I don’t need any. I just need to point out that your evidence doesn’t adequately support your claim.Oh no?That’s not how it works.I already listed some evidence, you are now the one with burden of proof.I know what you asked, and my response was a complete and sufficient one.I asked for evidence that it does not help, what is that evidence?The burden of proof is on the claimant.What is your evidence that it does not at least help some?My disagreement with you isn’t evidence that I am wrong, nor that I am unaware, nor that I have failed to “research” anything.Any use of cannabis in any form isn’t going to cure cancer of any type.Just smoking cannabis isn't going to cure cancer of its type. But if he would have used the right lotions made from cannabis would probably have helped him
That a popular myth holds that “the right lotions” would have helped doesn’t make it true.
There is no such thing as ‘alternative medicine’; The word for ‘alternative medicine that actually works’ is just ‘medicine’. If cannabis cured or even treated cancer, we would have evidence beyond the random musings of pot-heads on internet fora.
Cannabis treats cancer just as effectively as homeopathy or acupuncture - that is, NOT AT ALL. Belief isn’t evidence. Popularity isn’t evidence. Evidence is evidence, and the absence of evidence is deafening.Apoptosis: How Cannabis Causes Cancer Cell Death | Arbors Wellness

Study Reviews How Marijuana Compounds Inhibit Tumor Growth And Kill Cancer Cells
A recent scientific review concludes that marijuana’s legal status should be revisited given existing research that shows cannabis’s components can inhibit tumor growth and help with cancer management. Researchers at Amity University in India detailed the scientific literature surrounding the...www.marijuanamoment.net
Should I keep listing?
I advised you research, you probably did none.
If you think that these three sources are of similar reliability, then it’s not surprising that you are committed to believing something that’s popular but untrue.
If you think that any of them are actual scientific papers describing properly conducted clinical trials, then you are unqualified to have an opinion on this subject at all.
You and I are both in the position of having done no research whatsoever here - unless you’re part of a clinical trial team, and haven’t mentioned it. What you are incorrectly calling “research” is actually a review of the research done by others; And the critical element of such a review is the ability to eliminate from it those claims that are not unequivocally backed by actual research.
The existence of other people who share your faith isn’t evidence in support of your faith.
So how does it work then? I always thought you make a claim, then you back it up.
I have listed sources to back myself up, where's yours?
Which I have done.
You are making a claim, so you have the burden of demonstrating it’s veracity. You have not yet done so, so you are still making an unfounded claim. I don’t need to do jack shit other than wait for you to substantiate your claim; Until you do that, I am completely justified in rejecting your claim.
That’s how it goes.
Any other approach would require me to believe every half-baked claim about anything. Which would be insane.
