So when it helped my late wife develop an appetite and hold down a meal after chemo, that had no value, right Mikey?
Asshat, live through what I’ve lived through and you’ll know better first hand.
Was your wife smoking or taking a tablet?
Stick it Bloomberg. Come back when you have a medical degree.
Amen, brother. Weed saved my life (quite literally) during chemo and radiation treatments for colon cancer. It allowed me to drink water without puking and even eat a little here and there.
I tried every other nausea med and even the synthetic Marinol, and nothing worked like a few puffs of marijuana.
I would have died from dehydration way before the cancer killed me. Before I tried the weed, they put me in the hospital so I could get fluids 24/7. I got infections just from being there, and I knew I had to get out of there. When I talked my doc into letting me go home, I thought it was the end. Then someone brought over some weed and everything changed.
I don't wish it on anyone because it is a living hell, but if you or anyone you know is going through cancer treatments, get some weed and a pipe any way you can. The relief is nearly instant.
It is true that there are people who just want to use it for fun, but if you ever find yourself about to die a miserable death because you are puking dozens of times a day, you will realize there is a place for it.
4 years cancer free, btw.
It has also completely slowed the progression of a form of ALS in a friend of mine that should have been dead 10 years ago (based on the average progression of the disease)
I know someone who had a medical marijuana license in a state where you have to see two doctors to get such. It helps her with PTSD, back pain AND helps her sleep with her thyroid condition. I think a lot of posters are against medical marijuana because some states like Colorado treated it like a joke, giving licenses to 20-somethings who had nothing wrong with them - a de facto legalization before they finally came out and legalized it. But for those with the medical conditions in question such as pain and glaucoma, it does help and does have an effect.
