[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 331597, member: 1963"] Back in the "old days" husband and I both smoked pot fairly regularly. We both quit when he went into the service. Fast forward to the last couple of years of his life. He was having major problems with both pain relief and nausea/loss of appetite from his disease and his medications. On one hospitalization, the floor nurse actually came in and SUGGESTED that her experience with pts had shown that marijuana use could be really helpful for the type of sx d was having. It certainly did help greatly, but it came with one major caveat: be abolutely you get the stuff from someone who grows it for his/her own use. He was told in no uncertain terms what "today's" pot might contain. by the way, he did not smoke it. Part of the chemo he'd had had damaged his lungs very badly. He took it in soups and teas and quite often actually ground some up and put it in the empty gelatine capsules you can get at some healthfood stores. in my opinion? I think that marijuana is a good medicine, provided it is regulated by pharmaceutical laws. And, if we legalize it? Well, it's something else we can tax. They were cutting weed back then, too. I had a rather scary experience where I smoked some 'Thai Stick" which is whole buds sort of marinated in raw opium tincture. I tripped for two days straight [/QUOTE]
