class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h1>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"THC_cannabis_and_cancer\"><\/span>THC, cannabis and cancer<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h1>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is THC<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">THC, or tetrahydrocannabinol, is the primary psychoactive compound in the cannabis plant. It is responsible for the euphoric effects often associated with marijuana use. THC binds to cannabinoid receptors in the brain and affects various functions, including mood, memory, pain, and appetite. In addition to its psychoactive properties, THC also has medical uses, including relief of pain, nausea, and loss of appetite, making it an important component in medical cannabis [9, 10, 11].<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">THC interacts with our body&#8217;s own endocannabinoid system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">THC has shown promising results in some studies regarding cancer treatment [5, 7, 8, 16].<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_difference_between_THC_and_CBD\"><\/span>The difference between THC and CBD<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many confuse THC with CBD (Cannabidiol). Both substances are from the cannabis plant, but they have very different properties:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"THC\"><\/span>THC<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Psychoactive, gives the &#8220;high,&#8221; has pain-relieving and appetite-stimulating properties. Additionally, there are examples of cancer-inhibiting effects [5, 7, 8, 16].<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"CBD\"><\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/jegharkraeft.dk\/en\/cbd-oil\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">CBD<\/a><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Non-psychoactive, has anti-inflammatory, pain-relieving, and anxiety-reducing properties [9, 10, 11].<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Medical_use_of_THC\"><\/span>Medical use of THC<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Due to THC&#8217;s properties, it has the potential to be used medically to treat a range of conditions, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Pain perception<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">THC can interact with the body&#8217;s endocannabinoid system and reduce pain, which can be a significant benefit for cancer patients. THC can relieve both physical and neuropathic pain [9, 10, 11].<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Nausea and vomiting<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">THC can help reduce nausea and vomiting caused by chemotherapy [9, 10, 11].<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Appetite disorders<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For patients who have lost their appetite due to cancer or treatment, THC can stimulate the appetite. For example, in cancer [9, 10, 11].<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Sleep problems<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">THC can help regulate sleep patterns [9, 10, 11].<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Improved quality of life<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By reducing symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and pain, THC can improve patients&#8217; quality of life [9, 10, 11].<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Mood<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">THC can affect mood and induce feelings of euphoria and relaxation [9, 10, 11].<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Tumor growth inhibition<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some studies suggest that THC can inhibit the growth of certain types of cancer cells [5, 7, 8, 16].<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Multiple sclerosis<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">THC can also relieve symptoms such as spasticity and pain [9, 10, 11].<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Side effects<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Compared to some traditional cancer treatments, THC generally has far fewer &#8211; or almost no &#8211; serious side effects [9, 10, 11].<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Disadvantages_of_THC\"><\/span>Disadvantages of THC<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Lack of regulation<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The legislation surrounding medical cannabis varies greatly from country to country, which can make it difficult for patients to access safe and standardized products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This was supposed to be addressed by the trial scheme in Denmark. But due to doctors&#8217; extreme reluctance to prescribe cannabis &#8211; combined with the high financial price of medical cannabis &#8211; this has so far been a disappointing initiative [1, 4, 14].<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many patients are thus still relegated to the black market, where the quality of cannabis is difficult to control and penalties for selling and buying cannabis have been drastically tightened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Psychoactive effects<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">THC can cause euphoria and other psychoactive effects, which are certainly not desirable for all patients. However, this can be partially addressed by dispensing cannabis in capsules that are used rectally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Limited research<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Although there are promising results, there is still a need for more research to fully understand THC&#8217;s potential and risks regarding cancer treatment. And this research has limited financial interest, so it is dragging on [5, 7, 8, 16].<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Interaction with other medication<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">THC can interact with other medication, which can affect its effectiveness [9, 10, 11].<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Recreational use<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Recreational use of cannabis with THC is illegal in many countries, but the legislation is constantly evolving [12, 13].<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Special precautions: Cannabis and heart disease<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A often overlooked, but critical side effect of THC is its potential impact on the cardiovascular system. For people with existing heart disease, the use of cannabis may pose a significant risk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Impact on pulse and heart rhythm:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>THC can cause tachycardia (rapid pulse) and palpitations shortly after ingestion. In less robust individuals, especially those with known heart rhythm disorders (arrhythmias) such as atrial fibrillation, this can potentially worsen the condition.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Strain on the heart:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The increased heart rate strains the heart muscle. For patients with, for example, calcification in the coronary arteries or a history of blood clots in the heart, this extra strain can increase the risk of acute events.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Therefore, it is crucial that cancer patients who have or have had a heart disease exercise great caution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Consideration of using cannabis as a supplement to cancer treatment should especially for cardiovascular patients be discussed with a qualified healthcare provider who can weigh the possible benefits against the potential cardiovascular risks for the individual.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion\"><\/span>Conclusion<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">THC is a complex substance with both medical and recreational uses. THC has shown potential as a complementary treatment for cancer patients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">THC has meant great gains for many cancer patients. Not least during chemotherapy, but also for terminal patients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is important to be aware that THC can have both desired and undesired effects, and that the legislation around THC is complex and constantly changing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is an unfortunate situation that many are relegated to the black market to get medication that greatly improves their lives. While others experience that THC is directly life-saving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.horstedinstitute.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Specialist Tina Horsted<\/a><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A special thanks to Tina Horsted, who is a pioneer in the use of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.horstedinstitute.com\/medicinsk-cannabis\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">medical cannabis<\/a> and a great advocate for its spread [1, 2, 3, 4].<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Specialist Tina Horsted makes a great and commendable effort for cancer and pain patients&#8217; access to cannabis, both through research and by raising awareness of the issue in the press.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 id=\"tablepress-99-name\" class=\"tablepress-table-name tablepress-table-name-id-99\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Medical_cannabis_in_cancer\"><\/span>Medical cannabis in cancer<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n<table id=\"tablepress-99\" class=\"tablepress tablepress-id-99\" aria-labelledby=\"tablepress-99-name\">\n<thead>\n<tr class=\"row-1\">\n\t<th class=\"column-1\">Situation \/ Symptom<\/th><th class=\"column-2\">Recommended Form (Product)<\/th><th class=\"column-3\">Active Compound (Part of Plant)<\/th><th class=\"column-4\">Effect &amp; Purpose<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody class=\"row-striping row-hover\">\n<tr class=\"row-2\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">Appetite loss without euphoria<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">Oil or Capsules<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">CBG (Cannabigerol)<\/td><td class=\"column-4\">Stimulates appetite directly without the &#8220;high&#8221; or intoxication associated with THC.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-3\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">Pain with gastrointestinal issues<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">Oil<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">CBG + CBD<\/td><td class=\"column-4\">Synergy that specifically reduces inflammation in the intestinal wall and reduces cramps in the digestive system.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-4\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">Neuropathy (Supplementary)<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">Oil or Mouth spray<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">THC + CBD + CBG<\/td><td class=\"column-4\">CBG can enhance the neuroprotective effect and help regenerate nerve cells after chemotherapy (neuroprotection).<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-5\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">Acute nausea (e.g., right after chemo)<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">Dried flower (Vaporizer\/Inhalation)<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">THC (Tetrahydrocannabinol)<\/td><td class=\"column-4\">Works within 5-10 minutes.
