The Benefits of Medical Marijuana and Bone Cancer


Over 50% of people that have cancer suffer from chronic pain. Studies show a higher percentage of bone cancer patients suffer from pain.(Source)

Bone Cancer can result in a lot of pain. In a recent study on mice and humans it was found that cannabinoids found in cannabis reduce pain caused by C-fiber nociceptors, CB2 Receptors(Source) and WIN-55(Source). They react to slow down the pain signals going to the brain giving relief to the pain.(Source) A low dose cannabis treatment can mitigate the pain associated with bone cancer.(Source)

The effect of the CB2 receptors from cannabis treatment has shown to reduce bone loss and fracturing.(Source) The receptors increase bone cell renewal and reduce bone resorption. Marijuana has shown to increase bone density and reduce osteoporosis to keep bones healthy.(Source)

Many cancer patients describe the cannabis application of Rick Simpson Oil or also known as Phoenix Tears to help and cure their cancer and reduce pain. Rick Simpson created his own cannabis oil by slow boiling the whole plant to get a concentrated form of cannabinoid oil. It can be taken orally in drops under the tongue or applied topically to the area of pain or cancer. Many patients have cured their cancer and attributed it to Rick Simpson Oil.
