Can marijuana rid a wart?

After ignoring the non-cancerous wart on my foot for several years now I decided to treat it with cannabis oil, also known as Rick Simpson oil. Since the wart was not obvious, did not hurt and mainly because I really did not want a ‘procedure’ to remove it, I endured with it.

That is until I got a hold of some cannabis oil last month and began applying it topically to the wart. Of course this treatment was done at night due the ‘high’ the medicine gave me.

After 8 days of constant application I can see no visible sign of reduction and will now opt for the knife. While it may work for some, I found no evidence that the highest concentration of the medicine can remove a wart, or fear it would take so long that I could not handle it.
