Marijuana & cancer

[Jac-genova]

I know there are so many opinions on this out there but curious to hear this group's thoughts on marijuana for Stage IV breast cancer. Has anyone tried it and had a good experience? I heard about one woman completely curing her cancer with it.

Apparently so..I take some in form of jellies as I don't smoke. Helps me with sleeping and pain. And also high quality CBD oil- must be a full spectrum!!

Full spectrum? Meaning all the goodies left in?

I don't know about curing cancer but it is a wonderful relief for muscle spasm. It also helps with appetite and with sleep. I have a joint before bed. When i was in hospital for radiation treatment I ate a chocolate chip marijuana cookie to be able to get a good night's sleep. We have home grown and I have been a marijuana user for years. I started in my 20s and am now mid 60. And i worked as a professional for 40 years but have only ever used it for recreational purposes.

I wish in my state is legal so I can grow my own! it's best when you grow your own, so you know what you're taking it!

[Silviolina]

do you have any reference/link to share?

[Shelly1009]

I've used it for some time for pain relief, stress and sleep. I don't know about it being a curative treatment but it certainly helps me get through some rough spots.

I've taken it some times. Helps with pain and insomnia.

Hi Jac!

I was using the tincture THC, mixed it in w/a glass of ginger ale at night and sipped on it while watching tv. It worked great w/sleep and pain. (Alas, my weight also increased). And then I started taking pain meds. Because pain meds and cannabis are both depressants, I cut the thc out altogether; I wanted to make sure I woke up in the morning. If you do decide to mix the two, which I don’t recommend, be careful. To be clear, I’m referring to THC and not CBD. I don’t know enough about CBD.

Ps: be it thc or cbd neither cure cancer. I’m sorry, but that’s hearsay.

I am applying for a medical marijuana card soon!

[Dancer1000]

I am in NY and have my medical marijuana card. I couldn't deal with the opiods it was horrible. I use a 1:1 (CBD:THC) ratio from a reputable dispensary and it has been a godsend for me for pain, anxiety and insomnia. It also help be get m weight back as I was losing it rapidly when I was on the opiods. As for curing...it doesn't cure cancer but is effective with symptoms as it relates to a system in our body that is little known called the endocannabinoid system (ECS). healthline.com/health/endoc...

I was very hesitant in trying CBD oil but since I am in a lot of pain taking norco5 on a daily basis (stage 4 metastasis to bones)....I thought maybe I should try it. I did a lot of research and ended up going with full spectrum CBD oil from NuLeaf due to their having great reviews of quality.I tried it last night after dinner, at half the dosage of 5 drops under the tongue. Within 15 minutes it made a hugh dent in the pain, with anxiety gone, completely relaxed and without any feeling of being "drugged". Havent slept that well in months. Will be using this dosage just once nightly . I also take 500mg turmeric daily in morning for its natural anti-inflamatory purposes and a daily womens over 50 multi-vitamin. (Both NatureMade brands) Hope this helps.

Wonderful relief for muscle pain, stress, anxiety, sleep, appetite, nausea...I have cannabis card and I’m using tincture 2:1 THC/CBD! I told my oncologist that I’m taking it and I asked if it interfered with chemo, he said no problem, I could continue taking it.

I’m waiting to get legalized in my state so I can try to grow on my own 🙄
