Tamoxifen also presents a potential hazard in creating uterine cancer and can only be used pre-menopausal. I know because my now 10+year cancer free wife had to switch to aristamine (sp?) at one point when they thought she’d gone post-men and had to have 2-3 procedures to confirm no in-utero issues a few years after her treatment.
But it does work. Just gotta stay on your toes. Wonder if they have any noted side effects on this one yet?

Hemp is quite legal. It’s grown for fibre, and there are a lot of hemp products on the market.
Thanks for the ping.
This is astonishing and quite hopeful.

Hemp is cannabis and it is only legal to grow in CO and WA for fiber. Most hemp fiber used in the U.S. is from Canada and most hemp seed is from China and it is sterilized.
I wasn’t aware of that; I’m going from local knowledge. Some tobacco farmers here in Canada switched to hemp and their biggest problem was crop theft by idiots who thought it was marijuana. Many found it wasn’t worth it due to security costs. There are shops here in Toronto that specialize in hemp products.
Hemp is marijuana or maybe it’s more accurate to say that marijuana is hemp. It’s the same plant but it doesn’t have as high of a THC content when it’s grown for fiber or seed. The fiber and sterilized seed has been legal to import to the U.S. for a long time if not always. But thanks to Fed law it can’t be grown here for those completely benign uses.
Kind of ironic, considering that it was one of the crops that George Washington grew on his farm.
You can’t legally grow it in the US (except WA and CO).
It always great to hear these things. The article says it deals well in initial animal tests with tumors in 3 areas of the body...
He and virtually every other colonist who farmed. At one time the gov distributed one pound of seed to every landowner and required, yes, required, that they sow it all. It was a matter of national security. No hemp no sailcloth. No sailcloth no navy.
Yes, indeed, this is the kind of news that’s good to hear about. :-)
