Cannabis Strains For Pancreatic Cancer

Cannabis Strains for Pancreatic Cancer Patients from CannabisNet on Vimeo.

Pancreatic cancer is the 9th most common cancer affecting women, and is the 4th leading cause of death. It is also one of the most aggressive types of cancers that has a low survival rate because it’s difficult to diagnose. It’s estimated that 85% of pancreatic cancer cases already have metastasized to other parts of the body especially the liver, lungs, and lymph nodes.

Studies show that the cannabinoids in cannabis, especially THC, is beneficial in preventing the growth of pancreatic tumors. The studies also revealed that cannabinoids induce aptosis (cell death) among tumor cells, while keeping normal pancreatic cells healthy. Cannabinoids can also prevent the spread of pancreatic cancer cells to nearby organs and tissues, improving the overall prognosis of cancer patients.

These are the best strains for helping you manage the symptoms of pancreatic cancer treatment and inhibit cancer growth:

Afghan Kush is renowned for its medicinal purposes, as well as its ability to help patients relax despite the stress and depression a cancer diagnosis may bring. Many consider this high-THC strain to be the best type of indica in the market, delivering a deeply sedated high. Afghan Kush is recommended for pancreatic cancer patients suffering not just from insomnia but also depression and lack of appetite, as this strain will induce the munchies. This strain is known for a strong body high as opposed to a head high, making it an excellent choice for evening medication.

Trainwreck is a potent sativa hybrid that will have you feeling like a train just hit you – but in a good way. Its highly cerebral effects make it the strain of choice for patients suffering from headaches, depression, and stress as an effect of cancer or cancer treatment. Trainwreck is also widely recognized for its powerful painkilling properties, as well as its ability to induce a euphoric and relaxed high. If creative pursuits are therapeutic for you, Trainwreck can help elevate the whole experience while healing both body and mind.

Green Crack may sound funny, but don’t take its therapeutic benefits lightly. This strain is well loved among cancer patients because it’s extremely effective in lifting brain fog, allowing you to think more clearly while staving off depression and stress. Green Crack’s effects are typical of sativa strains, but patients appreciate this strain’s ability to treat lack of appetite, fatigue, and pain. Many users report that Green Crack leaves them with an incredible sense of euphoria as well as increased energy and feelings of happiness.

Stephen Hawking Kush is a genius strain that takes its name after the legendary prodigy. Stephen Hawking Kush is a high CBD strain indica dominant hybrid that boasts of up to as much as 22% CBD, ideal for pancreatic cancer patients who want to feel little or no high while still enjoying its medicinal benefits. This strain is also recommended for patients who are prone to suffering from nausea or paranoia, both of which are common side effects experienced when smoking a very potent strain. Stephen Hawking Kush delivers a mellow, uplifting cerebral high before it settles into the body, allowing you to gradually ease into a relaxing and blissful buzz.

Canna-Tsu is another great hybrid strain that delivers a mellow high with strong mental clarity. One of the aspects that makes this strain unique is that it has an almost 1:1 THC: CBD ratio, which is the ideal ratio for treating a wide range of disorders including pancreatic cancer. Additionally, the 1:1 THC:CBD ratio of this strain makes it beneficial for a wide number of ailments, including several that may be suffered by cancer patients such as nausea, stress, and depression; all without a psychoactive high. These optimal concentrations offer the best experience possible, so this should be your go-to strain if you aren’t sure that you can handle the effects of THC but need some healing from within. Canna-Tsu also has fast-acting properties, delivers a mind-energizing buzz, and an overall calm feeling. No significant side effects have been reported with this strain yet.
