also considering your in canada i think its possible to get medical treatment from marijuana in canada and you said "in constant pain, lost my appetite," and I think ( some one correct me if i am wrong) you can actually get to become a marijuana patient with those symptoms but not sure really and that way cannabis would be easier for you to obtain.
