Key Findings:  This study of triple-negative breast cancer cells found that two phytocannabinoids, cannabidiol and cannabichromene, and 2 caryophyllane sesquiterpenes, had anti-cancer activity against these cells and findings suggest that phytocannabinoids and terpenes may play a role in these anti-cancer effects and warrant further research.
