hey, just stumbled on a interesting article and I thought I would share this

Two of the major compounds in marijuana -- THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) and CBD (cannabidiol) have cancer-fighting properties, according to scientists researching them. But while the biological mechanisms THC uses are well documented, there are still mysteries surrounding the lesser-known CBD.

Clinical trials prove that CBD eases pain and inflammation, reports Dana M. Nichols at the Stockton Record. Sean McAllister, a scientist at California Pacific Medical Center Research Institute in San Francisco, has, along with his research associates, used CBD to shrink cancerous tumors.

Goodness! How many times do I have to say it?

Click the first link in my sig for all the MMJ studies you'll ever need!

After you have looked at it for a bit, scrape your jaw off the floor , and call Mom over and say "Mom, you gotta see this. Just read the titles!" It is rather hard to argue with hundreds of studies from PubMed and medical journals.

And if that is not enough for your Mom here is a brand new study

Science: Possible role of cannabis in spontaneous regression of
astrocytoma in two case reports

Scientists of the British Columbia Children's Hospital in Vancouver,
Canada, presented two cases of children with pilocytic astrocytoma,
who underwent surgery with incomplete removal of the tumour, leaving
behind a small residual in each case in the brain. In the first three
years after surgery, in one case there was no change in tumour size
and the other showed slight increase in size, followed by clear
regression (decrease in tumour mass) of both residual tumours over
the following 3-year period. Neither patient received any
conventional adjuvant treatment. Researchers noted that "the tumours
regressed over the same period of time that cannabis was consumed via
inhalation, raising the possibility that the cannabis played a role
in the tumor regression."

Pilocytic astrocytoma (PA) is a tumour of the brain that occurs more
often in children and young adults. These tumours are usually slow
growing but may become very large. They are considered as benign
tumours. Authors noted that "it has become increasingly recognized
that regression of PA residuals is not rare" and that "the cause of
regression may involve a combination of factors in any individual
case." They advise caution against further aggressive surgery for
small residual PAs, "even if there appears to be slight progression,
since regression may occur later. Further research may be appropriate
to elucidate the increasingly recognized effect of
cannabis/cannabinoids on gliomas."
