he US. Food and Drug Administration has not approved Cannabis as a treatment for cancer or any other medical condition, although chemical components of Cannabis, called cannabinoids, activate specific receptors found throughout the body to produce pharmacological effects, particularly in the central nervous system and the immune system. Potential benefits of medicinal Cannabis for people living with cancer include antiemetic effects, appetite stimulation, pain relief, and improved sleep
Commercially available cannabinoids, such as dronabinol and nabilone, are approved for the treatment of cancer related side effects.
Cannabinoids may cause anti-tumor effects by various mechanisms, including induction of cell death, inhibition of cell growth, and inhibition of tumor angiogenesis invasion and metastasis.
Cannabinoids appear to kill cancer cells while protecting normal cells from cell death
