I am dealing with colorectal cancer and a cannabis user anyway. I was also given an access to oxycodone which I used some, but it does slow down your intestines, but it did help me sleep when I was in severe pain during radiation. Now I’m on chemo heavy and it doesn’t stop pain but if you like the effect of cannabis, if it calms you- good! Use it. Some people don’t react well to it and some people do. It’s just another tool in the tool kit nothing sinful about it.
Before being diagnosed, I lived in New Mexico and grew some pot in my backyard. I still have it and I’ve made some oil with coconut oil in a crockpot. I have tried Gummies. I will occasionally consume an edible but generally, I prefer the old-fashioned way I just rolling up a joint. It seems to be the easiest way to control how much you ingest and it is certainly a different effect than consuming cannabis edibles are much more long lasting I find and hard to control dosage. This is just my personal experience good luck, everyone!
