About four years ago, Spanish researchers discovered that an ingredient in marijuana may be useful for treating brain tumours. Apparently, the cannabinoids in marijuana could starve tumours to death by halting the growth of the blood vessels that feed into them. Studies were done on mice and a couple of humans, with much success. I haven't seen any further research on this, but it does sound promising.
