immunotherapy Provenge and THC

I use a THC vape pen or grass to help me sleep each night, a couple of puffs.

Not medical THC.

I have seen some studies showing issues with THC and immunotherapy. Because THC reduces inflammation it can work at cross purposes with the immunotherapy.

I will be starting provenge in the next couple of weeks, for ~5 weeks. I could stop using the THC if necessary. But I don't want to. (:

Anyone one have opinions or experience?

THC does reduce inflammation and can have a beneficial affect on cancer, but I would not look at it as a cure or treatment.

My thought is keep taking it just for the benefits of sleeping. I also take to sleep. I eat an edible then smoke, putting me to sleep and keeping me asleep

I was using cannabis while receiving Provenge - no conflict. Not sure what you mean by " not medical THC " I get my cannabis/THC at the dispensary. The product is the same for medical or recreational. The difference is that if prescribed " medical " you pay less taxes.

Check with your doctor, if it were me I’d want to get the full benefit of the Provenge treatment. BTW I had Provenge treatment last summer.

Thc doesn’t conflict with anything . It’s non toxic . I’m on high Thc over 7 yrs . I also smoke and eat edibles for relief. Why stop if it helps you? Good luck .
