Unfortunately cancer is part of life and it is vital that the cancer treatment is of the highest level.
One of the side affects of chemotherapy is nausea and many people say that marijuana is great for an upset stomach.
The problem is that doctors are often have no option but to prescribe heavy medication, which often has undesirable side affects. The reason being is that it is still illegal for doctors in many places in the world to prescribe medical marijuana.
Should medical marijuana be used in cancer treatment? Please share your thoughts as it would be great to help cancer patients across the world. Hopefully law makers will read this post and decide to legalize medical marijuana for treating cancer.
I think Marijuana and hemp oil can be used as a firm step to treat cancer naturally.
Our new medical cannabis documentary has one major character who had cancer – she’s not a stoner, and is a really fresh face with honest info about the benefits of medical MJ for people with cancer. You can see a trailer and an excerpt here: http://www.rxcannabisthemovie.com
Marijuana is great for cancer its just really bad that every state does not legalize it! Someday they will though! I think legal weed
would be great!
I have worked as a Paramedic since 1978 and have been
responsible for the care and treatment of patients with Cancer and many other conditions too numerous to list. What I can say is that I Firmly believe in useing marajiauna
for the treatment of symptoms asscociated with Diseases. I have seen the results- people able to eat solid foods and keep it down after weeks of trying different medications, that left them so weak they could not walk- MS patients no longer shaking with pain. The list goes on. In 1994 I thought I was burning out so I went to work as a deputy in corrections, until I got sick 3 weeks later. The Drs removed a 4.5 pound tumor from my lung. Radiation, 10 months of Chemotherapy, 21 different medications a day and I still can not work. I was not able to keep my medications or food down. I went from 250 to 168 pounds in 2 weeks. I have seen firsthand both sides of the coin. I believe in it’s benefits. End of problem.
medicinal marijuana should be available to everyone with an illness marijuana benefits. the gov’t needs to get out our doctor’s examining room.
To the guy with the dog:
A great way to get your sick pup to eat, AND get a nice dose of Medical Marijuana Medicine, is to use a firecracker.
They’re made out of peanut butter (dog will love it, even if he doesn’t like dog food anymore) and it safely introduces Cannabinoids to your dogs system. Hope this helps, and I’m so sorry to hear about your dog.
This is going to sound a ridiculous, but here goes. I’m an uber nerd and have never done illegal drugs or even been offered them (despite living in Manhattan and attending college there). I guess I was too busy studying. But my beloved greyhound was just diagnosed with osteosarcoma…an incredibly painful bone cancer. He’s on 3 different types of painkillers, and I’d just like him to be comfortable for the time he has left. I’m only treating him palliatively. However, he’s starting to lose his appetite. I have a PhD in molecular biology and I’ve seen the research…I know marijuana would be an excellent adjuvant. But you can’t light a joint and hold it up to your dog’s mouth. And I have no idea how much to feed him. I’ve found a source of excellent material, but I’m not sure what to do now. Are there vaporizers that just let it diffuse? Can I put it in his food? Do I have to cook it somehow first? How much do you give a 75 lb dog dying of bone cancer? Does anyone else have pets that enjoy marijuana, or will this just scare him?
I think its absolutely ridiculous and inhumane that marijuana is still illegal even for medical users. It should me made available legally at least for the people who need it for treatment of their illness. You can debate wether it should be totally legal or not, but it being legal for patients should be a given. There is virtually no reason why it is still illegal for medical users!

Not only cancer but other conditions as well. We do have patients that have used it illegally, and found out themselves that cannabis has helped them, and now they have visited our office to consult a physician about medicinal marijuana. It is not only used to treat nausea, but also to increase appetite, ease pain, and get more rest. Our government should research marijuana and allow all states to legalize it. Doctors should not have fear about losing their license. They should feel comfortable in discussing marijuana as a form of treatment for many conditions.
Lets also not forget that pot was made illegal not only for paper, but also because are american government needed a way to deport mexicans who were coming here looking for work. I have read lots of reasons why pot should be illegal but none of them support legitimate reasons for maijuana to be illegal and yet it is. I have personally seen more people destroy their lives on alcohol then I have seen people destroy themselves with weed and I have been around both all my life. In fact I know paramedics and even surgeons who put eight balls up their nose before their shift and we are worried about a plant that has proved time and time again to actually help people. Please give me a break.
I think Marijuana and hemp oil can be used as a firm step to treat cancer naturally.
Positive thinking, energy work, and diet can also help tremendously.
Good luck all..

i believe we should legalize it only according to Medical reasons only. many ppl in the united states smoke Marijuana for all the wrong reasons. it should be legalized so that the Cancer patients can be treated right and maybe it can cure cancer away from there lives. i mean who knows what might happen. maybe pretty soon a new president will realize how affective this Drug can be and then he’ll see that it actually does work and that it should of been legalized a long time ago
Yes this should be used for all alments it can treat. It was only made illigal in the 20′s or 30′s for fuel, paper, and food reasons among others. Lets get this stuff legalized in all states for medical reasons to give us some freedom among the slavery.
Countless cancer patients have sworn by Medical Marijuana to treat the nausea associated with chemotherapy. I strongly believe marijuana should be legalized for medical uses. You can find a post I wrote about some interesting medical uses for Cannabis here
It might interest you to know that Naturopathy is very effective in treating cancer and is devoid of adverse side effects brought about by Western medicine. But it is important to get treated from a certified and experienced doctor like Dr.Gez Agolli who would use his expertise in the field and help in the quick recovery of patients. to get in touch with him, visit
