Marijuana can cure cancer, scientists say

lots of science "mumbo-jumbo" in there, so unless you know you're shit, its gonna be hard to understand, lol. (I don't know my shit)

i skimmed through it, and found a paragraph that sums it up quite nicely

"We next investigated whether activation of ER stress is involved in the induction of autophagy in response to cannabinoid treatment of cancer cells. We have previously shown that THC-induced accumulation of de novo–synthesized ceramide, an event that occurs in the ER, leads to upregulation of the stress-regulated protein p8 and its ER stress–related downstream targets, ATF4, CHOP, and TRB3, to induce cancer cell death "



Amazing what one plant can do.
