I’ve recently met someone who had stage 4 metastisised breast cancer and given only a few months to live. She managed to use cannabis oil and the tumours have reduced and 18 months later she is alive ...
I had a quick look at the SA advice to doctors, yesterday. There appears to be some concern in that long-term effects are not well-known so at the moment it's a softly, softly approach and for doctors to decide based on their knowledge of the patient and the patient's condition. I believe that, from memory (yesterday morning seems years ago) cancer is considered to be one of the conditions medicinal cannabis is highlighted for.
