Exocannabinoid treatment of cancers

Internet is rife with stories about winning the battle against cancer with the help of exocannabinoids.

What does the science say?

4 points how cannabis works against cancer compiled by herb.co

  1. Anti-proliferative - cannabis is against tumor growth
  2. Anti-metastatic - cannabis is against cancer spreading to other parts in the body because of metastatic activity
  3. Anti-angiogenetic - cannabis is against new blood vein growth to tumor
  4. Apoptotic - cannabis causes cancer cells to programmedly kill themselves (apoptosis). Cannabinoids are however harmless to healthy cannabinoid receptor containing cells.

Additionally anecdotally true are

  1. Cannabis works very well against the somatic and nonsomatic pains brought on by cancer
  2. Cannabis can help maintain a good appetite, chemo or no chemo.
