“More recently, scientists reported that THC and other cannabinoids such as CBD slow growth and/or cause death in certain types of cancer cells growing in lab dishes. Some animal studies also suggest certain cannabinoids may slow growth and reduce spread of some forms of cancer.”
And, according to the American Cancer Society, marijuana show promise in the direct treatment of cancer.
So, perhaps, you owe the T-Bone an apology.
Do you understand what chemo-therapy for cancer generally is? The majority of the time it means taking a poison that is more harmful to cancer cells because healthy cells can regenerate themselves better and more quickly. It does not mean that the poison is good for you other in this perverse sense. This is the same reason why taking arsenic and mercury was accepted medical practice for venereal disease before antibiotics became available.
And most of the time the goal of those who argue for legalization is to confuse the issues. In my experience since marijuana was “legalized” here four years ago the problems related to marijuana use in the general population have gotten much worse.
