It think it depends on how it is used. As a medicinal plant,
like mushrooms, marijuana can help a lot of people, much more
than most pharmaceuticals. And while we shouldn't encourage
recreational usage, it is certainly preferable to tobacco and
alcoholic substances.

Case study: Can CBD oil shrink lung cancer tumors?
--- Quote ---
> A case study links daily use of cannabidiol (CBD) oil with
lung cancer regression in a woman in her 80s who refused
conventional treatment.
> Researchers cannot definitively confirm that CBD oil caused
tumor reduction.
> [quote] More research is necessary to define the mechanism
of action, effects on different types of cancer, adverse
reactions, and optimal dosage and routes of administration.

Cannabinoids are chemical compounds presentTrusted Source in the
Cannabis sativa (C. sativa) plant. Some people use cannabis
therapeutically to treat seizures, pain, inflammation, spasms,
and anxiety.
CBD and delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) are the two major
cannabinoids present in the cannabis plant. However, CBD does
not produce a euphoric feeling, or “high,” that people associate
with cannabis use.
CBD oil is a concentrated extract derived from cannabis leaves
or flowers dissolved in a consumable oil, such as olive, hemp,
or sunflower oil. There are different types of CBD oil
containing various concentrations of cannabinoids.
CBD isolates contain CBD alone. Full-spectrum CBD products
contain compounds from all parts of the C. sativa plant, with
less than 0.3% THC.
Broad-spectrum CBD products include most of the same compounds
as full-spectrum ones but only trace amounts of THC.
Full- and broad-spectrum products may produce greater clinical
effects than CBD isolates due to the entourage effect — the
combination of cannabinoids has a more pronounced impact than
individual ones.
Cannabinoids interact with the body’s internal cannabinoid
system, which experts call endocannabinoid system. This system
modulates:
nerve function
appetite
metabolism
pain
emotions
inflammation
immune response
sleep
Currently, some people with cancer may use cannabinoids for
supportive care to treat pain and chemotherapy-related nausea
and vomiting.
Progressive tumor reduction
Doctors in the United Kingdom recently published an article in
the journal BMJ Case Reports. The case report describes a woman
in her 80s with lung cancer who experienced tumor regression
while taking CBD oil.
She also has a history of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease,
high blood pressure, and osteoarthritis and received medications
to treat these conditions.
The woman reported smoking just over a pack of cigarettes per
week, or 68 packs per year, before and after diagnosis. In June
and July 2018, doctors examined the woman, which included a CT
scan, a PET scan, an MRI scan, and a biopsy, to stage and
confirm the diagnosis.
The doctors reached a diagnosis of stage IIBTrusted Source
non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The initial CT scan showed a
41-millimeter (mm), or 1.6-inch (in), nodule in the middle
lobeTrusted Source of the woman’s right lung.
Testing revealed no lymph node involvement or metastases, which
is when cancer spreads to other parts of the body. For this
reason, the doctors recommended curative treatment.
Treatment for NSCLC may include surgery, radiofrequency
ablationTrusted Source, chemotherapy, targeted therapy, and
immunotherapy.
The doctors repeated the chest CT scan in September 2018, which
showed a reduction of the right middle lobe cancer to 33 mm (1.3
in), and two new nodules in the left apex and right upper lobe.
The woman declined surgical removal of the lobe due to the risks
of surgery. She also declined treatment with radiofrequency
ablation because of the side effects that her late husband had
experienced from radiation therapy.
The doctors decided to monitor the patient, conducting CT scans
every 3–6 months. During the 2.5-year follow-up period, CT scans
showed a progressive decrease of the initial right middle lobe
nodule from 41 mm (1.6 in) in June 2018 to 10 mm (0.4 in) in
February 2021.
At this time, the woman revealed she started taking CBD oil at a
dose of 0.5 milliliters orally three times daily, and
occasionally twice daily, shortly after her diagnosis.
The active ingredients specified by the supplier were THC
(19.5%), CBD (20.05%), and tetrahydrocannabinolic acid (23.8%).
Upon the supplier’s advice, the woman did not take the CBD oil
with hot food or drinks, because she wanted to avoid “feeling
stoned.” She reported decreased appetite while taking CBD oil.
The woman did not change her diet, lifestyle, or prescribed
medications during this time. She also reported continuing to
smoke one pack of cigarettes per week during the surveillance
period.[/quote]

California Pot Companies Warn of Impending Industry Collapse
--- Quote ---
> Leading California cannabis companies warned Gov. Gavin Newsom
on Friday that the state’s legal industry was on the verge of
collapse and needed immediate tax cuts and a rapid expansion of
retail outlets to steady the shaky marketplace.
>
> The letter signed by more than two dozen executives, industry
officials and legalization advocates followed years of
complaints that the heavily taxed and regulated industry was
unable to compete with the widespread illegal economy, where
consumer prices are far lower and sales are double or triple the
legal business.
>
> Four years after broad legal sales began, “our industry is
collapsing,” said the letter, which also was sent to legislative
leaders in Sacramento.

According to some decriminalization would have been much better
for farmers than legalization has been. I have had a psychedelic
mushroom grower tell me the same in regards to magic mushrooms.

> A new laboratory study reveals CBD oil could help prevent
Covid-19 infection or help fight it. The University of Chicago
team of researchers did not say it works in patients but say it
“made a strong case for a clinical trial.” One of the
researchers, Professor Glenn Randall, joins Ari Melber.

If we've learned anything from cannabis legalization in
California, decriminalization would have been better for
cannabis farmers than legalization was.
Germany waters down plan to legalize Cannabis following EU
concerns | DW News
--- Quote ---
> The German government has announced plans to allow the
possession of up to 25 grams (just under 0.9 ounces) of
cannabis, and the cultivation of a maximum of three plants at
home.
> The previous plan, which would have allowed cannabis to be
sold in licensed stores nationwide, has been revised following
concerns from the EU.
> The legislation would allow for the commercial distribution of
cannabis only under special circumstances in so-called clubs, as
presented by Health Minister Karl Lauterbach and Agriculture
Minister Cem Özdemir.
> "The previous cannabis policy has failed. Now we have to go
new ways," Lauterbach said.
