I'm in North Carolina. We don't have medical MJ laws, so I've never thought of using it in any way other then recreational. However, I'm on a 2 week round of doxycyclene to combat potential lyme disease. This drug can cause nausea, and in my it does. When it does they tell you to take it with a little food. The problem is, this limits the drugs absorbtion... but they figure its better to absorb a little less then none at all (if you vomit it up from taking it on an empty stomach).

Well, I took it on an empty stomach without smoking up first, and 45 minutes later I was dry heaving and almost puking (I managed to keep it down though). A couple day slater I took it on an empty stomach again, but smoked out first this time... and I was fine!

Wow... is MJ really that effective normally in combating nausea. If so it is an enormous shame that it is illegal. Sure there is marinol, but what sense does it make to take a pill to fight nausea?
