CBD is a major component of cannabis (marijuana) and has been found to have many positive effects on human physiology.

In this published study, in 2018 in Oncogene, when CBD was added to the other treatment in this mouse model of pancreatic cancer treatment, it was found that the survival rate was nearly a three-fold extension!
