It could be that just handling the tainted drug releases the spores to be inhaled. Personally, if I was on chemo, I wouldn't want to be in the same room.

Certainly precautions ought to be taken, particularly by patients with compromised immune systems, but that falls well short of an argument for a blanket ban on medical use.

There are other drugs for nausea, you know. And they work quite well.

The fact that there's more than one reminds us that not every patient responds the same way to a drug ... which is exactly why marijuana ought to be an available option.

"Certainly precautions ought to be taken, particularly by patients with compromised immune systems,"

If certain precautions should be taken, why isn't that written into state law? Perhaps it should be banned until they figure it out, huh?

"which is exactly why marijuana ought to be an available option."

Hey, as long as it goes through the same process as the other drugs I have no problem with that.
