Ask the Girl with Brain Cancer #1
Dear Liz:
We were talking about what it takes to get a license to smoke marijuana legally. Supposedly it is very easy to obtain.I'm sure your doctors have you on a ton of chemicals and pills, etc. Have they ever suggested things like marijuana? I mean not in the curing sense, but in the elevation sense? Or was it not even remotely brought up?-- G
From what I understand, medical marijuana is used to relieve the side affects of chemotherapy, specifically nausea and vomiting. I take a few drugs which help relieve these symptoms, Emend and Kytril.Because my body responds well to these solutions my doctors haven't had a reason to try anything "extreme" with me. However, I am confident that if these drugs (and other routine solutions) did not work they would be willing to discuss alternative options with me. Fortunately, I am not in enough pain or agony to even have thought about medical marijuana, however I know a few people who have tried products such as cbd & terpenes as a pain reliever.
They told me it was really easy to buy cheap weed online and it really helped her but I still haven't tried it. There are people out there that use this as a way of relieving any ailments they are living with, and some even grow their own as they are so reliant on it that they need to make sure they have a conistent supply. Take a look at i49.net/missouri for more information if you're considering doing the same. With the knowledge of the marijuana industry growing, it is important for businesses like dispensaries to meet the requirements of their customers. Two ways of doing this is through the quality of their products and marijuana packaging. They pretty much go hand in hand. Of course there will be people out there that don't agree with the use of marijuana for medical purposes, but at the end of the day, it is completely your own decision.
