For a brief time earlier this month, the National Cancer Institute, a branch of the federal government's National Institutes of Health, had posted a webpage touting the possible benefits of marijuana in fighting cancer tumors. But less than two weeks after it went up, the webpage was altered and the approving words stricken. The webpage, added to Cancer.gov's "alternative medicine" section this month, is still there, and still says marijuana has "potential benefits" for treating symptoms of cancer - a groundbreaking assertion for a government-affiliated organization.

The coffee enemas did not help. The massage did.
