Cannabis for Cancer (Non-Specific)

calendar-icon

Last updated on Oct 7, 2024

Cancer affects millions of people, is nondiscriminatory regarding age or sex and can attack every organ system in the body. The history of medical cannabis ‘re-legalization’, especially in the latter half of the 20th century can be traced to a search for treatments for cancer, glaucoma, epilepsy and AIDS/HIV.

Cannabinoids may target cancer cells specifically, with the correct ratios instructing cancer cells to shut down. Cannabinoids are also useful for treating the side-effects of cancer and chemotherapy, such as chronic pain, insomnia, appetite loss, nausea/vomiting and headaches or migraines.
