I think that if a person is experiencing a lot of side effects on treatment, it is better to smoke a bit of pot than to come off treatment with no hope of SVR. Marijuana enables some people to stick with their treatment regimine by taking all their pills and shots when they are supposed to be taken.
I live in Texas. Pretty much everything is illegal here. With that said, I've thought about smoking some weed as well but I don't know how to get it. I would think it would be the perfect drug for sx from chemo or combo tx.
just be careful if you do find some, maybe I'm wrong, but I heard in Texas that you can potentially do jail time for a joint? I might be wrong...
I have a script for it from my doctor (not my heptologist). Where I live you have to be growing A LOT to be prosecuted. The goofy thing is a card saying you can use it, costs $40. Now, the state wants $150 tax on the cards. What is really fueling the growth of this industry is economics.
BTW: My heptologist takes a 'do it if it helps', approach, cautioning moderation.
There is some guy with cancer who is taking his case to court saying that people are being denied medicine. I wish I could remember the details. I don't remember anything. Maybe I smoke too much?
The joint for a joint? There's something almost biblical about that. So, if you are Batman, how's Robin these days? Hope she's doing well.
It isn't illegal in all states. Here medicinal marijuana is legal.
Interesting topic.
To be honest I smoked on and off for 25 years.
I quite prior to tx, just to be safe and don't really miss it.
I ask a very well known hepatologist what his thoughts were. He did not have a problem with it. Hubby had just started tx and people were insisting he get on anti's
and he refused. So we ask the dr and he said "to tell you the truth I would rather see you smoke a little than take all the other helpers". This was reassuring to us.
I am on week 22 and hubby on week 8 and have not touched it yet, but if I had hard time, I would not hesitate to try it.
Also, I asked about the increased fibrosis and he said the study that was released was a french study where the participants smoked at least 10 joints a day.
Honestly if you are smoking that much you've got bigger problems ;-)
Like I said I smoked on and off for at least 25 years, but rarely drink (never liked it) and I am a stage 0.
Smoke it if you got it!! I like the idea of the munchies! God knows I can put on a few pounds. Could never understand the reasoning behind making something illegal that's been growing wild since biblical times. Oh well. If I had it I'd probably partake as well. Here in this part of NC they're still making moonshine. Definitly don't want any of that. Makes you howl at the moon and go blind. Hmmm...which one is better for you...I think I'll pick what's behind door #1. "Don't bogart that joint my friend, pass it over to me..."
Well a lot of things grow wild that ain't good for ya'or, will downright kill you. That's not really a good criteria to use.
'Makes you howl at the moon and go blind'. Moonshine = tx?
hey, Robin's fine and thriving...I haven't left my batcave all day, too hot here...can ya tell? how are you? You sound nice and upbeat...pulling for you...
Hope you are in a state that has medical marijuana...if you need it for tx purposes, you need it...
I think it was friday , I heard on the noon time news that they have approved for Medicinal purposes in Balt MD, but of course the federal law still stands, I guess what could they do if you produce a rx for it, slap your wrist and tell you to do it at home, or at the doctors office.. LOL
I could site studies that suggest that pot smoking increase the fibrosis rate and others that suggest pot enhances the chance of SVR since it may help patients tolerate the sides and complete treatment. I really don't have a clue. If I were you and I thought it would help I would smoke in moderation but really - so what? I already said I don't have a clue. Mike
Well it may be a can of illegal worms, BUT... I kind of agree... I hadn't smoked in over 10 years.. & still don't now... BUT when I was on TX.. I busted my youngest daugher when I found her stash underneath her dresser... I of-course had no choice but to smoke up the evidence...LoL & I have to tell ya... my thoughts were... Dang, If I could actually do this... I might not need any of those other helper drugs...LoL
Actually some states have Medical MJ... & those that do... swear by it... I don't advocate it, but due to my experiance... I'm not knocking it either (had I of had a source) I certainly would have done it again!
However just as with anything else... it's gonna get processed thru the liver, so it might depend on what grade/stage you are at... ect, ect, ect... it might not be an option for some! I mean anything liver friendly is better.. Right!
