I agree.
I think it could be a good topic for a BCNA conference. I've read that there are studies that say it inhibits the growth of cancer cells, but the two doctors I did the webinar with flat out said there was no evidence. And what about the CBD oil etc? Ease of access? Validity of use to relieve side effects of chemo and AIs? Is it a niche product or a growing area of complementary medicines that oncologists are becoming more comfortable with? Recently I went to a breast cancer fundraiser and the oncologist there was asked a question about the legal use of cannabis & cannabis products. She said that based on the anecdotal evidence from her patients she was open to it and felt that as a cohort, oncologists were increasingly on board. As medical marijuana is now legal in some parts (or all?) of the country, it'd be good to hear about its application in our corner of the medical world.
