Although still claiming, “there is not enough evidence to recommend that patients inhale or ingest cannabis as a treatment for cancer-related symptoms or side effects of cancer therapy,” the admission that “cannabis has been shown to kill cancer cells in the laboratory,” highlights a rapidly changing perspective on medicinal cannabis treatments.
Cannabis and cannabinoids have been studied in clinical trials for ways to manage side effects of cancer and cancer therapies...
“Evidence from one animal study suggests that extracts from whole-plant marijuana can shrink one of the most serious types of brain tumors,” the NIDA said. “Research in mice showed that these extracts, when used with radiation, increased the cancer-killing effects of the radiation.”

A handgun kills cancer cells. What's your point?

8 Things You Should Know About Cannabidiol (CBD)
According to the federal government, specific components of the marijuana plant (THC, CBD) have medical value, but the plant itself does not have medical value. Uncle Sam’s single-molecule blinders reflect a cultural and political bias that privileges Big Pharma products. Single-molecule medicine is the predominant corporate way, the FDA-approved way, but it’s not the only way, and it’s not necessarily the optimal way to benefit from cannabis therapeutics. Cannabis contains several hundred compounds, including various flavonoids, aromatic terpenes, and many minor cannabinoids in addition to THC and CBD. Each of these compounds has specific healing attributes, but when combined they create what scientists refer to as a holistic “entourage effect,” so that the therapeutic impact of the whole plant is greater than the sum of its single-molecule parts. The Food and Drug Administration, however, isn’t in the business of approving plants as medicine.

sigh - in laboratory tests - hydrofluric acid destroys all cancer cells and all pathogens
oh - also destroys most of the lab equipment and disolved the lab technician - but hey thats just a minor " side effect "
i am sure that the difference between in vivo and in vito has been explained to you more than once
...these studies have been conducted in vitro and on animals, hence the lack of "enough evidence to recommend" for humans...
so why are we here again ?

Marijuana helps against which cancer????
Cancer is not a single disease, it is a whole faimily of diseases. The onlist thing that is common is that the cancer-cells dont follow the standard way cells are supposed to grow. Some may travel in your blood system/lymp system to other areas in your body and start gorwing there. Some stay in the same area and just never dies.
To say mariuana kills all types of cancer is the same as saying antibiotics cure every disease
