In fact, how can any of us be sure that the marijuana didn’t cause, or at least contribute to these cancers? This certainly seems much more likely than that they cured these cancers. If the OP’s use of marijuana was going to cure cancer, then surely, it would have prevented the cancer in the first place.
Maybe not. But I have already recanted. See post above.

I heard a rumor that pussy juice heals cancer … perhaps if I toked a joint at the same time it could actually double the effects of healing.
Good volunteers for my study are so hard to find, plus I don’t even have cancer.
And admit it. Finding out marijuana cures cancer would be a hell of a lot more fun than the ones you mentioned.
That’s okay. We’ll put you in the control group.
Alohahaha.
That proves it works!
Offered for you comment.

Comments? Sure.
The site overstates its case and is just another example of very poor science reporting.
The Harvard study it cites was a valid study, but the authors of that study, as proper scientists, were careful about their conclusions. The people summarizing that study were not.
So, what did the study say? First, it was done in mice. That’s not unusual, as mice are initially used in many medical trials.
Many important medical discoveries are made in mice. The problem? Not everything that works in mice works in humans (and vice-versa). Sure, it’s a potentially promising result, but it doesn’t actually say anything about the corresponding result in humans. Yet.
Next, the authors themselves noted that the use of THC has been shown in other animal studies to promote the development of tumors. Again, what happens in animals doesn’t say anything about the corresponding result in humans. Yet.
Next, the use of THC didn’t cure anything - it was correlated with an inhibition in tumor growth in this particular case. The mice still had cancer. But it didn’t spread as fast. Again, what happens in animals doesn’t say anything about the corresponding result in humans. Yet.
Finally, why be so coy? Summarize the result for yourself. If you think this provides any actual evidence to support your claims, it doesn’t. In the best possible case, it just means THC use retarded the growth of tumors, not that it actually reduced tumor size at all.
Noted.
One study does not a cure make.
Only THC was studied and the mice did not smoke pot. Instead, it was administered in a lab setting not the real world.
Can you find a more recent study or a follow-up?
