The article goes on to relate that a study showed THC and CBD were successful in treating glioblastoma . . . . That study, conducted by researchers at California Pacific Medical Center Research and the University of California-San Francisco, was conducted in a lab and not on humans. It revealed that the combination of THC and CBD is more effective at fighting cancer than either compound alone, a finding that suggests the marijuana plant’s ingredients and oils may work together to produce beneficial medical results. . . .

Many consider marijuana a wonder drug, and the list of ailments that scientists say it benefits is long.”
