You may or may not like my response, but here goes. THC edibles and tinctures saved my life during chemo. I liked the tincture most because I could control the dosage.

FYI, I never partook before my diagnosis. I am not a pot head. I asked my doctor for their advice, being from Texas they certainly couldn’t prescribe it (we had a good laugh), and ethics doesn’t allow them to recommend it. However, they told me there are a ton of patients that have reported positive results. Including some of their own.

If if you are in a state where it is legal, no problem. If not, drive to one where it is and bring some back. My adult kids and their friends got it for me.
