Further, it was emphasized that the smoking of marijuana is not connected to preventing or fighting cancer in the wake of these studies. CBD has been bred out of much of marijuana in favor of higher levels of THC, which drives the high provided from smoking.

Despite strong results so far, the doctors know they still have a long road ahead of them by way of human clinical trials, but are hopeful following a long string of positive results so far.

Don't tell the Government or big pharma will have them close ya down. Cancer is not for curing, it's for making money.

Yet we have people locked up, in their thousands for mere possesion of small amounts of Marajuana. It's terrible when the legal system is so blatantly biased.
