Antitumor Effects (http://www.cancer.gov/cancertopics/pdq/cam/cannabis/healthprofessional/page4#Section_26)


Cannabinoids may cause antitumor effects by various mechanisms, including induction of cell death, inhibition of cell growth, and inhibition of tumor angiogenesis and metastasis. Cannabinoids appear to kill tumor cells but do not affect their nontransformed counterparts and may even protect them from cell death. These compounds have been shown to induce apoptosis in glioma cells in culture and induce regression of glioma tumors in mice and rats. Cannabinoids protect normal glial cells of astroglial and oligodendroglial lineages from apoptosis mediated by the CB1 receptor.

HA, they weren't the first to make those claims nor were they the last... in fact, I think they would have been happy with any excuse... LOL, but in all seriousness there are differences in strains... the medicinal ones are NOT the ones commonly available in the USA...
