I’m sorry to get heated about this but that is ABSOLUTELY FALSE. Medical usage in Cancer patients IS helpful. You may be lucky enough to not know what that’s like, but a close loved one passed away and they were not given access to use medical cannabis, they could barely eat a half a bowl of cereal in 2 days time because of chemotherapy and the many pills they were prescribed. I don’t wanna make light of it, but when people talk about getting hungry after smoking weed, that’s not just some Scooby Doo joke, it’s real and affects your brain, specifically the Lateral Hypothalamus. Access to this medicine has been found to be very helpful. Even IF it was a form of escapism, why deny a dying person the basic joy of easing their pain, their symptoms, their unease? What is so wrong with letting a chemo patient smoke a blunt?
