Cannabinoids (any group of related compounds that include cannabinol and the active constituents of cannabis) activate cannabinoid receptors in the body
Awareness with regards to cannabis as a treatment and potential cure for cancer has been rapidly increasing over the past few years. Several studies over the last decade have clearly (without question) demonstrated the anti-tumoral effects of the plant. Cannabinoids (any group of related compounds that include cannabinol and the active constituents of cannabis) activate cannabinoid receptors in the body. The human body itself produces compounds called endocannabinoids and they play a very important role in many processes within the body to help create a healthy environment.
Since radiation and chemotherapy are the only two approved treatments for cancer, it’s important to let people know that other options do exist. There’s nothing wrong with exploring these options and finding out more information about them so people can make the best possible choice for themselves. It’s always important to do your own research.

I’ll agree that it is a good alternate for pain management but most of the studies that point to evidence were done in a small number of cells lines. Tens of thousands of compounds, natural or synthetic, have passed in-vitro NCI panel screens only to have failed much later in animal and clinical studies. Although there may be a molecualr mechanisms which is intriguing the current methodology using a translational approach is showing much more promise.
