100 Cancer Studies

The marijuana plant remains classified as a Schedule I drug in the United States despite the fact that many individuals have used cannabis as medicine, a multitude of veterans credit the herb with helping them ditch opioids and alleviate symptoms of PTSD, and the U.S. Cancer Institute lists cannabis on its website.

In fact, in most countries around the world, use of the herb and its components for medicinal and recreational purposes remains to be illegal. This continues, regardless of the fact that zero people die from using the herb each year. In contrast, 30,722 die from alcohol poisoning and 38,329 from abusing pharmaceuticals annually (2014 data).

Some activists, such as Rick Simpson, have suggested that the plant is still illegal in the U.S. on a Federal level because of its multitude of uses. A part of the plant known as hemp can be used for clothing, food, and industrial purposes, and components of the ‘flower’ known as components of the flower may inspire creativity, free-thinking and, of course, could contribute to recovery.

It is an injustice that individuals are refused access to the herb considering it is 100% natural and has been cultivated for thousands of years.

Additionally, at least 100 studies suggest that the plant could be part of the fight against one of the most frightening modern afflictions: cancer. As 1 in 2 women and 1 in 3 men are predicted to develop cancer in their lifetimes, it is past time for the herb to lose its stigma and Schedule I status so that citizens worldwide might benefit from its many properties.

Here are 100 government published studies suggest cannabis could be a natural addition to the fight against cancer:
