Here are some of the best research articles, abstracts, news stories and other references you will find on cannabis and lung cancer on the Internet. What follows is the items listed under ‘Lung Cancer’ in Granny Storm Crow’s MMJ Reference List (January 2012). The author, Granny Storm Crow, has spent the better part of a lifetime collecting and sharing objective cannabis research and information. In her own words:

“It is time for us to demand a change in the laws on cannabis! We must keep telling the truth, keep presenting the facts to our friends and our families. The facts are there in PubMed- cannabis IS medicine! Our government lies to us about cannabis! And folks-

If the truth won’t do, then something is wrong!” – Granny Storm Crow
