Brief Answer:
There are no comprehensive studies confirming the anti tumour properties.

Detailed Answer:
Hello Mr XXXXXXX

Thank you for posting your question.

I am sorry to disappoint you, but these hemp oil/cannabis oil are not completely studied they gained fame because of a documentary and not as a result of true scientific study.

So, no medical doctor will advice you to take these to treat brain tumours until their efficacy and safety is proven beyond doubt.

As of now, their safety and efficacy is not yet proven so you can not buy them legally in XXXXXXX

I would advice you to consult a neurosurgeon and get the proper evidence treatment rather than falling for pseudoscience and untested claims made by ignorant people online.

If the tumour is benign, then the best treatment is simple excision, this will give the best results.

I hope I have made it clear.

Wishing your mother a speedy recovery.

Best regards
