Cancer: THC and CBD Dosing for Cancer Patients
THC and CBD Dosage for Cancer Patients
Cannabis has many therapeutic effects. The cannabinoids it contains, primarily THC and CBD, can help patients suffering from various types of cancer, as confirmed by scientific studies. Both the plant and its preparations can alleviate cancer-related symptoms such as pain, nausea, and inflammation. Some studies have even shown that specific cannabis compounds can slow cancer growth and reduce tumors.
Marijuana also has a positive impact on patient mood. It helps calm and manage negative emotions associated with illness or medication, and can reduce side effects of chemotherapy and radiotherapy.

The very first study proving cannabis has anti-cancer effects was actually intended to demonstrate the plant's dangers, especially regarding immune system damage. A study funded by the American Cancer Society grant, published in 1974 in The Journal of the National Cancer Institute, showed that tumors surgically implanted in mice and treated with THC for 20 consecutive days shrank.
