Cancer Research UK says it is aware of patients using cannabis extracts to treat themselves but stressed there is 'no good evidence' to prove it was safe and effective.
A bowel cancer patient told he had just 18 months to live claims he has been cured by cannabis oil.
David Hibbitt, 33, was diagnosed with the disease in July 2012 and underwent chemotherapy, radiotherapy and surgery to remove his large bowel.
Doctors told him the cancer was terminal - so he decided to try cannabis oil as a last resort and bought it from a local dealer for £50 a gram.
Now the father-of-one says he has been cancer-free since his last scan in January - and puts the class-B drug down to his miracle recovery.
He is now looking forward to the future after tying the knot with his partner of six years Heather Martin, 26, at a registry office today.
Mr Hibbitt, from Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire, said: 'Friends had told me about cannabis oil and I dismissed it at first. I've never been into drugs.
'But in February last year I was told I only had 18 months to five years to live, and I felt I had to try everything I could.
'I felt like the chemo was killing me and I had nothing to lose. I couldn't accept I was going to die.

I'm currently on chemotherapy and the worst part is not being hungry and not having any appetite. So if it can at least help patients to eat then it's worth it. There is no prescription drug to help you eat so cannabis is the only alternative. I need to eat 3 good meals a day just to cope with the chemo. I have anti sickness medication that works, but nothing to help with the hunger.

More people need to be made aware of cannabis oil.
UK gov has their head up their arse.

Of course they'll say that "there's no good evidence". There's too much money to be lost if there was. I wonder if there's been an independent study on it.

a reply to: alienjuggalo I'm having a problem with seizures at the moment. My brains a bit of a mess . In the past 12months I've had surgery to remove a tumour a stroke and 6 months of chemo.

a reply to: alienjuggalo I don't really understand the difference between cbd oil and cannabis oil. Cbd oil can be purchased legally in the UK, Over Amazon, but not cannabis oil. The cbd oil does relieve my seizures but the other one seems to trigger them.

a reply to: alienjuggalo thanks for the link, but it's quite a confusing article. I think the one that seems to trigger my seizures is the one that has the higher psychoactive contents, the ones without it seem to reduce the seizures. It's all very confusing
