Oh ... oh, the heartlessness. The inhumanity.
huh? Been smokin' some yourself?
Are you also one of those who doesn't believe legitimate drugs should be used to alleviate discomfort in any form? That antidepressants are a crutch? That narcotics only relieve pain and therefore dull the reality of the human condition?
Better living through chemistry (and agriculture if need be). No, I don't want my kids smoking it to get high - but if it relieves someone's discomfort, even ANECDOTALLY, while undergoing chemo, why deny them? I'm not a fan of quack remedies, but I don't see the need to ban them. And hey, if magnets really make you feel better, go for it. A lot of medication is prescribed for subjective reasons and discarded/discontinued for subjective reasons.
