Cannabis Compound Said To "Halt Cancer"

h.ross.perot informs us of research out of the California Pacific Medical Center Research Institute suggesting that a compound found in cannabis may stop breast cancer from metastasizing. Cannabidiol, or CBD, could develop into a non-toxic alternative to chemotherapy some years down the road, if animal and human trials bear out its effectiveness. The article notes that smoking cannabis will not deliver significant quantities of CBD.

The problem is, I think, that the pharmaceutical industry stands to lose a ton if someone finds a good cure for cancer and is trying to hold it back for purely financial reasons.

Well, fuck 'em. Some things are more important than money. Human life is priceless.
