If the claim about using hemp oil is true, not much.
Why don't they make it legal for people to try it (hemp oil). If they would like to treat themselves. The worse case problem is they would die anyhow. With all the side effects on the medicine you’re getting from doctors. I would rather take my chances with hemp oil as reported about in this thread
The drug companies make a ton of money from chemotherapy. Someone can use a treatment for a while. But if you cure it, then it is gone and so are the profits.

Andrew Wiel, M.D. says
A second question that people may ask is, "Is hemp oil illegal?" The oil itself is perfectly legal. Hemp seeds are allowed in commerce if they have been sterilized in some way to prevent germination. This is usually done by subjecting them to heat. At the moment, the Ohio Hempery is importing sterilized seeds from Canada and extracting the oil here, but it hopes to get some sort of exemption from this requirement in order to be able to use the freshest seeds possible in the future.
I think that it is the leaves and flowers of the plant that are illegal since they are the only parts that contain the PCB.
