Pinene Terpenes found in Pine needles and Cannabis reduce Cancer

I think maybe this is the reason every country in the World is now making Cannabis Legal.

It is probably the Cure for Cancer ....

A 2013 study revealed that pinene reduced cancer tumor size and that it acts as a antioxidative and anti-cancer agent. A 2014 study of alpha-pinene derived from pine needle oil found that it was an effective anti-cancer medication. The study concluded:

“Taken together, these findings indicate that α-pinene may be useful as a potential anti-tumor drug.”
Probably the most significant result of the limited research conducted to date is that pinene — and all terpenes — act in a synergistic manner with other terpenes, as well as cannabinoids like THC, to provide medicinal efficacy for those suffering from a wide range of diseases, especially cancer. Of course, more studies are necessary before doctors and budtenders can begin recommending cannabis strains high in pinene for such ailments.

That's cool that the terpenes are as medicinal as the cannabinoids. I dab a lot, I should get a little bit more bud in my life for full spectrum terpenes.
