Cannabis and cancer

I'm looking for information regarding how cannabis is able to control, and perhaps send cancer into remission.

Any evidence available...especially as to what to order and frequency/dosages....

Cannabis alone cannot control or cure cancer. There were several claims online that marijuana oil or the hemp oil can cure chronic diseases such as cancer, diabetes, and others, but there is no solid research and study to support these claims. Although the THC content can relieve chronic pain from those mentioned diseases, it is very risky to solely depend on this medical herb to treat cancer and other diseases.

Proving that cannabis is a medical herb is very challenging because this plant contains several compounds which have different reactions on the body. For example, the THC can be used to relieve chronic pain, but at the same time, there are studies that show that this content causes anxiety and depression to the user.

That depends on what you call solid proof. Since we cannot look for the us government to approve said proof it needs to be defined what is proof. I would start with the patents on cannabinoids and cancer G.W. Pharmaceutical has quite a few. I have seen more in the last 3 years than in the 50 before it. If you would like studies NIH PUB MED is full of them I will post a link to them and a small list of patent and patent applications. The patents are for way more then cancer but metastatic cancer, breast cancer, GBM brain cancer are all listed. The thing people have a hard time understanding is cannabis is a vegetable and a medication. When you got to the store and get vegetables or get a prescription from your doctor do you come home and smoke it? Getting high from cannabis is the side effect! When you juice raw cannabis or eat raw cannabis" raw is not dried" the high is way less. The body cannot convert the THCA to THC not enough heat for decarboxylation. From what G.W. Pharma patent says it take cannabis 2 hours at 200 degrees for that to happen when they manufacture cannabis oil. It takes 2 ounces of cannabis oil consumed over a 3 month to cure most cancer. There are more studies that indicate that THC kills cancer cells through apoptosis then its counterpart THCA. I myself go with what Raphael Mechoulam the godfather said" a whole plant extract with all cannabinoids present works the best"
