Global Ganja Report

Dr. Jean Colombera, Green party deputy in Luxembourg, has launched a campaign to legalize cannabis in the European statelet after discovering that it can be used to treat tumors. Colombera, a well-known supporter of medicinal cannabis, said that his research team can demonstrate that an extract from a non-psychoactive variety grown in Luxembourg helps to dissolve brain tumor cells.

Colombera said he supports decriminalizing the plant to allow for greater medical research, adding, "Luxembourg has a significant role to play as a central hub with strong partners from Israel, California and Great Britain." (Station.lu, Feb. 11)
