica Vs. Sativa like Frasier and Cheers. If you have any suggestions for this please let me know at: twitter.com/MaryJaneEmpire

Weed Vs. Weed Part 1

I asked and @TheElevatedOne answered with a great Weed Vs. Weed match up, Amsterdam Vs. Oaksterdam. While it may seem like Amsterdam would blow Oaksterdam out of the water, you might think about it a little different after this.

Amsterdam: Amsterdam, every potheads dream vacation. With High Time’s Cannabis Cup, Coffee Shops, and just vacationing in Europe makes it such an amazing trip. This is the ideal place for a weed lover, with Coffee Shops where you can purchase weed legally with no license. While many U.S places you cannot not smoke indoors, in Amsterdam you can light your joint right up after you buy it in the Coffee Shop. Everyone seems to think marijuana is 100% legal in Amsterdam, so think again. It is not legal to grow there or possess more than 30 grams at one time. You must be 18 or older and in a private area [home, coffee shop, ect.] Coffee Shops cannot advertise about their Cannabis, Oaksterdam can.

Oaksterdam: Around 7,000 miles away is the great state of Oaksterdam, California aka Oakland has been rumored to becoming the New Amsterdam. Well not entirely, Oaksterdam seems be moving in Amsterdam’s footsteps though. They still have a long way to go. While Marijuana is the decriminalized and the lowest priority for the Oakland police, it is still illegal with the Federal Gov’t. Amsterdam’s Coffee Shops are not getting shut down by their Gov’t, like the Federal Gov’t constantly shuttung down Medical Marijuana Shops. Unlike Amsterdam, only in Cali and Oaksterdam can advertise their weed, with glow signs of weed leafs and other weed things. From what I have seen from videos, Oaksterdam and Cali seem to have many more to get high instead of just smoking it. From cookies, cakes, and suckers you can get high in so many different ways. All of it sounds good, but you cannot do any of this without the Golden Ticket of the Marijuana license. Though living in that area, I am sure you reap a lot of benefits of the area.

Regardless how much I love California, I just can’t choose Oaskterdam on this one. It is still illegal there and the cops I’m sure will still make something out of nothing. Amsterdam is the ideal pothead vacation and will be until Cannabis becaomes legal in the states.

Sorry, there are no polls available at the moment.

This sounds like the kind of place that I need to be hanging out in for long periods of time. Shout outs to Danny Danko for this pic.

As you should know by now, America’s first cannabis cafe opened a couple of weeks ago and just like you I am excited as hell about it. I now have a reason to visit Portland, OR and maybe even move there. I never would have thought that would be a cool place to live but a $25 a month membership for all the pot you can smoke sounds like an awesome deal to me. Here is more coverage on the cafe. I want to go!

“Mary Jane Of The Moment” is a new feature where I will show you a new cute chick with weed every single day because who doesn’t love hot girls and weed? If you have a pic or you want to be featured here, email me at sportfiends@gmail.com or hit me up on twitter.

Teamwork is essential.

As everyone who reads this site regularly knows, I am a major advocate of smoking marijuana in large quantities. Moreso than that though, I think everyone should smoke responsibly. Although I love getting stoned and being around other stoners, there are certain people who probably shouldn’t be getting high. You don’t want your surgeon to show up to surgery stoned. You don’t want you pilot to be stoned. Everyone else is ok though, unless you are one of the people on this list who got stoned but probably shouldn’t have.

Nina is for all of you who love blonds

Hey everyone. I hope all of you had magnificent Thanksgiving weekends. I know I did. Smoked and drank in record amounts and I usually don’t even drink like that. I had a lot of fun though.

Anything else to report? Not sure but whatever. Mixtape is dropping this week. HMJ is now on a new server which will allow us to get forums soon. Watch out for that. Other than that keep supporting HMJ and we will keep supporting you and your awesome habit.
