Again, I am sorry for the NORML url thing but I was wrong again, just copy and past the following on google and click on the first site that pops up: Milan, Italy: Administration of the non-psychoactive cannabinoid cannabidiol (CBD) inhibits the growth of human glioma (brain tumor) cells both in vitro

hmm...i didn't know, but i tend not to believe every medical study conducted that is splashed across the media...

eggs are bad
eggs are good
smoking kills
smoking doesnt kill
this causes cancer
that causes cancer
everything causes cancer
everyone IS cancer
Cancer has taken over the world and is now emporer

the media like to sensationalise so I ignore it usually.

Um, Dr, the link isn't working.
I doubt the source is credible either.

i don't believe it either

also, did you know that tt’s main ingredient is THC (delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol), a mind-altering chemical?

oh, and that long term use of marijuana can cause effects like anxiety disorder, short-term memory loss, delierium, and hallucinations.

well, seeing as a tumor is the excessive growth and multiplication of cells, and almost any type of cell could become a tumor...
Kind of a misleading question.
