National Cancer Institute released a new CBD & THC study last year.

Did the National Cancer Institute study Antitumor Effects in CBD & THC? Yes you read right, they actually did. This is a good study to show those that think cannabis and healing is something we “hippies” just have thought of to get it legalized. In fact there are so much info out there now, that it seems to be pretty clear!

“One study in mice and rats suggested that cannabinoids may have a protective effect against the development of certain types of tumors.During this 2-year study, groups of mice and rats were given various doses of THC by gavage. A dose-related decrease in the incidence of hepatic adenoma tumors and hepatocellular carcinoma was observed in the mice. Decreased incidences of benign tumors (polyps and adenomas) in other organs (mammary gland, uterus, pituitary, testis, and pancreas) were also noted in the rats. In another study, delta-9-THC, delta-8-THC, and cannabinol were found to inhibit the growth of Lewis lung adenocarcinoma cells in vitro and in vivo . In addition, other tumors have been shown to be sensitive to cannabinoid-induced growth inhibition.”
