Can a plant influence processes involved in the development of cancer? It is a question that is being investigated more and more frequently. Not because cannabis is a miracle cure, but because scientists are increasingly understanding how the endocannabinoid system plays a role in inflammation, cell growth, immune responses, and the body's natural healing ability.

A recent scientific review, discussed by Peter Vermeul, owner and founder of CBD Spain, brings together the results of multiple studies on cannabinoids in experimental models of colon cancer. The findings are interesting and show why a full spectrum cannabis extract in particular receives so much attention within science.
