Elianne,

You are in Canada where medical marijuana is legal and can be applied for from your health system. No matter what your views on this drug may be, it's just a drug, a tool to be used during this time.

Marijuana will help ease pain, act as an antinausea, anti anxiety and a "side effect" will boost appetite. Most Dr's and myself, object to the archaic delivery system of "smoking" it, which of course releases toxins and carcinogens into your system. Vaporizing it releases the cannaniboids and THC through water vapors and skirts those issues.

Ask your dr about it, but do not let them talk you into Marinol, which is just a synthetic THC. THC when not combined with cannaniboids (found in cannabis) will not give the desired effects.

Best wishes

Eric
