Not so much.
While marijuana advocates will surely praise the discovery, Desprez explained that it's not so easy as just lighting up.

"We used injections in the animal testing and are also testing pills," he said. "But you could never get enough Cannabidiol for it to be effective just from smoking."


I'm fucking astonished that it's still a Schedule I drug. In case you were wondering, the rules for being classified as such are...
The drug or other substance has a high potential for abuse.

The drug or other substance has no currently accepted medical use in treatment in the United States.

There is a lack of accepted safety for use of the drug or other substance under medical supervision.
Emphasis mine. I guess cancer doesn't count.
