Cannabis can really help increase the quality of life for the severely and terminally ill, I have seen it work.
It is a massive injustice the way that plant has been maligned. It could be given to thousands of kids who suffer from cerebral palsy in exchange for a cocktail of other meds that have severe and lasting side effects, meds that would also prove fatal if given in higher doses.
I work with a JW and have heard from him recently about a couple of JWs who passed away after rejecting the conventional treatment for certain cancers in exchange for some quack idea.
