Darrell,

I must say I am very proud of you for sticking to your beliefs even in your hour of great sorrow.

I too am a believer in Medical MJ. It really, really helped me thru the treatment.

When I was first diagnosed a fellow HNC survivor from the Bay Area told me it helped him with appetite, nausea, pain. He said I could get it with a prescription in the form of candies, muffins, etc.

Living in IL made that difficult, but I still had a few friends that were stonies as we all do. Lets face it a lot of people smoke pot. They were able to obtain some for me.

Well, I pulled a few recipes off the internet and made a Huge batch of brownies. I gotta say, my treatment changed drastically from that point forward. I eased back 80-90% on the pain meds, I still had diarrhea but the vomiting stopped, I mean stopped, my appetite came back, even with a severely damaged throat I was able to eat.

As I stated it helped me a lot. I am not telling others to do that, just how it helped me.

Also, since I don
