Medical Use - Science based testing from the Cancer Council.

There is no current evidence that cannabis or cannabinoids are effective at inhibiting tumour growth or to treat or cure cancer in humans. In addition, there is no current evidence that cannabis or cannabinoids reduce risk or prevent cancer occurrence or promote good health
There is some evidence that cannabis and cannabinoids in controlled delivery may have a benefit to cancer patients where conventional treatments are unsuccessful in providing relief in the following areas:
for relieving nausea and vomiting in patients undergoing chemotherapy;
as an adjunctive analgesic in patients with moderate to severe pain; and/or
as an appetite stimulant for patients experiencing weight loss and muscle wasting.
Evidence from randomised, controlled trials is required to evaluate the impact of cannabis and cannabinoid products on cancer and side effects of chemotherapy
Smoking the cannabis plant is a particularly harmful route of administration, largely because carcinogenic substances are inhaled into the lungs and cannabinoid levels present in the natural plant are unpredictable
The side effects and unpredictable levels of cannabinoids delivered through smoking marijuana and use of the whole plant product make it inappropriate for therapeutic use
Synthetic cannabis and natural cannabinoid extract products, particularly nabiximols delivered via an oral spray, offer advantages in providing symptom relief without harmful psychological or tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) related effects
Synthetic cannabis and natural cannabinoid extract products delivered via an oral spray is a preferable route of administration for anti-emetic therapy
Medicinal products containing cannabis or cannabinoids are not prohibited in Australia. However, there are currently no products approved by the Therapeutic Goods Administration to alleviate the side effects of cancer and chemotherapy
Cancer Council Australia and the Clinical Oncology Society of Australia welcome research into the potential benefits of cannabis and cannabinoids for cancer patients

As for cannabis being non violent,

The first four states to legalize marijuana for recreational use were Colorado and Washington in 2014 and Alaska and Oregon in 2015. Combined, those four states had about 450 murders and 30,300 aggravated assaults in 2013. In 2017, they had almost 620 murders and 38,000 aggravated assaults—an increase far greater than the national average.

Source?

Taylor and the WAFC commissioners are maybe a good source - after all their word is gospel, gospel plays a huge role in those states so who knows.
If they had more ethic on the training track, better culture and immersed themselves in more bar raising it wouldn't have come to this!

Agree 110%. A very good mate of mine in the UK went through the cancer diagnosis with his wife. They weren’t happy with the medical people, so His son bought heaps of the stuff and made the oil for her. Today, she is fully clean and cleared without “official” remedies.
Read and say what you want Baz, but I among MANY believe that it is a cure for many cancers. Maybe more than that if we could trial it on other diseases.

I was asking about a source (for Bazza's interesting claims) - not whether you had been on the sauce.
