In a report by Paul Armentano, Senior Policy Analyst at the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws (NORML), cannabinoids can give hope to those with certain cancers. This information first surfaced in 1974, yet it was barely mentioned in the media.
In an August 18, 1974 article by the Washington Post:
“[THC] slowed the growth of lung cancers, breast cancers and a virus-induced leukemia in laboratory mice, and prolonged their lives by as much as 36 percent.”
During this time, Nixon and the Watergate scandal dominated the headlines, and this could, in part, account for the lack of publicity as most other stories were kept on the sidelines.
However, a later report published on September 3, 1975 by the Journal of the National Cancer Institute received little attention as well. This study indicated that Delta 9 THC, Delta 8 THC, and cannabinol (CBN) can impede the growth of certain tumors in the lung:
“Animals treated for 10 consecutive days with delta-9-THC, beginning the day after tumor implantation, demonstrated a dose-dependent action of retarded tumor growth. Mice treated for 20 consecutive days with delta-8-THC and CBN had reduced primary tumor size.”
It has been found that as certain strains of THC are capable of killing cancer cells, they leave other cells normal and healthy, unlike chemotherapy. Featured below are three videos that show how the THC molecule binds to cells while killing the cancerous ones.

I Swear they used pot for medicine for cancer patients before anyway…
Yes, they did, but mostly just smokin it to kill the pain.
Proof that cannabis is a miracle cure that solves a majority of ailments. Would seriously explain why it’s been made illegal. It’s nonprofitable.
This is only proof that cannabinoids kill cancer cells in a petri dish. Which is good. But nothing close to a “miracle cure” that solve the “majority of ailments”. You need to chill.
No your wrong it killed it in mice already and they are about to start human testing
How is it non profitable?? How the fuck do all the weed dealers survive. You fucking moronic twat!
Also Cannabis has been used medically for thousands of years!!
I hope it works
Oh it works, it’s just the big Pharma companies have been making so much money off so called research. And the fact the canabis cost next to nothing to make and that it will substitute many pills. Just think how much the Pharma industry is set to lose with the general public being aware that this is actually works. There ain’t no putting the genie back in the bottle now…….
Funny thing is that Pharma will not loose a cent.. they will , and they are providing already pills or any other form of drug made by cannabis , or synthetic cannabis ..and though the source substance maybe cheap their drugs definitely will not be…
so one way or another they will have their profit.. ..at least this is how weed will be decriminalized ..hopefully ..
Yes it works.I had skin cancer and Rick Simpson Oil took it away in 3 days.
Can u tell me more about this I to have shin cancer n it’s getting worse thank u
