    1. The Cannabis for Cancer Declaration‏ @CfCDeclaration May 25
      Replying to @gorskon

      Cannabis may not be an all-out cure, but it can definitely produce anticancer effects in humans in at least some cases. In this post I summarize a dozen case studies, series, and clinical trial showing an anticancer effect. Most are on PubMed.https://cannabisdeclaration.com/news/published-case-studies-and-a-clinical-trial-showing-cannabis-produces-anticancer-effects-in-humans/ …

      The vast majority of the studies in that “declaration” are case reports and small case series. I’m not seeing much in the way of compelling evidence. Looks like I might have to update my “cannabis does not cure cancer post” to “ cannabis STILL doesn’t cure cancer.”

      I’d love to see one compelling peer-reviewed study that shows weed cures ANY of the hundreds of different cancers. Just one. I looked. There is not one.

      Ah, but dontcha know, he's careful to couch the bogus claims in weasel words like "may not be a cure in all cases BUT... " (never mind his mission statement of promoting it as a cancer tmt.) Ugh. SO much misinfo.pic.twitter.com/Cg0456lS3k

    6. The Cannabis for Cancer Declaration‏ @CfCDeclaration May 25
      Replying to @IamBreastCancer @skepticalraptor @gorskon

      I understand the skepticism and would like to clarify some things. First, this Declaration does not claim cannabis cures cancer, but that it can produce anticancer effects in many cases and patients should be able to use it if desired. The evidence to justify such use is strong.

      Chief, I looked at those studies in your link. None of those studies are good enough to make a recommendation that weed cures cancer. Now if you decide to smoke it, it’s your personal call. But don’t recommend it to others without proper evidence and data.

      Replying to @sgjdoc @IamBreastCancer and

      Those studies, combined with the double-blind trial, large amount of media-reported evidence, and preclinical evidence showing phyto/endocannabinoids kill cancer cells, is good enough for many people across the world.

      You’re trying to blow smoke up our asses. We’re actual scientists who follow evidence not anecdotes, logical fallacies, and pathetic studies that are not what you think they are.

      Replying to @skepticalraptor @sgjdoc and

      This is a nuanced topic that is hard to describe on Twitter. The evidence is undeniably strong that it can produce anticancer effects in humans in at least some cases. But there are many who just won't believe it until multiple double-blind trials are conducted, and that's fine.

      Again: "Strong." You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
