Researchers from the University of Alcala, in Madrid tested the effects of the active chemicals in cannabis called cannabinoids on three human prostate cancer cell lines - called PC-3, DU-a45 and LNCaP.
The prostate cancer cells carry molecular 'garages'- called receptors- in which cannabinoids can 'park'.
The scientists showed for the first time that if cannabinoids 'park' on a receptor called CB2, the cancer cells stop multipyling.
