They also apologised and edited their post.

A less forthright new member, or a prospective member reading this thread, might conclude that this is a closed community where all incomers are viewed with suspicion.

I think it's important to welcome new members and, if necessary, gently educate them in our ways. Give them a chance to settle in, as it were. Of course, if they don't appear to want to settle in after a reasonable probation period, then that's a different matter.

If every new user has to run the gauntlet before they're allowed in then we'll only get the most hardened of experienced internet users and frighten away the rest.

Sometimes it seems like there's a pack of attack dogs waiting to pounce on any newbie who makes a slight mistake. If we carry on like that then there'll only be the most aggressive members left.

That's why I say give everyone the benefit of the doubt. Even if you suspect their motives, please assume that any initial bad impressions are a mistake and be nice anyway.

Thanks
Lem

I am unable to post this in the Success Stories for whatever reason, so I posted here. I was diagnosed with prostate cancer on October 18, 2013. I was advised by my doctor that my only options were to have radiation seeds implanted in my prostate or receive regular external beam radiation. I declined. I knew there had to be other options.
I scoured the Internet and discovered a wealth of information about cannabis oil curing cancer. I was able to obtain some medical marijuana from Rick Simpson (Cannabis Oil Cure) from it and consumed the recommended dosage by mid-January.
On January 26th I had a cancer reassessment which consisted of an MRI with a state of the art Tesla 3 MRI machine. Results - NO SIGN OF CANCER! CANCER FREE!
One of the things that helped me while going through all this was reading the testimonials and the success stories of those who have used the oil and were cured and with good food diet. Now that this wonderful oil has cured me, I feel I need to let others know as well. Please feel free to contact me, ask anything should you like more information or directly contact Rick Simpson at: cannabis_oil_cure@outlook.com were i purchased from. Thank you, Keeshia Mariz ~

Fantastic! Great to hear that you're clear and that the oil is what did it.
What stage cancer were you diagnosed with when you started taking the oil?
How did the doctors respond, I'm sure they asked you, or you told them anyway?
I hope you post your story in as many places as possible, not just cannabis forums where most people will already be aware, so that more and more people will hear about the possible benefits.
I'm sure that oil and possibly other forms of cannabis can help in some circumstances, but I guess, as with any other treatment, that it doesn't always work, although I believe that it almost always relieves some of the symptoms.
Stay healthy!
