Until further research is done to confirm that it can actually destroy cancer altogether we should not say it is a "cure for cancer". At the most we could state its possible THC may be used to create a preventative measure against it. Stating anything more is allowing optimism to cloud your judgement.
Considering how hospitals could save a fortune if this were ever established I doubt there isn't extensive research being done toward it and if its bares any fruits I sincerely doubt anyone would hesitate to report this if it were the case.
At no point in any post above did I say it was a cure for cancer. "Cancer" is made up of a myriad of diseases & there most likely won't be a magic bullet for "cancer" until we get really, really good at making nanoscale devices.
