I survived an aggressive cancer that was stage four when diagnosed. The chances were not good, not good at all. Two years later I'm still in complete remission. I began consuming a variety of cannabis products and can say with no reserve that it helped me get through the damned chemo. However, it was the damned chemo that saved my life and caused a huge tumor to shrink and disappear in a short amount of time.
Cannabis is wonderful for people going through chemo but to tout it as a cancer cure, at this point, is absurd and dangerous thinking. The medical research is in its infancy. I have very high hopes for the future but we are not there yet, not by a long shot.
Yes, some cannabanoids actively seek out and attack cancer cells. However, that effect, in its raw form, is a very weak effect relative to what is required. The great hope is to make a chemical bond between the specific cannabanoid and the anti-cancer drugs, making it possible to target cancer cells and cancer cells only. That means that much less of the drugs are used and all of the drug targets the malignant cells. In current treatments the entire body is flooded with the poisons and it is a race to see which dies first, the patient or the cancer.
Eventually the useful molecule will be synthesized, concentrated, and turned into a winning treatment. We are still a long way from there. There are many very exciting possibilities and wonderful things happening right now for people with severe epilepsy. The first substance tested that has a positive effect on the plague build up in the brain, associated with Alzheimer's, is good old marijuana. That is super amazing as treatment and research has been stalled for years in the treatment of Alzheimer patients. Case studies indicate a great reduction of symptoms for many patients, though not so much among the very severe cases.
There is a tendency to want to believe that marijuana is a magic bullet cure all. But you should not risk your life by self treating a life threatening disease. I survived by taking the chemical medicine and by using copious quantities of marijuana.
Sorry this is so long. I love Tommy Chong but I fear some may take a dangerous message away from this program.

And now he's treating his newly-diagnosed rectal cancer with real medicine, chemo and radiation.
