Patients 'improving' on weed treatmentInitial studies have found that patients, including those with cancer, have benefited from cannabis extract treatment and it may inhibit cancer cell growth, according to the Government Pharmaceuticals Organisation. The Prasat Neurological Institute also found that five out of seven multiple sclerosis patients who did not respond to standard treatments were improving while being treated with THC:CBD (1:1) extract. They normally suffered from dry lips and throats, confusion, headaches and palpitations, as well as nausea and vomiting, Ms Nanthakan said. For Parkinson patients, THC:CBD (1:1) was applied to 16 patients at Sakonnakhon Hospital in Sakon Nakhon province for three months. More tests could be conducted on animals later, Ms Nanthakan said.
