After unsuccessfully going through chemotherapy for leukemia this girl's parents tried cannabis oil.

It's a cute video and all and I'm happy the girl is doing better but I can't help but feel the video is very misleading and the parents are using their child as a way to make a political statement about medical marijuana.
From what I have gathered on news sites the girl started feeling sick in May, was diagnosed with cancer in July, 3 days after being diagnosed the mother applied for her daughter to receive medical marijuana, shortly afterward the chemo treatments started, the doctor said she might need a bone marrow transplant, the parents started giving her medical marijuana and by early August her cancer was in remission and the little girl kept receiving chemo treatments.
We're talking less than a month between when her chemo treatments started and when her cancer went into remission. It sounds more like the doctors were just saying it's a possibility she might need a bone marrow transplant and the parents are crediting the marijuana with the cancer going into remission instead of the chemo treatments because she didn't end up needing a bone marrow transplant.

It's possible but it wouldn't be the first time cannabis has been credited with causing cancer to go into remission rather quickly.
It's difficult to do proper studies in the US due to it being classified as a schedule 1 drug. Luckily other countries around the world
are doing lots of research.
Florida Gov. Rick Scott signs medical marijuana bill.

Looks like this is just a limited bill, in that it only allows for CBD based oils but it's still a big deal as there are an estimated 125,000 children
in florida that suffer from severe epilepsy and this could be a huge boon for them. A full scale medical marijuana bill is still set to
be voted on by Floridians this fall. I'm looking at you, PB!
Dr. Christina Sanchez is a molecular biologist at Compultense University in Madrid Spain, her research led to the findings that THC does indeed kill cancer cells
I don't claim to be an expert, but I'd say there are mountains of evidence to support that conclusion. But we weren't talking about cigarettes and cancer. We were talking about your misrepresentation of the facts with regards to marijuana. It does not, in fact, cause psychosis. This is what your study says. Do us all a favor and stop claiming that your position is based upon empirical evidence. The empirical evidence does not support your claim.
When you say that marijuana causes psychosis, you are saying so based upon your own opinion that you would not like to risk psychotic symptoms because they are correlated with an increased risk of the development of clinical psychosis. You are welcome to that opinion. You are not, however, welcome to produce your own facts to make you feel better about your own opinion.
