Personal anecdotes vs medical literature. There is 0 scientific evidence that cannabis can cure cancer on its own. Chemotherapy is highly studied and well known to be effective against cancer.

According to his other answers, probably not. He’s mostly been saying that the research is still pretty new, and we are now just exploring how the endocannabinoid system affects cancer biology. In medical literature there is extremely weak evidence that cannabis has a positive effect on battling cancer, while we know for sure that current mainstays of treatment (chemo, radiation, resection, and more recently immunotherapy, targeted therapies for things like ER+ breast cancer) do work. There is good evidence however, that cannabis can be used to alleviate a lot of the side effects like nausea and poor appetite. A malnourished patient is a dead one.

TL;DR it’ll be a long time before any treatment will replace current cancer therapies.
