Medical Cannabis for MAC

@suenfl I have a medical marijuana card for cachexia. It was approved because of my severe weight loss and poor appetite. I have MAC and Bronchiectasis. Both my ID doctor and my pulmonologist agreed it was ok as MAC is such a “wasting” disease for some. I have tried it a few times, but clearly I am not a party gal. My husband encourages me to use it, and he was very against marijuana in the 60’s when we were in college. I will say the creams are nothing short of miraculous in terms of arthritis (which has nothing to do with your question). The dispensaries have many different kinds of marijuana products to fit your diagnosis. Insurance does not cover that expense. I hope that answers your question somewhat.

Thanks for your reply. I am using it and have not been hospitalized in 9 months. I have a FL medical cannabis card. I was hospitalized 18x in the past two years. It will be interesting to see how my next scan looks.
