Paperback: Hemp Against Cancer

Franjo Grotenhermen

This book offers an objective and well-founded overview of the current state of science regarding the therapeutic potential of cannabis ingredients in various cancers and their practical medical application.

Scientific studies have shown that the hemp plant (Cannabis sativa L.) and many cannabis ingredients possess anti-cancer properties, including THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) and CBD (cannabidiol), as well as some other lesser-known cannabinoids and terpenes. Many cancer patients seek alternatives and complementary natural treatment methods to medical standard procedures in cancer therapy and place their hope on treatment with cannabis products. However, the information on the topic in the media is often contradictory and misleading. This book offers an objective and well-founded overview of the current state of science regarding the therapeutic potential of cannabis ingredients in various cancers and their practical medical application. It provides answers to questions about which cannabinoids can be used, what doses should be applied, which preparations are sensible, which combinations with standard therapies are promising, and why different types of cancer require different approaches.
