My mother uses medical cannabis to treat the symptoms of her cancer, and her chemotherapy.
Most people don’t know this, but the vast majority of cancer patients don’t die from the disease, but from the treatment! Chemotherapy can give you a chance to save your life, but it also destroys your body in other ways.
My mom was one of the lucky ones, and the chemo treatments did push the cancer into remission, so she is trying to get back to living her best life. Medical cannabis is a big part of that, for several different reasons. Firstly, medical cannabis helps moderate her discomfort without risking her getting addicted to opioids. Doctors are so quick to prescribe addictive medicine, but my mother is adamantly opposed to anything like that, so she chooses medical cannabis instead. Secondly, medical cannabis gives her an appetite, when she hasn’t had one in a long time. Third, medical cannabis makes her giddy and light-headed, which allows her to laugh again. You have to get pretty loopy to crack up while you are suffering from cancer, but medical cannabis helps my mother to forget her circumstances, if only for a little while. I have smoked medical cannabis for years, but never for any legitimate medical reason, I just like getting stoned! I never expected to be able to sit down and smoke a few grams of medical marijuana with my own mother. I wish the circumstances were better, but the fact that she and I can enjoy medical cannabis as a family means a lot to me.
