The reality is that if a cheap compound could be used to completely reverse someone’s cancer, it would likely have been found by now. This research will probably result in virtually no change in cancer treatment and a more comprehensive way of treating specific types of cancers will emerge. We’ve studied the link between cannabis and cancer for decades and the reality is that no significant benefit has been seen from cannabis users.

If anything there are weak associations between cannabis use to increased instances of lung and prostate cancers, although this is far from definitive. I wish a simple herb could cure cancer, but it’s seeming less and less likely.

I'm not sure how that's relevant to my comments. I never said these compounds were effective at treating cancer. Just that they are widely available and inexpensive.
