More on Cannabis cures cancer.....

[cali]

26. It's a fact. And I'm offended by snake oil claims that purport to cure cancer

I don't need to be an expert. All anyone needs is a minimum of knowledge about the scientific method and a willingness to do some research. You will readily find that no one who's conducted the limited studies on treating cancer with cannabis, claims to have found a cure for it. And anyone who lies about those studies (and only one has been done with humans) and claims they demonstrate that its a cure for cancer, is contemptible.

There have been some studies that demonstrate that cannabinoids may have an inhibiting effect on the growth of tumors in mice and rats, though what that mechanism is, has not been established.

I'm gobsmacked by the anti-science mind frame. The only way to find out how to most effectively employ cannabinoids in the treatment of cancers is through studies and clinical trials. And by the way, I'm not saying that first person account testimonials can't be of some use, just that neither they or people lying about studies that have been conducted, are evidence for a cure.
