I am not sure it is a cure I don't think so but a friend of mine has cancer and he has been put on it to ease the pain, a lot of people are advised to use to contro pain unofficially of course.

No, its not a cure for cancer. However, it helps with the nausea of chemotherapy or radiation therapy, and it does help to increase the appitite of cancer patients. It also has a mild sedative effect and is a very mild pain killer My son smokes pot when he gets ill with his as-yet undiagnosed disease that causes him to have abdominal pain and vomiting. it seems to help him a lot.
