The best answer I have is that yes, it can cure cancer… but so can garlic.
There are studies that have shown certain measurable positive effects on certain kinds of cancer, but that’s a long way from using the blanket word of “cure.” In fact, MANY, foods have proven “cancer-fighting” abilities, but since weed is illegal, it’s a lot easier to make up some bullshit about a massive conspiracy about it being held back by big pharma. Weed is available almost everywhere in the world: some conspiracy!
The truth is that cancer is the big one: the most nuanced, adaptive, and deadly disease out there. It comes in many different forms and acts differently in each situation. While some foods have a proven positive effect on cancer treatment, none of them can be called anything but “supplemental care” and nothing has a 100% effectiveness rate.
By all means, pursue your cure and your health in whatever way seems best to you, but if you are unsure about something, ask a trained physician. They won’t tell you that you should take hemp oil, but they will most likely encourage you to try new things if they make you feel better. A physician should also be able to warn you about possible side effects and drug interactions that you might not be aware of.
I’m not going to say that hemp oil is useless, but anyone who talks in absolutes, like Rick Simpson, is an absolute fraud. People with cancer, or with loved one who have it, or plain old stoners, all tend to lack a sense of control over the world around them. This makes them prime candidates for superstition and believe in conspiracy. Michael Shermer has some interesting things to say on people’s tendencies towards patternicity. Rick Simpson, though perhaps honest as far as he knows, is wrong. He undermines the marijuana legalization movement, and discounts the amazing work done in cancer research. He plays on people’s fears and sows mistrust where it is not justified.
Think, but think for yourself.
