Well, you have actually put it best. You are actually clutching at straws. cannabis oil has never and will never cure any cancer in the human body. There is no literature or data to support this. You will always find people and sites claiming otherwise, but as an oncologist, there is no scientific reason for you to believe this. You should concentrate on the conventional forms of therapy that are tried and tested, namely, surgery chemotherapy and radiotherapy.
