“Cannabinoids were shown to induce apoptosis of glioma cells in vitro and tumor regression in vivo…
… we suggest that the increase of proapoptotic Bad activity is an important link between the inhibition of survival pathways and an onset of execution phase of cannabinoid-induced glioma cell death.” http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15451022

“Remarkably, cannabinoids kill glioma cells selectively and can protect non-transformed glial cells from death.” http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15275820
