“Recent animal studies have shown that marijuana can kill certain cancer cells and reduce the size of others,” the NIDA report said. “Evidence from one animal study suggests that extracts from whole-plant marijuana can shrink one of the most serious types of brain tumours. Research in mice showed that these extracts, when used with radiation, increased the cancer-killing effects of the radiation.”
Of course, several US states allow the use of medicinal marijuana – and a few allow recreational use – but the federal government still bans marijuana use.
Writing in Molecular Cancer Therapies, one of the study’s lead authors, Dr Wai Liu said: “We’ve shown that cannabinoids could play a role in treating one of the most aggressive cancers in adults. The results are promising … it could provide a way of breaking through glioma and saving more lives.”

The Daily Caller said scientists are also conducting preclinical and clinical trials with marijuana and its extracts to treat numerous diseases and conditions, such as HIV/AIDS, multiple sclerosis (MS), Alzheimer’s disease, and inflammation. The report can be read here (pdf).
