Cannabis could help fight breast cancer

See what happens when people get funding to work with cannabinoids?

A compound found in cannabis may prevent breast cancer spreading to other parts of the body, scientists believe.

Experts hope that cannabidiol, also known as CBD, could be a realistic alternative to chemotherapy.

...

CBD fights the disease by stopping the activity of a gene called Id-1, which is believed to be responsible for the spread of cancer cells from the site of the original tumour - a process known as metastasis.

The study found CBD had this affect on breast cancer cells in a laboratory.
