Before you get all excited (with glee), consider this from the article:

"The findings are preliminary, however, and other outside experts urged caution.
Which is why I bolded that section originally, to show that I did not over look that part.

If they can show that the active ingredient reduces tumors in humans, then there might be something worth talking about.
And from that article:

Quote:
Next, the researchers injected standard doses of THC into mice implanted with human lung cancer cells. After three weeks of treatment, tumors shrank by about 50 percent in animals treated with THC, compared to those in an untreated control group, the researchers reported.
They test on rats and other animals which have similar traits as our bodies, and the fact that they tested on Human Lung Cancer Cells rather then rat cancer cells and it worked on them, would suggest that there is a great chance this does indeed work.

Putting these results into practice with my own life and experiences in this topic of which I have personally encountered through my life matches their results they have reported, plus the countless people I have talked to about this drug for the last 10 years all seem to match closer to these results as opposed to the age old argument that weed has more tar and cancerous materials in it compared to ciggs, which never added up.
