Do you believe that canabis oil treats cancer?

Unfortunately not.

Cancer is a collective term for approximately 200 different diseases. Every cell type in your body can (in principle) develop into its own type of cancer. On top of that individual cancer cells in every cancer are also different from one another. On top of that, the cancer cells interact in very complex ways with the surrounding normal cells. So it is not all that surprising that we don't have, and most likely won’t find a single cure for all cancers.

This also applies to cannabis. The notion that cannabis (or more precisely THC) comes from experiments on cultured cancer cells in dishes or implanted in mice.

But a cancer in a human is not the same as a cancer cell line in a dish or injected into a mouse. Such experiments are important in selecting a substance that might be developed into a useful anti-cancer drug. But you can't jump directly from results of such experiments to effects in humans. Even if cancer reduces tumour bulk by 50% in experimental mice, it may still be useless as cancer treatment in humans. This is explained in further details here: http://anaximperator.wordpress.com/2012/03/30/if-i...

There are currently ongoing clinical trials that aim at answering if THC will be useful as part of treatment of some cancers. The fact that anti-cancer capabilities of cannabis is being researched proves that it is not being suppressed. Here is a balanced, honest and up to date review of the results of cannabis research, and the conclusions that can be drawn from it: http://scienceblog.cancerresearchuk.org/2012/07/25...

A 60 gram treatment over 90 days of decarboxilated cannabis oil that is high in both THC and CBD can treat and cure many types of serious cancers.

I believe it has shown some success against cells in a dish in a laboratory setting.

It has also had some success in topical application to tumors in mice and basal cell skin cancers in humans.

To the best of my understanding it has not shown any benefit in cancer treatment beyond this and there are easier and quicker ways to treat basal cell skin cancer.

I don't even think it makes decent salad dressing, let alone treat *anything*, except possibly dry skin.
