Hopefully I do not start a fight with this, but from what I have heard marijuana does a excellent job with controlling nausea from chemo. But it is illegal in our state and only legal in a few states. If this is true a pulling back of gov control could bring a lot of relief to people with chemo, at a affordable cost.
I have told anyone that would listen, if it ever came to a vote, I'd vote to legalize it. They did put my daughter on synthetic (sp?) Marijuana, it was called Marinol. It worked pretty good, but I'd much rather have given her the real stuff in a pill form. Of course I don't want my child smoking a joint, but when she was so sick, I would've done anything to make her feel better.
As I understand it the DEA will no longer try to make cases in states where medical use is allowed. I in no way advocate drug use but in this case this should be a federal law allowing the use of medical marijuana.
