Many studies have found that cannabinoids contained in marijuana can slow cancer growth, inhibit the formation of new blood vessels that feed tumors, and help deal with pain, fatigue, nausea and various other side effects.

Another study found that many cancer cells die when exposed to tetrahidrocannabinol (THC), which is a psychoactive substance in marijuana. Other experts also say that cannabinoids contained in marijuana besides functioning to overcome cancer symptoms such as nausea, pain, loss of appetite, and fatigue also have anti-tumor properties.

Besides being able to kill cancer cells directly, THC can also reduce the ability of cancer cells to spread. Another advantage of THC is that THC can kill cancer cells without killing normal cells.

Various types of cancer have been shown to experience improvement after exposure to THC, ranging from brain cancer (glioma), lung cancer, blood cancer (leukemia), and breast cancer. In brain cancer, THC has been shown to kill cancer cells and inhibit the formation of new blood vessels. In lung cancer, THC has been shown to inhibit the spread of cancer. In leukemia, THC causes cancer cell death (apoptosis). In breast cancer, THC has been shown to inhibit proliferation, metastasis, and cancer cell growth.

Cannabinoids contained in marijuana can kill cancer cells and destroy malignant tumors by replacing the function of ID-1 gene which is a protein that plays an important role as a conductor of cancer cells.

Gen ID-1 is active during human development at the embryo, which then stops working. In some cases of breast cancer and various other metastatic cancers, the ID-1 gene returns active and causes malignant cell growth.

Now many researchers are trying to use THC and cannabinoid as a combination therapy in chemotherapy drugs that can kill cancer cells and not kill healthy cells, so that various side effects of chemotherapy drugs can be reduced
