    I've seen all these studies about how a compound in weed could ultimately be the cure for cancer and how weed might be able to cure cancer and all that. But if this is true than how did Bob Marley die of cancer? I mean he was like one of the biggest stoners ever.

    well, the studies you are referring to are the ones that show that THC can inhibit the growth of aging cells which can become tumors in the lungs and brain. bob stepped on a rusty nail, and the cancer spread from his toe to the rest of his body. THC doesn't prevent cancer anywhere besides the lungs and brain, presumably.

    He didnt die of cancer. He died of gang green. he got it in his foot and because of his rastafarian beliefs that the body must be kept whole. He refused to get in amputated thats what killed him not cancer

    You're all wrong.. bob marley died from a cancerous brain tumor that was from the result of a soccer injury to his toe... the toe became seriously infected and because of Rastafarian-ism he neglected to have his toe amputated.. the disease spread and caused the tumor

    no.. he died because of his beliefs.. but on a side note.. i've read studies of doctors saying Robert lived a lot longer than expected and they believe it was because of his daily use of marijuana.. the marijuana likely inhibited the growth of the tumor but over time the cancer just drained him and he passed

    Because smoking weed doesn't cure cancer?
