First federal agency to acknowledge medical marijuana removes anti-tumor information from database

By Kyle Daly | 03.29.11 | 11:44 am

Now, NCI has altered the page, removing any mention of the evidence that marijuana can diminish and even reverse tumor growth.

2. As predicted by nearly the entire internet.

Too late DEA.
