The research on this matter is highly controversial and I would say, in its incipient stage, Cannabis are not used to cure cancer but they are used for palliative care in cancer as they improve hunger and give a sense of wellbeing. Medicinal Marijuana has some modifications and is being studied under medical supervision for use in debilitating conditions like HIV and certain cancers.
i hope this helps sir. Drugs are harmful to health when overceding their amount and that should never be forgotten.
thank you
