Cancer slowed by ... marijuana?
Want some relief from that cancer pain? THC, the hallucinogenic compound in marijuana, may just be your ticket. Now, you've probably heard the term "medical marijuana" before. This is different, though.It's been found that THC and another compound derived from marijuana can actually slow the spread of cervical and lung cancers. The tests that supported this were done in test tubes, however.
Do cannabinoids -- or chemical compounds derived from marijuana -- really have anti-cancer effects? They sure could -- in a direct way (read: not by smoking the leaves).
