Below is series of medical research studies links from the National Institute of Health. The focus is on the impact of Cannabis & Cancer. Most of these studies were done outside of United Stated due to the restrictive nature of NIDA and the DEA doing any studies that show a positive impact of cannabis for medical use. At the end, there is a list of articles compiled by the International Association of Cannabis Medicine..
