RE: There Are Now 100 Scientific Studies Proving Cannabis Cures Cancer

in #cannabis6 years ago

Like many of the links above. Scientists don't prove but rather seek to find significant supporting evidence for the therapeutic properties of cannabis and cannabinoids.

I would like to see abstracts from phase I/II clincial trails before getting hyped up. A lot of bench science can get published with little to no financial follow-up to allow for larger trials to recreate initial findings.

A lot of the above links may be case studies of animal or in vitro experiments. Which is great but is NOT in humans which takes a lot of funding and time.

I'm all for the advancement of this research but it looks to be a ways from clinical trials in humans and then marketing for the masses.

Just want people to be cautiously optimistic about these types of abstracts and posts.

Sort:  

Agreed, its easy to get excited about the potential that MJ can cure cancer but without more specifics on what cancers and in what human populations groups, its still way too soon to get overly excited. More research definitely is needed, and soon!!! with the rapidly moving legalization across the US in particular.

Thanks for some sober thoughts here, @massmedicinals!

Lol thanks for the support.

After posting I thought I was going to get hit with a ton of negative commentary.

Cheers!
