Cannabis Can Be A Lifesaver
Many
laypeople and even physicians think of marijuana as a
light-weight medicine, at best. Okay, they might think, it
helps people with nausea from chemotherapy (and many other
causes), gives some appetite, relieves some pain, helps sleep,
reduces anxiety -- but it's not a real medicine, it's not a
powerful medicine.
I beg to
differ.
In
individuals with cancer, aids, hepatitis, crohn's disease (among
others), patients often die because they are too nauseous, or
simply don't have enough of an appetite, to eat enough food to
survive. Cannabis, in a large number of patients, literally
saves their lives by enabling them to eat. In some cases, with
the strength of this nutrition, they are able to get well. In
others, it prolongs their lives by weeks, months, or years, not
to mentioning improving the quality of life.
