Agrowing body of early research shows a compound found in marijuana –
one that does not produce the plant’s psychotropic high – seems to have
the ability to “turn off” the activity of a gene responsible for
metastasis in breast and other types of cancers.

Two scientists at San Francisco’s California Pacific Medical Center Research Institute
first released data five years ago that showed how this compound –
called cannabidiol – reduced the aggressiveness of human breast cancer
cells in the lab.

Last year, they published a small study that showed it had a similar effect on mice. Now, the researchers are on the
cusp of releasing data, also on animals, that expands upon these
results, and hope to move forward as soon as possible with human
clinical trials.

“The preclinical trial data is very strong, and there’s no toxicity. There’s really a lot of research to move ahead with
and to get people excited,” said Sean McAllister, who along with
scientist Pierre Desprez, has been studying the active molecules in
marijuana – called cannabinoids – as potent inhibitors of metastatic
disease for the past decade.
