For your edification, I too used to chortle hearing a man on a local Cannabis TV show continually discuss Cannabis as medicine (he a Vet). I truly thought he was joking until I researched current Cannabis medicine. Many are aware that for at least 2 decades people have consumed Cannabis to mitigate extreme side effects of orthodox cancer treatment like chemotherapy, radiation and exorbitant expense: up to $400,000+. 

However many of us unaware til last decade that Cannabis as Rick Simpson Oil or CBD, THCA (latter 2 nonpsychoactive) is efficacious low cost plant based med. Since 96 in CA, 98 OR & in many other states, medical use of Cannabis legal. Miracles being documented. Are they fools?

As word spreads RE Rick Simpson Oil, other options, people will rely less on conventional medicine, more on whole plant based Cannabis med. The word is spreading I guarantee you. Almost every time I mention it now people know someone it helped. Insurance, health care costs can be lower. Good news.
