Personally I wish a nice bout of chemotherapy on the people who say there's no relief to be had from marijuana use. Better than that on their spouses or their kids.

I watched my mother puke her guts out for weeks before I finally convinced her to try a hit or two of weed. In less than a day the vomiting was gone and she started eating again.

She actually gained weight on chemo. Her Oncologist was stunned. I had a private chat with him and told him what I'd done. "Whatever works." was all he said.

She's cancer-free now and hasn't touched the stuff since.

I know this is what scientists call 'anectdotal' evidence. I don't give a damn. It worked for my family.

Then there's the fact that the Constitution doesn't grant the Feds the slightest hint of authority to regulate what any consenting adult choses to put into their body in the first place.

As I said above the folks who argue for Federal 'drug control' policy on this board are the worst sort of hypocrites. She's a recovering alcoholic so she was terrified she'd get 'hooked'. But once the chemo was over

I too have a friend who has luekemia, which is in remission.

Doesn’t touch the stuff but now feels relief knowing there are not only legitimate sources available but the growers and suppliers are very conscious about the quality of the product and growing organically so as not to introduce pesticides and other chemicals into an already ill person’s care.
