well, i've have to deal with chemotherapy, which causes some really bad nausea. The medication the doctors gave me helped a bit, but they made me feel crappy in many other ways. I've been smoking pot for a while, even before my health problems, and at first I was hesitant to smoke during my treatment. Yet one day I got the courage and gave it a shot, and I can honestly say that it got me through the most difficult time of my life easily. Evne when I was feeling my crappiest, after smoking all I would feel was a nice buzz and I would actually be hungry!! Being hungry for the time in weeks is a godsend, let me tell you that. Hopefully your mother can conquer her fears and try it out, it will hwlp her very much. Good luck...
