Question: I heard that weed can cure cancer? is it true!!!?
is it even true or can it cure all cancer or some?

Answers:

You've heard wrong; there's no scientific proof at all that marijuana has any effect on cancer.

There has been a study that indicates that cannabinoids ( the active ingredients in marijuana) can help prevent prostate cancer.

There has also been research into the treatment of cancer. Complutense University in Madrid and the University hospital of Tenerife carried out research a few years ago into the use of chemical cannabinoids to help treat ONE type of brain tumour, glioblastoma multiforme.

There were some promising results, but the number of patients involved was very small (9), and much more research is needed.

There's no suggestion in any of this research that smoking or ingesting marijuana can either treat or prevent cancer; the research has been done using man-made chemicals that mimic the compounds found in cannabis, rather than unpurified marijuana.

There is some evidence that marijuana is a risk factor for testicular cancer.



It isn't true at all. If it were the weed industry would save the world.
However, here is what it does do. In chemo therapy people often
feel extremely nauseous. Weed helps alleviate that system. Additionally,
weed can help with some mild pain and anxiety issues. That is one
of the reason California legalized medical marijuana.



No it doesn't cure the cancer,per say. What it does is, alows a person going through kemo a chance to build up an appetite and helps them keep the food dowN. It is also good for helping to deal with the pain. After allmost ppl are on deaths door hope this helps



Some of the chemicals in it have been found to kill some types of cancer cells in petrie dishes.

No research has yet shown it to cure any cancer in humans.



If by "weed" you mean the Marijuana plant, no it cannot cure cancer. If by "weed" you mean the as yet to be discovered cure for cancer, then yes.



Only if you are a pot head, and you are trying to get your friends to smoke it, or a research group in the Netherlands.

This answers your question.



Weed has no cancer curative effect.
It is being taken by cancer patients to reduce pain intensity.

It doesn't cure cancer it just slows the process so you'll die slower from the cancer



No, but lots of cancer patients get it because it eases pain.
