Marijuana fights cancer. Is there anything this wonder drug can't do?
"The preclinical trial data is very strong, and there's no toxicity. There's really a lot of research to move ahead with and to get people excited," said Sean McAllister, who along with scientist Pierre Desprez, has been studying the active molecules in marijuana - called cannabinoids - as potent inhibitors of metastatic disease for the past decade.
Looks like the article is referencing California Pacific Medical Center (CPMC): Cannabidiol as a novel inhibitor of Id-1 gene expression in aggressive breast cancer cells.
