A new review of studies done in Europe is casting doubt on the ability of marijuana to truly address cancer pain
"Yup, life's a tradeoff," Susan Sarandon tells co-star Julia Roberts while smoking weed in the 1998 tearjerker"Step Mom." In the film, Sarandon plays a woman dying of cancer while struggling to accept leaving her kids to the much younger, much hipper woman her ex-husband married.
"It's finally legal to smoke dope, but you've got to have cancer," Sarandon says, exhaling a puff of smoke.Like many people suffering with cancer, Sarandon's character used weed to ease some of the pain of her disease and the nausea that treatment often brings.
More research on the role of cannabis in cancer is greatly needed, Lichtenfeld said, but added that this new analysis of randomized controlled trials provides"good evidence that cannabis is not a game changer." "It's not a magic drug that is suddenly going to change the face of cancer pain for many cancer patients," he said.
