I'd reccomend it for relaxing. It cant be compared to anything else.

But, as Billionfold said, its not for everyone, and while i like to kid myself that its a cure-all drug, for most people it is although it seems to do it for me.

Give it a go a few times, and at least try it. You wont die, as im sure your probably all ready aware. Pot is so much safer than anything else, including almost all legal drugs, even headache pills.

But dont go at it like crazy, take a small puff, and see how you feel. Then keep going untill you feel good.

I doubt you'll get caught, so theres no need to be paranoid. If you only ever have a small amount on you, and dont smoke it in public people will never know, meaning no cops knocking on your door.

Cannabis is an amazling plant, and can do sooo much good.

Give it ago, and if it doesnt work, at least you can be happy with yourself that you tryed it and decided it wasnt for you.

Im sorry to hear about your problems, i know how it feels to have cancer running in the family, I've lost quite a few of my family to cancer.

Take it easy man, and most importantly take care.

Alex.
