It's similar (brand new) technology, so just like the Pfizer jab, we just don't know. We don't know the long term positive effects (they admit that will have to be seen in time), and we also don't know the long term negative effects. Which is why it's smart to wait... and probably why most anti-viral injections usually go through a 10+ year process! Which "vaccine" ends up being less harmful (and more effective) will be determined in the coming years.
Looks like a theory at this point, and cures for cancer are all suspect while cannabis is being ignored/prohibited, in my opinion. Unless a scientist is willing to admit the issue has been politicized, and that cannabinoids are a known cure for many types of cancer, he/she is either ignorant or corrupt. Dangling a cancer treatment (before one has even been proposed/developed) is something a group of investors would do... and I imagine that is who wrote that article, some investors, thinking from an investor's angle. Good technology doesn't begin by putting out a random product into the population and THEN finding out what it's effects (positive and negative) are. That's something only a suicidal company (or one granted legal immunity) would do.
Yes THC is definitely one of the main cancer-fighting cannabinoids but CBD (famous even in mainstream circles lately) and CBG are important as well. Certain types of cancer respond to different combinations of cannabinoids. A good general starting point is equal parts CBD and THC. There's also a combined therapeutic effect when dozens of cannabinoids work together in various ways, along with the therapeutic effects of the terpenes (non-cannabinoids organic compounds found in cannabis, responsible for the aroma and flavour). It's called the entourage effect, and it's why some patients prefer a "whole plant extract", rather than specific preparations of pure THC, CBD, etc. For a good general overview, here is a presentation (with 200+ really good links to reputable universities and hospitals) on the topic I did with my wife @MediKatie.
Yeah .... I lost a bunch of my family to Cancer... I sent them all the information on THC, CBD hoping it could save their lives. I’m not sure if they tried any of them but they did not survive. I hope that Cannabis is the cure.
Sorry to hear you've lost so many to cancer.
I think there are many ways to treat and cure it. Basically it's often about correcting the problem or conditions that allowed cancer to take hold in the first place. Understanding our endocannabinoid system is part of that I think. Avoiding cancer-causing foods and drugs is obviously extremely important. Organic and raw food as much as possible, less white sugar, less processed, less alcohol, less smoke, and so on. Sometimes I think surgery is the best option, followed up by lots of RSO (cannabis oil)for healing, pain control, and to deal with any residual cancer cells.
A friend of mine's father was serious ill with skin cancer, which he healed using RSO:
But I also have a friend with liver cancer and he's not having much luck with the oil. It seems a lot more research is necessary, but in a lot of places, we're still trying to fight prohibition so that we can grow, extract, use, and experiment with this awesome plant.

I was reading that if Moderna can get this right, the RNA can be instructed to destroy Cancer cells. So I am hoping it is a good technology.

So is it the THC that cures cancer ? Which Cannabinoids?
