Answer 1

it does marijuana can help with alot  

Answer 2

yes, it does!  i dont know why people want to keep this a secret

Answer 3

well doesn't radiation etc. kill cancer? If it kills cancer cells, probably not the best thing to put in your system.

Seems kind of far fetched. But.. whatever propaganda keeps you happy. I'm down for whatever.

Answer 4

Yes. But!! Not to smoke it or eat it or rub it on your self.

The oil from the plant, extracted in a special way really does have some anti-cancerous properties.

It is called the Rick Simpson hemp oil extraction and if you strictly follow the ways, there is a hope.

Answer 5

Yes, THC allows programmed cell death to be performed faster, so cancer can't start. That's why the 'carcinogens' in cannabis smoke don't cause cancer, cause you are also getting the THC. Tobacco causes cancer cause nicotine inhibits or stops programmed cell death allowing carcinogen's mutated cells to survive.

Answer 6

There is evidence that is causes cell death, mostly nerve cells (massively in the brain), and also causes a reduction in glucose uptake.

There is no evidence it causes cell death in the same way chemotherapy works. And absolutely no mechanism for it to be used as a cancer treatment yet.

Answer 7

According to soe people its a panacea and treats and cures absolubtly every thing known to man!

It may have the effect you are talking about but it is likely it would need to be administered in a certain way. It is unlikely rolling it up with Tobacco, setting it on fire and inhaling the fumes would have the desired effect so please don't use this as an excuse to use marijana.
