Can Cannabis kill cancer cells? MCBT raises money to fund independent clinical trial

Submitted by Marijuana News on Thu, 06/11/2015 - 08:00

European non-for-profit organisation Medical Cannabis Bike Tour (MCBT) is launching a crowdfunding campaign on Walacea to finance an independent trial that investigates the effectiveness of cannabinoids (the active compounds in cannabis, CBD and THC) as a treatment for patients diagnosed with brain tumours.

By hosting an annual bike ride through Europe, MCBT has raised €200,000 since 2012 to help fund an independent clinical trial on 30 to 40 brain cancer patients in Spanish hospitals. From June 11th to 13th, 80 people will ride 420 kilometres through Belgium, Germany and Holland, with hopes to raise a further €280,000.

“We are all about changing perceptions of cannabis through the use of sport and the promotion of the plant’s medical potential … We hope this trial will make history for the profit of people not corporations,” said Luc Krol from MCBT.
