Theres no reason to think the "marijuana cure" had anything to do with the curing of the brain cancer. Is there any research being done into it that conclusively proves it does or what?
Yes, alot of people have studied it and they seem confident marijuana can certain forms of cure cancer, the big problem is getting funding and getting legal permission to have enough marijuana to do proper testing
Quote:The study concluded that via the same biochemical process THC could terminate multiple types of cancers, affecting various cells in the body. Other studies have shown that cannabinoids may work by various mechanisms, including inhibiting cell growth, inducing cell death, and inhibiting tumor metastasis.
What is amazing is that while cannabinoids effectively target and kill cancerous cells, they do not affect healthy, normal cells and may actually protect them against cellular death. Moreover, cannabinoids are also researched for their pain-modulation and anti-inflammatory abilities as they bind to special receptors in the brain, much like opioid derivatives that are commonly prescribed today.
