Possible breakthrough cancer treatment with marijuana

A medical discovery announced earlier this week suggests the likelihood that marijuana promises the next step in cancer treatment. With the combined 20 years research by two scientists at the California Pacific Medical Center in San Francisco, Pierre Desprez and Sean McAllister are highly optimistic about their discovery, and for good reason: "a non-toxic, non-psychoactive chemical compound found in the cannabis plant" stops the spread of cancerous cells and also turns them back normal.

With research into both ID-1 (the cancer-spreading gene) and Cannabidiol (the found chemical compound) conducted and then shared between both scientists, the possible medical application was discovered.

To date their research has gone through both laboratory and animal testing, but awaits approval for human subject clinical trials.

Both researchers reiterate these possible cancer-curing benefits are not gained through smoking, but require a more pharmaceutics-based approach.
