FANTASTIC NEWS! Marijuana May Stop Spread Of HIV - New
Study
It is not a secret that marijuana has long been used to
effectively treat symptoms associated with HIV, such as
chronic pain and weight loss, but a new research suggests
the plant may be able to stop the spread of the disease itself.
These findings are being confirmed by the Louisiana
State University study recently published in the
journal AIDS Research and Human Retroviruses.
Within the period of seventeen months scientists
were administering a daily dose of THC, an active
ingredient in cannabis, to monkeys infected with
an animal form of the virus.
As a result, damage to immune tissue in the
primates' stomachs, one of the most common
areas in the body for HIV infection to spread,
decreased.
Dr. Patricia Molina, the study's lead author
wrote that the mentioned findings reveal
completely new mechanisms, which may potentially
contribute to cannabinoid-mediated disease
modulation.
It has been explained in the report that while HIV
spreads by infecting and killing off immune cells,
the monkeys that received the daily THC
treatments maintained higher levels of healthy
cells.
Similar research spearheaded by Molina in 2011
found that infected monkeys treated with THC
had a better chance of surviving. And a report
published in 2012 pointed to evidence that
marijuana-like compounds can fight HIV in late-
stage AIDS patients.
Last year, an oncologist from the United Kingdom
found that marijuana compounds can kill cancer
cells in leukemia patients, and scientists at
California Pacific Medical Center in San Francisco
have conducted research that suggests those
compounds can also effectively combat other
forms of aggressive cancer.

SSS Director Drags Wife To Court For Damaging Girlfriend’s Car
Mr Edward Magaji, a deputy director of the State Security Service (SSS) in Oyo state is said to have taken his wife to court for damaging his girlfriend's car.
Mr Edward filed the complaint against his wife, whom he has four children at a Yola Chief Magistrates' Court, in Adamawa.
Presenting oral evidence, the SSS director accused his wife of violence. He told the court how his wife had been troublesome since he bought a car for his girlfriend Miss Natasha Aminu Danbaba, a nurse with Specialist Hospital, Yola, terrorising her and even fighting her at her place of work.
He said while he was at Natasha's house, his wife came and started a fight and in the process the windscreen of his girlfriend's car was broken.
When asked to define his relationship with Natasha by Barrister Binanu Eston, counsel to the wife, he said he couldn't answer the question as he was tired of his wife and had since divorced her because of her troubles.
Presiding over the case, Magistrate Abubakar Bako adjourned the case to Monday, February 17, for further hearing.
