Smok 'Em if You Got 'Em

The California Pacific Medical Center Research Institute has found a substance in Marijuana, cannabidiol (CBD) that appears to be effective in treating cancer.

Unfortunately, CBD does not get you high, and you don't get enough via smoking, but it appears to block an Id-1 gene associated with metastasis.

Expect the work to be somewhere other than the US, the "War on Drugs" land.
