"I think denying some sick cancer victim a substance that makes them hungry again"You're suggesting the cancer patient smoke marijuana? Where, in his hospital room? With a supressed immune system due to the chemo, you're not concerned about a fungal or bacterial infection from the marijuana?
Eh, doctor?

Many chemo patients have been smoking medical marijauna legally in California since 1996. Why haven't those infections you're so concerned about shown up?

If they desire to do so, absolutely.

I meant at home. But now that you mention it, I think the hospital room would be a fine place to do it. They can ventilate a room pretty effectively, I would guess.

Not if the patient isn't.

With a supressed immune system due to the chemo, you're not concerned about a fungal or bacterial infection from the marijuana? As opposed to the sterling record hospitals have of never misfiring meds or creating infections with needles and surgical instruments. What do you say we bring a sense of proportion to our concerns? Oh, excuse me, I forget we were drug warriors.
