A study published on April 15 in the Frontier magazine showed a significant find in the study and treatment of cancer. The study considered medical cannabis and its important role in the treatment of cancer. This is the largest analysis of medical cannabis analysis, making this study incredibly significant. Most importantly, this is insurmountable in how cannabis fights both fronts, not only in the management of pain, nausea and loss of appetite, but also playing the main role in slowing the disease itself.

What the study found
Ryan Castle, the lead author of the study, said The Guardian: “Our goal was to determine the scientific consensus on the theme of medical cannabis, the sphere in which the war between CherryPicked studies has long prevails.”
The researchers have undergone more than 10,000 studies and with the help of the II tools grouped research into a positive, neutral or negative view based on cannabis efficiency in cancer treatment.
The results showed that more than 75% of these studies showed positive results. Not only did this relieve the symptoms, but also showed the potential to stop the disease from spread. This is very important because cannabis may not be just relief of symptoms and can help fight the disease itself.
Consequences
However, initially the medical community was uncertain and skeptical of cannabis. Many still do not fully convince that cancer is directly treated. Oncologist Dr. Donald Abrams said: “When cannabis treats cancer, I have not seen it in real life.” Even if the medical cannabis was effective, it was not fully proven in clinical trials. This is especially because cannabis is still classified as a drug and that is, it is illegal, has a high risk of abuse and is regulated as “without medical use”. This makes it difficult to conduct large -scale research on humans.
But the research team tried to overcome this by analyzing more than 10,000 studies to determine any models. Even the castle and its team expected that only about 55% of the research positively supported cannabis, but they were surprised when found much more, about 75%, showing that cannabis was more effective than previously thought.
