Are you a fan of getting high? Well, now you may have an objective reason to engage in your favorite pot smoking hobby.

It turns out that phytocannabinoid, a type of cannabinoid, may stop cancer cells from diving and invading the healthy tissue, as well as cut off the blood supply the tumor is getting. This is just one of the many compounds found in marijuana and it’s naturally present in the plant.

Furthermore, this particular compound could also have other effects that are beneficial for your health. Apart from actively treating the tumors already present in the body, it can also slow down their growth and spreading throughout the body.

The study was published in EurekAlert, a British journal, and was authored by professor Burkhard Hinz who works for the Rostock University Medical Center in Germany. Through his studies, he examined and exposed marijuana’s potential to be beneficial for our health.

The professor believes his findings should lead to further studies being conducted on the topic, examining it to an even greater detail. By investigating the effect of cannabinoids on caner growth and progression in patients, we’re going to be able to broaden our understanding of the subject and discover an answer to this dreaded disease. In other words, additional clinical studies are urgently required.

If you’re interested in the full scope of the study, you can read more about it at EurekAlert’s official website.
