"to cause cell death in neoplasm, perineuronal glioma cells,and high grade infiltrative astrocytoma"
Cannabis and the endocannabinoid system seem to have incredible potential to treat conditions that have been resistent to traditional treatments. Given the fact that cannabis has no toxic or overdose potential, it is one of the best medicines available. Which cannabinoids and terpenes are most beneficial? And in what ratios? And in what dose? And in what route of administration? These questions might be answered in the years to come. I think whole plant cannabis is far superior to any of the cannabinoids in isolation. Cannabis is an incredible teacher plant that will continue to show us how little we know about the processes of the body and how much more we have to learn. It would make sense to me that sunlight grown, organic (maybe bio-dynamic) cannabis that expresses a balanced ratio of cannabinoids, that is grown, harvested and processed with intention, love and care would provide the best medicine.

I concur w/ Dr. Andrew Vanderveer about the possible potential for cannabinoids as future anti-neoplastic agents. Recent literature searches I've performed recenlty show interesting action of both THC and CBD on diff. aspects of glial (neuron/ brain cell) growth , controlled cell death / apoptosis and formation of new vasculature/ blood vessels. However, I want patients to be very clear that this research is very PRELIMINARY. The Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Solomon has written about this issue; it would not be wise for a patient with an astrocytoma to eschew monitoring and treatment by standard chemo-therapeutic agents/ Surgery/ etc and instead go to RSO. I myself am NOT a fan of RSO, this article in the Skeptic's Dictionary gives a good explanation: http://skepdic.com/ricksimpson.html I hope this helps
