  2 0 "cancer" in general, no. Prevention? Perhaps. But, no, there's no hard unarguable evidence yet. Treatment: yes! but.. only Specific cancers. There's growing evidence that brain tumors in particular are affected/shrunk by cannabinoids and THC. And of course the usual cancer treatment caveat applies: 'not all things work for all people'.

My stepfather smoked several times a day, and died of lung cancer at 57. Pot smoke is still smoke. Ace commented over 2 years ago | Report 0 0 Important notes: 1) current institutional THC/cannabinoid treatments tested are mainly intratumorial injections of THC - i.e. not smoked. 2) Brain cancer has a typical prognosis of TWO MONTHS, untreated - and only 10 months with Radiation & drugs. If a 40yo or even 50yo brain cancer warrior should be so lucky as to make it to 57, and die from lung cancer, the church would call it a miracle of the heavens. i.e. Lung cancer is very much the least of your worries if you have a Glioma or grade IV brain tumor. 3) virtual trials, that is, the various things that individuals try to combat brain cancer on their own and outside the institutional setting- ARE showing good signs that smoking pot does stabilize and in one case even shrink GBM tumors. I'd have to show you an MRI from UWMC to prove my point, but it's true.

  2 3 There's evidence it might: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/05/25/AR2006052501729.html Something about killing aging cells, and the healing properties of cannabinoids. In any event, research has demonstrated the huge safety edge pot smokers have over tobacco users and heavy drinkers. normstamper answered in 420: The Straight Dope About Pot over 2 years ago | Report Comment on this answer Enter your comment or ask a new question New comments are not being accepted at this time.
