Re: HER-2 Positive & Triple Negative = Cannabis Intervention

Too bad its the THC that is the active ingredient. Only because I did use pot during my last round of chemo and it was truly a godsend. I live in CA where its legal for medicinal purposes but also have the restrictions job-wise that it's still a federal offense. When I was going through chemo I could give a rip if it became a legal issue. 35 lb weight loss and I wasn't heavy to begin with and very, very sick in the end. But the feeling stoned was an issue. No way I could work using it regularly. I took a puff at night so I could eat. My experience is that it would be hard to still work. I've taken THC via pill and still had that stoned feeling. If they could find a way to deliver it and still be productive, all for it.
