Although the researchers do not know why THC inhibits tumor growth, they say
the substance could be activating molecules that arrest the cell cycle. They
speculate that THC may also interfere with angiogenesis and vascularization,
which promotes cancer growth.


Have the researchers not heard of terpenes??

Plant alkaloids and terpenoids (L01C)
These alkaloids are derived from plants and block cell division by preventing microtubule function. Microtubules are vital for cell division and without them it can not occur. The main examples are vinca alkaloids and taxanes.
