FDA Warns Against Marijuana ‘Cancer Cures’ Companies ‘Duping Customers With False Promises’
LAS VEGAS, NV - JULY 06: Marijuana plants are grown at Essence Vegas' 54,000-square-foot marijuana cultivation facility on July 6, 2017 in Las Vegas, Nevada. On July 1, Nevada joined seven other states allowing recreational marijuana use and became the first of four states that voted to legalize recreational sales in November's election to allow dispensaries to sell cannabis for recreational use to anyone over 21. Since July 1, sales of cannabis products in the state have generated more than USD 1 million in tax revenue.
The FDA is cracking down on marijuana products marketed as cancer cures.
The FDA sent a letter to four companies, slamming their unfounded claims that patients can treat life-threatening tumors– and even prevent Alzheimer’s by using cannabis oils and creams.
The agency says the deceptive marketing of unproven treatments may keep some patients from accessing appropriate treatment that could actually help them.
