Cannabinoids Inhibit Tumor Cell Growth - Article from 1976

[Gradient]

Article Published: 1976


This article suggests that cannabinoids are able to inhibit tumor growth, combining in vitro and in vivo studies with a focus on lung cells. The authors bring up the appropriate debate regarding potencies and the fact that some results have been more compelling than others. Cannabinoids were proven to have little to no effect on the expression and function of bone marrow cells, and therefore may present a diverse treatment pathway for various tumor-growth treatments.

Whether this translates to curable cancer with cannabinoid-derived treatments is debatable. Either way, this is an interesting read if one is concerned about the negative consequences associated with inhaling a dense smoke.
