Many studies have shown that the components of cannabis (marijuana) can reduce the spread of, as well as kill cells from a variety of cancer lines, including breast, lung, prostate, skin, intestine, glioma, and more.
The goal of this study was to find out the effects of cannabis sativa extracts on colon cancer cells and polyps. In short, the concentrates from marijuana worked synergistically to kill colorectal cancer cells.
In whole plant medicine, synergism has also been referred to as the entourage effect. This is simply an acknowledgement that the components of a plant tend to compliment each other and work together when they remain together as they were created by nature.
Since medical marijuana is specifically the utilization of the whole plant as medicine, that’s good news for patients who have chosen marijuana as their medicine.
