Article: Cannabis extract shrinks brain tumours�| New Scientist

Cannabis extracts may shrink brain tumours and other cancers by blocking the growth of the blood vessels which feed them, suggests a new study.

An active component of the street drug has previously been shown to improve brain tumours in rats. But now Manuel Guzmán at Complutense University, Spain, and colleagues have demonstrated how the cannabis extracts block a key chemical needed for tumours to sprout blood vessels – a process called angiogenesis.

Ok, levanten la mano los que imaginaron a Manuel Guzmán en el laboratorio pasando el bong entre sus colegas.

Pero claro, como tienen batas blancas es "científico"....


hehehe
