I disagree. There are dozens of peer-reviewed papers published on the efficacy of cannabis extracts killing cancer cells in vitro.

If you search for

cannabis oil cured my cancer
(no quotes)

you come up with over 60 million hits, the majority of them are reports from patients and oncologists about their personal experience using cannabis to cure or treat cancer. There are diaries with photographs taken over the course of the treatment showing
basal cell carcinoma
lesions disappear over the course of 4-6 weeks. I'm talking deep, ugly, black, open sores that gradually vanish without a trace.

I know two people, one whose case was documented in the media, who cured prostrate cancer using Simpson's oil. It was confirmed by medical tests, in one case his PSA went from over 10 to 3 in 8 weeks. (normal PSA in men without prostate cancer is <4).

I also know many cancer survivors who used cannabis to cure their cancer and have remained cancer free.

Every day it seems there is more evidence coming forth. Just a few days ago I saw a cat scan of infant with a brain tumor who was given CBD and the tumor shrunk to nothing.

Here's a link to an article with photos showing the results of 35 days of oil on basal cell carcinoma.

Cannabis has many medical properties, and we should be looking to these for alternatives to chemical based medicines.
Define medical properties, as it is not a scientific term, nor acceptable if you wish to offer the active ingredient of cannabis as a safe pharmaceutical.
If you wish to claim that there are "beneficial" applications, then you can only speculate, as the "benefits" have not been established. Sorry, but that's the truth.
Try as they might, the proponents of medical cannabis are unable to provide actual definitive evidence that supports the active ingredient of cannabis as a safe and effective pharmaceutical. Despite all the pseudo scientific claims that cannabis provides various medical benefits, not one legitimate, responsible researcher can prove the claim.

In respect to your suggesting that "alternatives" be used to chemical based medicines, your choice of words is inappropriate because you fail to recognize that it is the chemical properties of a substance that produces its effect. In ancient times, bark of the willow tree was boiled to produce salicylic acid, the active metabolite. It was used for fever reduction and pain relief. It is for all intents and purposes a chemical. Unfortunately, there would not be enough willow tree bark on earth to meet the needs of the active ingredient users in any given week today. Fortunately, Bayer was able to synthesize the compound used in the drug commonly called aspirin. Almost the entire world's source of synthesized active ingredient comes from China. There are inadequate source materials for "alternative" drugs. If one wanted to use alternative "natural" methods, one would not put a dent in the daily medication needs of humanity. it is impossible.
