I was wondering, did you smoke marijuana before you had cancer? Or did you start smokeing after you were diagnosed. I figured i would ask and see if there is truth behind those sientific studies. I always figured i knew the answer but i guess i just realised im not sure. Asking actual people makes me feel better then the biased studies. Any help is appriciatted, cure my wondering mind. Ty.

Worst thing about the cancer, is loss of appetite, so far, for me.
So, now, it's medicine! <sigh>
Even when ya no really wanna get high. (Hey! It happens:D)
I blaze, to munch!
Just lost interest in food.
Started losing too much weight.

I ask because i have had a phobia of cancer since i was a child. So i wonder if smoking weed is somehow preventing cancer because i have read that in a few scientific studies. I would rather ask actuall people then just believe it. I trust you guys more than "scientists".
Thanks for the response weez.
I had a sister with cancer. She didn't smoke before she had it. But after she did when she was treating chemo side-effects, she said at least a dozen times she wished she had smoked from her earliest opportunity. She loved it.
I now have a good friend with the same type of cancer. She smoked recreationally before the cancer and before her current marriage, which is to a police officer, and loved it. Sad thing is in our state she cannot smoke legally to treat her symptoms, and because of her husband, she can't easily risk doing it illegally. So she needs it and has to do without because of their "position." Sad.
I smoked as a college kid and again two and a half years ago (with my sister when she was sick) before I began medical school. I fully intend to again someday when I can do so without fear of prosecution. If I get cancer, I'll drop out of school and take it up again. With pleasure. If I have a slow-growing cancer, I'll plan to do some plant-growing, too.
Thank you for the input birdgirl, it seems you have the right take on it. I hope your sister is alright. And i hope you are ok as well weez. Anymore?
Well, my sister had terminal cancer, so she passed not quite two years ago. It was sad but at least she didn't have any more pain.
And I don't have cancer at all. I was just saying if I got it, I'd be smoking again in an instant because I'd drop out of school!
Im so sorry to hear that. And i meant you have the right take on it, you dont need it now but if you ever did you would use it. <- Thats the right idea.
I smoked buds since I was 15.
Got cancer when I was 23. I used buds to cope through chemotherapy, it's truly amazing the medicinal value.
