The endocannabinoid system is the powerful and important regulating and balancing system in the body that responds to the components in cannabis (marijuana). Anything that stimulates the cannabinoid (CB1 & CB2) receptors of this system will influence it’s function. Like many cancers, prostate cancer cells have a greater number of cannabinoid receptors, and stimulating them […]
Cannabinoids from marijuana (cannabis) are known to induce cell death of prostate cancer cells by stimulating cannabinoid receptors. The most common cannabinoid is THC, but this study from 2012 evaluated the effect of cannabidiol (CBD) on prostate cancer. In short, CBD significantly inhibited the ability of prostate cancer cells to live. Their findings were so […]
In order for prostate cancer to exist, it is necessary that the male sex hormone receptors are activated, at least in the beginning stages of the illness. Interfering with the activation of these receptors is one method which is utilized to control the malignancy. This abstract from Endocrinology in 1980 shows that the researchers found […]
The human body has many complex tasks which it performs in order to maintain health, wellness and resist disease. One of these involves using little capsules to send off pieces of genetic material and communicate with other cells and regions of the body, much like sending a little space probe out on a mission.

Cannabidiol (CBD) is one of the more well known components of the marijuana plant. This abstract points out that CBD derived from cannabis sativa has anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant properties, and displays anti-proliferative activities. Cancer cells use a communication system which can be targeted to interfere with proliferation. The study from frontiers in Pharmacology, show the […]
