I just can't make up my mind on what I should do... I need some advice...

Basically, I'm enrolled in a course called Biology of Cancer and it's a great course, I love it. My professor its such a cool and funny guy and seems very laid back and nice...

Part of the requirements to pass the course is to give a 10 minute presentation to the class about some cutting-edge journal article pertaining to cancer. It has to be recent (within the last 3 years) and has to be very specific subject-wise.

I did a bunch of research and found great information stating that THC actually has anti-carcinogenic properties! It has so many medicinal uses that could help so many people that I am amazed that I never made the effort to find this information before now!

1. THC actually binds and stimulates apoptosis of cells that are replicating the Human Papillomavirus and cancerous cells of the prostate via cannabinoid receptors.

2. THC can act as an agonist and activate cell death of human glioblastoma multiforme (GBM)... these are tumors of the brain!

3. THC has been proven to actually inhibit angiogenesis of most types of human gliomas.

I want so bad to present this as my topic but I'm afraid people will pass judgement.
I'm even more afraid of what this professor may think since I plan to do post-bacc work and may want to work in his lab in the future. This is a small class of around 25 so I'm scared that I will stick out as the guy that smokes pot.
On the other hand, I know that i could make one fuckin hell of a presentation if i knew that people would take it seriously...
So I'm contemplating emailing my professor and sending him these links to some journal articles and asking him to read and assess them... then he can tell me if he thinks its a good choice or not. But I'm not sure if i should email him or just forget about the whole thing and choose another topic...
