Personally, I would not consider taking any cancer treatments currently in use by our medical system, I do not recommend that hemp oil be taken along with chemotherapy.
Health Benefits
In 1990, the cannabinoid receptor was first discovered in the human brain and by 1992 the entire endocannabinoid system had been uncovered. With this, science glimpsed the potential medicinal benefits of marijuana for the first time. Since then these potential medicinal uses have been well documented.
Therapeutic Potential
Cannabis-based medications have been a topic of intense study since the endogenous cannabinoid system was discovered two decades ago.
Granny Storm Crow’s List
Cannabis should be treated like any other medicinal herb, because that’s what it is, just an herbal medicine with a rather pleasant side effect- you feel “high”.
Sativex
Sativex is super strong, concentrated cannabis. Nothing more, nothing less.
GW Pharmaceuticals would have you believe that it’s a “pharmaceutical” product because according to its research that’s what patients prefer.
