What the studies found
CBD (cannabidiol) has been studied for Lung cancer in animals, not yet in people.
We found 21 published papers on CBD (cannabidiol) and Lung cancer. They were published between 2010 and 2026.
0 of them are studies in people (0 randomised trials), 3 are reviews, 10 are studies in animals and 4 are studies only in the lab.
The most important ones are listed under Sources.
What this means for you: Results in animals or in cells often do not hold in people. Do not stop or change your medicines because of it. Ask your doctor before you start taking it.
