Hemp Oil/was Re: Alternative Cancer Treatment Folklore

[Guest guest]

Slavek,

To add to this thread, hemp oil, the kind that is commercially sold, is made

from hemp plants with extremely minute levels of THC is not the same as the hemp

oil that Rick Simpson is promoting. The process in its mfg. is very different.

Best regards

Guy
