Welcome to the latest issue of our Medical Cannabis Newsletter!
Exciting new research continues to highlight the therapeutic power of cannabis compounds in some of the most challenging health conditions. This edition spotlights promising studies on cannabinoids and cancer, plus real-world relief for chronic pain sufferers.
In this issue:
CBD makes chemo work dramatically better against lung cancer!
THC & CBD) show strong anti-tumor effects in pancreatic cancer!
CBD supercharges colon cancer treatment!
Medical cannabis delivers up to 2 years of real relief for migraine sufferers!
CBDA + CBD suppository cuts menstrual cramps by 44–68% !
Cancer Research reports: CBD makes chemo work dramatically better against lung cancer!
When combined, CBD and etoposide killed lung cancer cells much more effectively than either drug alone.
The combo triggers cancer cells to self-destruct through a process called autophagy (cells basically eating themselves).
It also switches off signals that help cancer grow and spread.
Anti Cancer Research reports: THC & CBD) show strong anti-tumor effects in pancreatic cancer!
They can trigger cancer cells to die (apoptosis)
They can stop cancer cells from multiplying (cell cycle arrest)
They can reduce the growth of new blood vessels that feed the tumor (anti-angiogenesis)
They can help adjust the body’s immune response around the tumor
They can lower harmful oxidative stress in cells

This PubMed Study reports: CBD supercharges colon cancer treatment!
CBD strongly turns on a group of genes called Metallothionein (MT) genes.
Why this matters:
These MT genes are usually much lower in bowel cancer tissues than in normal tissues. Low MT levels seem to help cancer grow.
CBD reliably boosts MT gene levels.
When MT genes or zinc are increased together with CBD, it kills cancer cells even better.
This study from the UK reports: Medical cannabis delivers up to 2 years of real relief for migraine sufferers!
Patients showed clear improvements in headache impact, anxiety levels, sleep quality, and overall quality of life that lasted up to 2 years.
Migraine-related disability improved for up to 1 year.
Patients taking lower doses of THC (the main active part of cannabis) were also less likely to improve on migraine disability scores.
Higher doses of THC appeared to work better for reducing migraine-specific problems.
The Journal of Sexual Medicine reports: CBDA + CBD suppository cuts menstrual cramps by 44–68% !
Overall, average pain score dropped from 6.38 to 3.54 — a 44% reduction in pain.
Women who started with milder pain saw an even bigger improvement: from 5.43 down to 1.71 — a 68% reduction.
81% of the women ended up needing fewer oral painkillers.
