One of my closest friends had STAGE 4 throat cancer. The doc's told him to "put your affairs in order, there's nothing you can do". Chemo wouldn't do anything but make his last days miserable. He's a fighter, a semi-pro inside linebacker and iron worker. He went to a clinic in Canada and received hemp oil treatment. Between his 3 month to live diagnosis and today he's gotten married and had two kids.
He maintains now by eating food that highly alkaline. Cancer cells LOVE acidity, they thrive on carbs, they're highly acidic.
The world is a better place with this guy around. He's crazy cool and always ready to help a friend. I'm happy for him and his new family.
He showed me a dvd with a video of cancer cells consuming healthy cells. Then the hemp oil was introduced and the H shaped cancer cells started eating each other instead of the healthy cells. The oil "educates" the cancer cells to cannibalize each other. The video showed the cells eating more and more of themselves until there was just a few left. Then two, then none.

After Decades of Denial National Cancer Institute Finally Admits that “Cannabis Kills Cancer”
Two words.
Bull and crap.
This^^^ is why it's so important to continue educating folks about the new and continuing research, the knowledge this research is revealing, and the many new medicinal products developed and available for many old ailments and diseases. Inhalation is just one of many ways of medicating with cannabis; there are also oils, teas, tinctures, edibles, and so on.
In the case of cannabis specifically, not only is smoking the dried plant material a very effective way of releasing the THC cannabinoids for therapeutic purposes, it is also an efficient means of immediate delivery and distribution. Further, studies have shown that it does not cause lung cancer, and may even provide a protective effect against lung cancer:
Worth repeating: marijuana decreases risk of lung cancer
Just remember once upon a time tobacco was 'good' for you.
And it still is.
5 Health Benefits of Smoking
Nicotine, the Wonder Drug?
Nonsense, he made an observation with no explanation. If you inhale smoke in your lungs you will have an increased risk for squamous cell carcinoma. That is a fact, and I observe this for a living as a cell biologist. If you need a reference I suggest you read books by Koss or Demay.
A pulmonologist does not specialize in cancer specifics and would not be able to explain such findings, only observe. There was only an abstract so I can't see his methods, but his suggestion is ridiculous. The smoke would change the lining cells in the lung to squamous cells before a mutation. This would be easily observable and provide strong evidence to what he suggest.
He does not make any reference to this which suggest two things: he didn't observe it, or he doesn't know what to look for. Most of these studies are intended for people within the field to scrutinize, so when you just post them without understanding them you do everyone a disservice.
What every you say buddy. I'm not going to argue with what I know. Because no matter what I say your going to tell me it's harmless and cures cancer. But then again I've heard if you rectally insert it you get twice as high.

Or maybe you are just a lazy, dumb and paranoid guy and the weed made you realise this in a clarity that your everyday ego would never allow?
You are talking about Fratricide Therapy and it isn't done with Hemp oil.
If anything you saw a video mislabeled as hemp oil when it was actually something else.

From The Free Thought Project, August 2015:
After Decades of Denial National Cancer Institute Finally Admits that “Cannabis Kills Cancer”
Although still claiming, “there is not enough evidence to recommend that patients inhale or ingest cannabis as a treatment for cancer-related symptoms or side effects of cancer therapy,” the admission that “cannabis has been shown to kill cancer cells in the laboratory,” highlights a rapidly changing perspective on medicinal cannabis treatments.
The National Cancer Institute notes the many medical studies (some still ongoing) that have shown that cannabis kills cancer cells, but these studies have been conducted in vitro and on animals, hence the lack of "enough evidence to recommend" for humans, although there is one trial listed showing the use of the cannabinoid Cannabidiol (CBD) orally to humans to treat solid tumors.
As much as I'd like to believe our federal government (and Big Pharma) are finally trying to do the right thing, I don't. I think they are trying to use it for their own best interests -- not our best interests -- by keeping cannabis and all its healing properties under their complete control and direction. It still hasn't been taken off the Schedule I for drugs with no medicinal benefits. And Big Pharma is still trying to synthesize it, knowing full well that the greatest benefits are derived from the whole plants and all its cannabinoids working together in synergy. But that's not patentable and not controllable. Instead, as the National Cancer Institute tells us:
Cannabis and cannabinoids have been studied in clinical trials for ways to manage side effects of cancer and cancer therapies...
Not to treat cancer... not to kill cancer.... not as a primary cancer treatment... but just to "manage" the side effects of cancer and (especially) Big Pharma's and Big Med's cancer therapies, like radiation and chemotherapy. And some of it borders on fraud. For example:
“Evidence from one animal study suggests that extracts from whole-plant marijuana can shrink one of the most serious types of brain tumors,” the NIDA said. “Research in mice showed that these extracts, when used with radiation, increased the cancer-killing effects of the radiation.”
Maybe I'm reading this wrong, but this ^^^ makes no sense to me. Radiation kills ALL cells, including cancer cells. Cannabis only kills cancer cells, NOT healthy cells. Cannabis doesn't need radiation to be effective. If cannabis aids radiation, it's because cannabis is a superior healing product.
But cannabis cannot be patented. At least not alone. Radiation treatments can be patented. As can a treatment process that includes cannabis. So if Big Pharma can show that their radiation treatments work better with cannabis, they can patent that process. It doesn't matter if cannabis would work better alone. They don't have to prove that. They don't even have to do what is in our best interests. And non-disclosure agreements and confidentiality clauses allow them to keep any such knowledge secret. They don't have to tell us.
This is the second time I've seen this play in action. The first time was when we were told that colloidal silver makes antibiotics more effective.. Well, since colloidal silver is a powerful NATURAL antibiotic in and of itself, I would expect that it would improve treatment with prescription antibiotics. It's also quite possible that colloidal silver is simply a superior healing agent that performs better than prescription antibiotics to begin with. But as long as the patent laws are what they are, they don't have to tell us that.
And it was for many of the same reasons that Thomas Jefferson and other founding fathers were reluctant to even include patent laws in the Constitution, and tried to limit their application and issuance. They knew that patent laws could be and would be abused to serve the best interests of the few at the expense of the many, denying people their natural rights to the fruits of the earth and the wonders of nature.... including -- nay! especially!!! -- those that can save our lives. But that's a whole 'nother thread!
I often wonder what it's like to believe that somehow the cure for cancer has been found but no one outed it. it's really quite amazing.
