   Sorry, I don't see the irony.   
      
   Also, I've never seen any claims that THC cures leukemia.  Cannabis may help   
   in remission of leukemia in some people, but I haven't seen enough studies to   
   know how likely that is.   
      
   I do know there is research that indicates some components of cannabis (I   
   don't think it is THC) can shrink some cancer tumors, though.
