marijuana

Doctor phoned today, said blood tests indicated marijuana use.  "Do you smoke pot?" she asked.  "Yes," I replied, "nobody told me not to."  I mean, she said to give up wine and lose weight.  Now she wants me to give up the weed.  Since I've read that many people use it to help out with sides from treatment, my question is: Is it that really that damaging to our livers?  Thanks in advance,

Sure worked for me!!! I used it during tx to calm the nerves, increase the appetite, and just level me out..I have since stopped. My Dr was completely aware of it, and did not have anything against it.

in my own experience, this is not an addictive drug physically,but can be mentally...it is a natural depressant..so when you smoke you do have enhanced feelings of depression,euphoria etc. i am in no way against it but personally i find it makes it worse for me. shelly

Funny you should bring this up. Just yesterday, I finally got my Medical Marijuana card here in Nevada. The doctor had no hesitation in giving me the prescription EVEN when I was under treatment. I can tell you it dramatically helped me sleep and eat much better.

Get a second opinon and get a good night's sleep without nausea...

And for those who do not smoke; you can get this in flavored suckers and chocolate bars of many combination flavors.  I live in California and they have medical marijuana stores all over.

I think it would work for tx, neasua, eating better, and relaxing your stress level.
