And doobies or Marinol is the best medicine we have in these cases?
It was 9 years ago.
My late wife had esophageal cancer. It quickly spread to her stomach. It wasn’t long before eating became painful and I had to feed her primarily through a J-tube. Anything she did eat (very small, well chewed bites, soft food) would come back up because of nausea. She lost weight fast. Anti-nausea pills were tried, but they too came back up. It was suggested she try smoking pot. It worked, and didn’t take much. She was able to hold food down and gained some weight back - until she watched an episode of “Cops” on TV. It showed a pot raid, broken windows, smashed doors and guns. The take was a small bag of pot. She became paranoid and flushed the rest of the pot.
It was back to vomiting several times a day. If she had been able to maintain her weight she might have had a chance of surviving.
Had she tried Marinol?
