    Study: CBD Triggers Cancer Cell Death and Suppresses Melanoma Spread Through Epigenetic Pathway

    A study published Sunday by the journal Phytomedicine reports that the cannabis compound cannabidiol (CBD) demonstrated strong anti-tumor activity against melanoma by activating an epigenetic pathway that promotes cancer cell death and limits metastasis. The research was conducted by scientists from Kunming Medical University and the National University of Defense Technology. Melanoma remains one of … Continue reading

          Hard to proof that one.

          There are no legal treatments that a doctor can provide for cancer that employ cannabis, with the exception of counteracting the side effects of chemo.

          Any example of a non doctor “healing” cancer with cannabis are going to be anecdotal or questionable at best.

          This is however not the first time science has linked cannabis to potentially help with some forms of cancer. But that its some is a very important detail.
          Last i checked, lung cancer cannot be treated by smoking weed for example.

            Science really flip flops around cannabis. I feel like every other article about it is like "cannabis linked to bad health", "cannabis linked to lowering bad thing".

            Now it's possibly helping cure cancer? I'm spinning.

              Will this be enough to move CBD from “alternative medicine” to just “medicine”?

                  No, it is a pre clinical finding of a study where CBD was added to cancer cells in vitro. It's a finding which might justify more research into the effectiveness of CBD as a treatment.

                    There are a lot of people invested in trying to make their drug of choice 'safe', while others are invested in making it 'unsafe'. Thus a lot of studies are done and any result that fits a narrative is amplified by those who care. meanwhile real science is mostly lost in thd noise. I take all studeis with evtra salt.

                      Same. I'm starting to feel like the older I get the more aware I become of how difficult it is to trust that people's actions and thinking are or will be correct.
