I don't appreciate the tone the author uses in this article at all.
I used to work with terminally ill patients in one of the country's top cancer hospitals (NYC, Upper East Side) in its cannabis program. All patient were stage 4 and on the brink of death. I, along with others, helped them roll doobies in hemp paper, held it to their lips and lit it for them. For patients with respiratory issues, we would administer THC pills.
It changed my entire outlook on this "war on drugs" we have going on. Yes, these people were on death's door, but it made it handling their pain so much more bearable than drug cocktails. It helped them eat (MUNCHIES!) and it made acceptance of what was to come much easier for them.
No one ever ODed. No one wigged out. No one ever tried to harm me and the staff in any way. They were the chilliest bunch of patients I EVER had the pleasure of working with.
And its a DAMN SHAME the people that are going through chemo/rad treatments for their cancers cannot benefit from the medical uses of this plant.
Aww congrats to them!! What a super star couple, that child is going to blessed for sure!
It really is too bad that she can't get her foot into American movies, but it doesn't really matter...that woman causes riots anywhere she goes in India.
