    There is NO evidence that shows cannabis will kill cancer cells. It CAN help with side effects like pain, nausea, loss of appetite, etc. Until it becomes federally legal, there can be no actual clinical trials to test the theory that cannabis cures cancer. My family is always trying to push me toward it. I smoked a lot of pot back in the day… but I ended up with cancer.. I don't feel like trying something that has no proof other than anecdotal stories on the internet. The internet also says ginger, coffee, green tea, and a host of other natural things will cure cancer… and anyone with half a brain knows that's all bogus!
