Rick Simpson - known as the man who cured his own cancer, and soon to be known as the man who rediscovered the cure for cancer by everyone.
Rick's voyage to finding the cure for tumor begins in 2003. In 2003 Rick was diagnosed with basal cell carcinoma skin cancer. He had 3 spots of malignancy on his body. 2 all over and 1 on his neck. Rick's choice on the most proficient method to deal with this finding would be world evolving.
After not having much fortune with surgery Rick chose to try something else. For just about a year Rick had been extracting the oil from the cannabis plant and ingesting it orally. He had been taking the oil for other well being reasons, yet the disease finding helped him to remember something and gave him a thought. He recalled a radio feature he heard very nearly 30 years prior. The radio feature had expressed that the University of Virginia had discovered the cannabinoid in cannabis THC could kill the disease in mice. He assumed that in the event that it shrunk tumors in mice it would execute his growth as well.
Rick's decision was to apply cannabis oil to his skin cancer. He applied his cannabis oil to some bandages and put them on the skin cancer. After 4 days of waiting he decided it was time to see if anything had happened under the bandages. To Rick's surprise the cancer was gone. His cannabis oil had cured his cancer.
For years, Rick Simpson has spread his message that cannabis can be used to treat different types of cancer, working as an activist and giving away free samples. He hosts talks spreading information for the sick, who can use it to treat themselves if the legality issue doesn't bother you.

Although the technique used to make cannabis oil has been well known for quite a long time. Rick has taught people to reduce the plant matter in a solvent solution (e.g. alcohol), concentrating the cannabinoids to make “Rick Simpson Oil.”
A little bit of history:
2737 B.C. According to Chinese legend, Emperor Shen Neng was one of the first major leaders in the ancient world to officially prescribe marijuana tea to treat various illnesses — including gout, rheumatism, malaria, and poor memory, according to Understanding Marijuana: A New Look at the Scientific Evidence.
The early Chinese surgeon Hua Tuo (c. 140-208) is credited with being the first recorded person to use cannabis as an anesthetic. He reduced the plant to powder and mixed it with wine for administration prior to conducting surgery. The Chinese term for "anesthesia" (mázui 麻醉) literally means "cannabis intoxication".
Elizabeth Wayland Barber says the Chinese evidence "proves a knowledge of the narcotic properties of Cannabis
at least from the 1st millennium B.C." when ma was already used in a secondary meaning of "numbness; senseless." "Such a strong drug, however, suggests that the Chinese pharmacists had now obtained from far to the southwest not THC-bearing Cannabis sativa but Cannabis indica, so strong it knocks you out cold.
