Results of only five of the 14 studies conducted have been published to date, with a sixth completed but not yet published. Two showed that smoked cannabis was effective for hard-to-treat pain in HIV patients. One demonstrated that cannabis is effective for relieving neuropathic pain related to spinal cord injuries and other conditions. Another study found that higher doses of cannabis produced more relief in subjects who had pain induced via chemical heat. The remaining studies have not yet been completed. Studies appear in the peer-reviewed journals Neurology, Journal of Pain, Anesthesiology, Neuropsychopharmacology, and Clinical Pharmacology & Therapeutics. www.cmcr.ucsd.edu/CMCR_REPORT_FEB17.pdf (accessed June 22, 2012).

58. Ramer R. 2010. Cannabidiol inhibits cancer cell invasion via upregulation of tissue inhibitor of matrix metalloproteinases-1. Biochem Pharmacol. Apr 1;79(7):955-66. Researchers found that the non-psychoactive cannabinoid cannabidiol (CBD) inhibited the invasion of both human cervical cancer and human lung cancer cells. By manipulating cannabidiol's upregulation of a tissue inhibitor, researchers may have revealed the mechanism of CBD's tumor-fighting effect. A further in vivo study demonstrated "a significant inhibition" of lung cancer metastasis in mice treated with CBD.
