I thought legalizing THC was going to cure glaucoma, cystic fibrosis, and a bad case of the gout. So claimed the legalizers.
That being said, it was not a recreational method at all.
I’ve found it’s great for a sleep aid, winding down after a long stressful day. Take it half an hour before bed and sleep like a baby. Way better than when I used to use alcohol.
It's a double edged sword. THC/CBD does depress certain inflammatory markers and tumor/cell growth (and induces apoptosis), but it does so by suppressing the immune system as a whole which is often necessary in fighting cancer cells. So it does not cure cancer on it own, but it def has some therapeutic qualities.
A friend with pain and difficulty sleeping says it keeps him from overusing narcotics or ibuprofen
It is alleged to be effective as a poultice for joint pain.
It is also great for motion sickness nausea.
I think you need to have a baseline tolerance of 6-8 beers in a day and not be smashed.

AKA alcoholism.

Cannabinoid receptor (CB-R) agonists inhibit cancer cell proliferation through various receptor-mediated mechanisms. CB-R agonist induces cancer cell death via apoptosis, mediated by the activation of different transcription factors (proapoptotic Bcl2 family transcription factor and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway) and de novo synthesis of ceramide and reactive oxygen species (ROS) production. CBs block cancer cells’ proliferation by inhibiting extracellular signal regulated kinase (ERK) signaling. They also reduce cell migration and angiogenesis, inhibiting the focal adhesion kinase/proto-oncogene tyrosine-protein kinase Src/transforming protein RhoA (FAK/SRC/RhoA) pathway. CBs prevent cancer epithelial mesenchymal transition (EMT), inhibiting Wnt/β-catenin pathway, and induce autophagy by activation of mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) and AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) pathways. CBs can impair stemness and cancer stem cells’ (CSCs) self-renewal. (Akt (protein kinase B), PI3K (phosphoinositol-3-kinase) Raf (serine/threonine-protein kinase)).
