Because if the synthetic helped her when she was so weak and, basically, we were losing her, then legalizing pure marijuana for medical purposes makes sense to me because the synthetic is still a cannabinoid based on cannibas and, according to what I’ve read, the synthetic has more risk and side effects.
The observation is simply that if it is helpful for helping cancer patients with their appetites - and it is or else a synthetic wouldn’t have been developed for it in the first place - then why not legalize it for medical use?
Your OP was intended to give people the impression your grandma took natural marijuana...and I believe that is exactly the impression you wanted to give.
But accepting the revised story, let me work on a caveat/disclaimer for the OP:
-Although this story is meant to promote legalization of medicinal marijuana, this story has nothing to do with that, and I have no first hand accounts of how well that may or may not have worked. Rather, my story contradicts the entire legalization movement, and describes how a synthetic version of marijuana was very effective-
Where'd you read that? High Times?
