I could only find one good 2020 study showing that cannabis treats breast cancer. However, I noticed a suprisingly nice pattern emerging...
There are several studies from 2012 to present showing that Cannabidiolic Acid aka CBDA, the acidic precursor of cannabidiol, (CBD) treats breast cancer, and inhibits cell migration of the highly-aggressive, triple-negative breast cancer MDA-MB-231.
Previous studies have found it works through the down-regulation of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and c-fos as well as interfering with AP-1 transcription. Current research shows that CBDA inhibits differentiation of ID1, a gene whose up-regulation is associated with cancer metastases and solid tumor growth.

Nice pictures for this one : D
So what's the best way to get CBDa.... raw buds and leaves of indica plants?
Nice to see that the one brand new study wasn't a dead end after all. Upvoted and resteemed!
