Medical marijuana does a lot more than just enable people to eat when they don't want to. Research now shows that marijuana's active ingredient, THC, or tetrahydrocannabinol, blocks a known cancer-related protein that's already the target of drugs such as ImClone System Inc.'s Erbitux and Amgen Inc.'s Vectibix.
