Since the CBD has a little THC, it connects to the CB1 or CB2 cannabinoid receptor site on the cancer cell which induces an increase in ceramide synthesis that leads to the cell death because a normal cell does not produce ceramide when it is near THC. So the presence of ceramde leaves no possibility of cancer survival in the body because it causes a genotoxic stress in the cancer cell that generates a protein called p53 which disrupts the calcium metabolism and also the cell’s digestive system that produces nutrients for all cell function and actively inhibits pro-survival pathways. So, the accumulation of ceramide in the body kills cancer so by taking any amount of CBD and THC at a steady rate, the cancer cells will be stampled on.
