Cannabis for Cancer (Non-Specific)

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.
