CANCER: COLORECTAL & Cannabis studies completed
Overview
Most colorectal cancers start in cells that line the inside of the colon or the rectum. Cannabis has a unique ability to fight many forms of cancer, including colon cancer.
Eating a diet high in fiber may help prevent colorectal cancer and other common digestive system cancers, including stomach, mouth, and pharynx. Fiber is found in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. In general, the more natural and unprocessed the food, the higher it is in fiber.

Medical Marijuana:
This is a useful
agent for treating nausea, appetite loss,
pain and insomnia that can occur as side effects of chemotherapy or
cancer
itself. Beyond that, some components
of cannabis may have significant anti-cancer effects.
