I've got to admit I think a lot of these 'cannabis oil cure my cancer' stories strike me as woo/magical/hopeful thinking - there's a lot of stoners out there that are hoping to justify their habits when in reality they are self medicating emotional pain.
Except that there are already studies and real evidence around to suggest it can help directly in tackling cancer, it combined with radiation for brain tumours is the more obvious one off the top of my head. Cancer is complicated and there is no cure all but the anecdotal and real evidence for some cancers should be of great interest, but of course to the institutions and industry, not so much.
Seriously if cannabis was never illegal and no one ever knew about it, it would be a massive revolution in medicine, name me anything ever that comes close to treating the array of ailments and symptoms we can already see that cannabis can. Ask yourself why the US government kept this mild recreational drug at Schedule 1 for so long, where scientific research is not allow, or ask yourself why scientific research is not allowed on anything period. The money that is involved here and threat to prescription drugs is massive, many which are very inadequate at treating serious conditions.
No offence but this stoner notion is the exact brainwashing and stereotypes that have helped maintained the status quo for decades. I hate sounding like some fanatic but people really need to clear their heads of the negative connotations that has been used for decades and really see what is going on here, and what has for so long. Here in Australia we actually have trials going on for children with epilepsy, but with a synthetic CBD. The conservatism and efforts to still prevent people from doing it themselves, while placing it in the hands of big pharma is a sad joke. Anyone can probably already access medical grade, CBD low THC genetics, from a single seed planted in your yard for nothing; lets see how long this will still remain illegal in most countries.
The prevention of what is happening with it in medicine now for so long is deplorable, the same thing is happening with psychedelics as well, they are coming back out of the wood works because of their ability to create rapid changes for different mental health issues and PTSD. Of course psychedelics have all been placed at Schedule 1 for decades as well, even though none are addictive, while meth, crack and heroine, not so bad apparently at Schedule 2. I hope the pattern is obvious enough here.
Edit: Sorry heroine is actually schedule 1, but cocaine/crack and meth schedule 2.
