Cannabis against cancer

Scientific studies have shown that the hemp plant (Cannabis sativa L.) and many cannabis compounds have anti-cancer properties, including THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) and CBD (cannabidiol), as well as some other lesser-known cannabinoids and terpenes. Many cancer patients are looking for alternatives and complementary natural treatment methods to standard medical procedures in cancer therapy and are pinning their hopes on treatment with cannabis products. However, the information on the subject in the media is often contradictory and misleading. This book offers a factual and well-founded overview of the current state of science on the therapeutic potential of cannabis ingredients in various cancers and their practical medical application. It provides answers to the questions of which cannabinoids can be used, which doses should be used, which preparations are useful, which combinations with standard therapies are promising and why different types of cancer require a different approach. The author Dr Franjo Grotenhermen is a doctor and expert in cannabis and cannabinoid medicine. Year of publication: 2017 ISBN: 978-3-03788-516-1 160 pages, format 14.8 x 21 cm
