I've also never heard of OD via ingestion until this post.

Both sides are amping up their support. Cannabis hasn't undergone any successful clinical trials, that I'm aware of, that show it is effective in fighting cancer. Evidence of that is largely anecdotal. Cannabis doesn't appear to noticeably increase risk of lung or throat cancers, but has been clinically shown to increase the risk of testicular cancer.

As with most things that seriously polarize debate people tend to hype what supports their side, while outright lying about the other side. If the evidence isn't clinical, or doesn't compare something meaningful, then it isn't evidence.

*EDIT* By the way a search for that patent number yields many results on Google, while an actual search of the patent office records shows nothing.
