Spain. Marijuana Therapy May Shrink Tumours

(CNS) The active ingredient in marijuana appears to reduce tumour
growth, according to a Spanish study published on Wednesday.

The researchers showed giving THC to mice with cancer decreased
tumour growth and killed cells off in a process called autophagy.

"Our findings support that safe, therapeutically efficacious doses of
THC may be reached in cancer patients," Complutense University in
Madrid reported in the Journal of Clinical Investigation.
