Maybe I should fire up the propagator. The tomatoes came out pretty well last year.

there was similar research with rheumatism. It had little traction because they couldn't get medical samples.

Many poisons & drugs become effective medicines.

Sounds promising. Might be a while before I can get it on the NHS.

There was an interesting article about blood pressure drug that improves the effects of chemo in sciam the other week as well.

Marijuana And Cancer: Scientists Find Cannabis Compound Stops Metastasis In Aggressive Cancers

"While marijuana advocates will surely praise the discovery, Desprez explained that it's not so easy as just lighting up.

"We used injections in the animal testing and are also testing pills," he said. "But you could never get enough Cannabidiol for it to be effective just from smoking."

Interesting stuff though.

Marijuana May Stop The Spread Of HIV, Study Finds

Article is about cannabis preventing the spread of aids. Not in the sense of entire communities of Africans being too stoned to ****, but once you've got it, it slows down it's progress.

But concludes with a bit about cancer research - might be worth digging out the sources

"Last year, an oncologist from the United Kingdom found that marijuana compounds can kill cancer cells in leukemia patients, and scientists at California Pacific Medical Center in San Francisco have conducted research that suggests those compounds can also effectively combat other forms of aggressive cancer."

No harm in giving it a try!
