Hi,
Thanks for writing in.

Pancreatic cancer is one of the most feared diseases and gives no time to the patient for survival. Almost every patient of pancreatic cancer will survive for months or few years at most unless it is detected at early stage and resectable.

Cannabis is being studied in the treatment of pancreatic cancer since the last decade. This has been with some positive reports in some patients. However a lot of research is still to be done on the topic to say with conformation that cannabis oil is a certain cure for pancreatic cancer.

Cannabis is a banned substance in India and procuring it is not easy. Even after procuring it the quality and purity might not be good enough for medical use. I suggest your friend gets medical grade cannabis with a prescription if possible and go ahead with treatment.
