The CANNABINOIDS are groups of natural chemical compounds found only in the cannabis plant. They affect the body and mind through their interaction with special receptors throughout the body (called CB1 and CB2). These cannabinoid receptors are richly present throughout the immune, digestive, reproductive, central and peripheral nervous systems of both humans and animals. The selective activation of these receptors with the different cannabinoids is what leads to the wide variety of medicinal effects and the extensive healing properties of cannabis. Trends in Pharmacological Sciences, 2009 (Vol.30 No.10 pp.515-527).

Research has shown that cannabidiol ("CBD" above) has anti-tumor / anti-cancer action in the fight against cancer. In particular there have been studies showing positive efficacy against breast cancer, prostrate cancer, head and neck cancers, brain cancers, and prostrate cancers! Cannabis, marijuana, is a natural, safe, and a very important curative piece to the puzzle: Click on the "Find the Cure" ribbons for more information about the curative effects with metastatic breast cancer!
