ET and cannabis?

Posted by nohrt4me (Jean) @nohrt4me, 15 hours ago

Anyone talked to their hemo/oncologist about cannabis? I am having increased anxiety and insomnia, and 5 mg of THC before bed in gummy form once in awhile sounds mighty appealing.

In my health care systen, docs rarely prescribe benzos because they repress reflexes, and you have to submit to yearly drug tests to make sure you're not abusing them.

However, RED FLAG CAUTION, some studies point to a correlation between strokes and cannabis use:

(When you read the medical articles, it's often most helpful to jump directly to the "Conclusion" section before going back to tackle the whole thing.)

I will talk to my GP about this when I see her in May, but just wondering what others might be hearing.
