Is there anything it won't cure? Cannabis Compound May Stop Metastatic Breast Cancer:
The compound found in cannabis, called cannabidiol (CBD), inhibits a gene, Id-1, that researchers believe is responsible for the metastatic process that spreads cells from the original tumor throughout the body.
Opting for a musical metaphor, senior researcher Pierre-Yves Desprez likened Id-1 to "an [orchestra] conductor. In this case, you shoot the conductor, and the whole orchestra is going to stop. If you shoot the violinist, the orchestra just continues to play."
But, man, like in a jam band, if you shoot the drummer the band will keep going, cuz you can't stop the music, man.
