I have to say that it seems to have really helped her mood, too. She has never used marijuana before in her entire life, so this was kind of a big deal for her, but she says it's really helping. It's definitely worth a try, if you can get some.


I need some for my mom, but I know she wouldn't do it. She is anti-mj.

I think it would help her with rectal pain, as she takes tylenol with coating

I live in a state where it is legal and I have a medical prescription for it from my oncologist. I can't say enough about how much it has helped me. The anti nausea pills have never worked for me and just made me constipated. The key is to get a CBD oil that also has THC. It helps with my appetite, sleep and don't take any anti nausea meds any more. I can't for the life of me imagine why states are slow to make it legal for at severe medical conditions. I know all the political junk but still very sad to know that people are suffering and addicted to pain meds when there is a much safer alternative that is not addictive. Rant over ;-)

I use CBD mints that also contain ginger to control any nausea that I experience.
I also use some THC/CBD 1:1 ratio chocolates called 420 chocolates for sleep aid.
If I don't take them I end up waking up for an hour or two every night. If I take I sleep like a rock almost entire night through.
Couple trips to bathroom and down 18 ounces of water and back to sleep right away.

Both the CBD and THC have helped me quite a bit getting through some of the symptoms/side effects.
I also have some oil that I mix sometime in tea.

I got the vape pen and some oils, but have only used a couple of times where nausea was too intense to wait 1.5 hours for edibles to kick in.
There have been some people with stage 4 that have dosed CBD 1000 mg per day along with a fair dosage of THC during the night hours.
Some have seen complete dissolution of tumors, some have shrunk considerably, some haven't had such good luck. I think there should be some
scientific studies using CBD/THC to not only treat cancer, but relieve symptoms of chemotherapy and surgery.

Guys, from your personal experience, could you say that Cannabis oil could cause addiction ?

Anything can cause addiction with those that suffer addictive personalities.
Neither THC or CBD are physically addictive. THC can become addictive psychologically used in higher dosings.
CBD has no addictive qualities whatsoever given it's not psycho - reactive.

Exactly this.

CBD oil is Legal in all 50 states. It is because it does not have any addictive qualities nor does it cause a 'high' when taken.

THC is still being debated on simply because it causes the 'high' when consumed.
