How effective is chemo compared to cannabis?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Evidence vs. NonEvid: Chemotherapy is directly treating cancer. It is the standard of care of many cancers and is justified by evidence based medicine. The reports of therapy are published and its effectiveness is shared across the medical community. Cannabis improves the quality of life for patients undergoing chemotherapy. It works in a more supportive way than direct treatment.

Chemo: Chemo kills cancer cells. Cannabis MAY have some effect we're not totally sure. If your doctor is recommending Chemo, do it. Don't pin your hopes on an untested "treatment" option.
