Question: Why Is Smoking Marijuana Considered Medical For Cancer Patients If Marijuana can Cause Cancer Too!?
I am not anti-marijuana!. In fact I think that the drug war has failed, and will continue too!. But how does it help cancer patients if it can gradually cause cancer too!? Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
It helps calm the side effects of radiation and chemo!. It is a great anti enemic, it is great short term for anxiety and a short term sleep aid!.

Although, every doc I have talked to about it recommend cooking it rather than smoking it!. OR the synthetic thc pill, marinol, which is a legal perscription filled at the pharmacy nation wide!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

It's only for pain purposes when an advanced stage cancer hurts so much!. At late stages, most of the pain meds won't help!. It's also possible that the doctor will prescribe Marinol (as suggested earlier) but that would be for chemo patients who are not eating well and have a poor appetite!. This drug has very small amounts of THC in it and helps to stimulate the appetite!. In my opinion, smoking anything is bad and could cause cancer!. No matter what you smoke, you're breathing toxins into your lungs!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

It alleviates the great physical pain of Kemo and the cancer itself in some cases!.
I'm sure people with lounge cancer don't smoke it, but rather vaporize or cook it!.

I personally think they should legalize Marijuana!.
It's effect are so minor compared to Alcohol!. Well unless you're baked out of your mind!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

If you have ever smoked pot then you know how it relaxes you and you get in your own little world where you are just mellow!.Maybe this is wht ,just to keep your mind at ease for having this horrible disease called cancer !.I know I,too have cancer and I am scared to death ,maybe I should try a little weed to see if it helps ease my pain and my mind Www@Answer-Health@Com

Because it doesn't cause cancer, they've tested it many times and despite being full of carcinogens, it doesn't increase your risk of cancer!. In fact, it actually slightly decreases you risk of lung cancer because it kills messed up therefor potentially cancerous lung cells!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Because people who have cancer already have cancer!. In all honesty, cancer really hurts and weed can relieve sone of that pain so smoking a little or taking a marijuana pill will not make a difference for them, they need it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Marijuana does cause cancer!. One Joint has the same amount of cancer causing chemicals as a whole pack of cigarettes!. They already have cancer!. It is for the pain!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Radiation treatment for cancer causes cancer!.

I wouldn't be too worried about the carcinogenic effects of Marijuana compared to these other very, very dangerous treatments for cancer!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I dont know if it causes cancer!.!. only thing I thought of was that Willie Nelson started smoking it at about 20 and he is almost 76 now and still smokes it and the boy is still going!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

as far as I know, there have been no studies proving that!. It is possible however, tobacco & pot share some dangerous chemicals!. potheads don't smoke a pack a day but they do inhale more!.
