In reply to the discussion: More on Cannabis cures cancer..... [View all]kestrel91316
(51,666 posts)46. We medical people don't use the word "cure" but rarely when it comes to cancer or any other
chronic illness. It's a favorite of those with zero medical background, however.
We talk about "response to therapy" or "failure to respond to treatment" or "resolution of signs" or "remission" or "disease-free". You'd know this if you would take a valium and read some of the articles I gave you a link to.

You use pot but yet you are anti-pot. Sounds like typical RW "I got mine, screw you" BS.
