Moms and Cannabis

[Dark Mistress]

Tenille: Until five months ago, I didn’t know what cannabis was. I had heard about marijuana and believed that people smoked it as a drug. But I was diagnosed five months ago with stage 2 Hodgkin Lymphoma cancer in my neck and chest. I was 18 weeks pregnant when I discovered it. I went to the Huntsman Cancer Institute for a series of tests, and because I was pregnant, chemotherapy wasn’t an option for me.
We began to research alternative treatments and put a lot of prayer into our search. We found a friend who had had cancer just like me, when she was pregnant, and she introduced me to a variety of people whose lives had been changed—their ailments big and small healed—because of using cannabis.
We went to a convention to learn more about it from scientists and doctors, and we decided that that was the route for me to follow. So, I left my family behind and moved to Colorado to juice the cannabis leaf for six weeks. My symptoms, such as a persistent cough and my whole body itching, began to quickly go away.
I went home after that and had tests done to check the growth of my cancer—and it had stopped growing. So at that point I went to California and got a license there and began taking the oil. I did that until December and came home to have my baby. I had some tests done on my cancer after the baby was born, and they found that my cancer had moved into a benign state.

I find this amazing. She was once on over thirty medications and went down to zero pharm medications after 6 weeks of using cannabis. This is what I am talking about when I ask why we aren't seeking alternative therapies for cancer that can improve the quality of life as opposed to killing everything in its path to save it?

Cannabis- a miracle drug for this Utah mom who was forced to seek another route when chemo was not an option since she was pregnant. Now, it is illegal for her to continue using it since she went back to her home state.

I can provide you with an equally convincing number of stories of people who prayed for a cure to cancer and their prayers were answered with a "miracle".

Doctors call it "the placebo effect."

There is no way I believe weed cures anything, it may alleviate pain and thats it.

I was once with my wife in a supermarket when a younger woman was taking all the black beans off the shelf. I said you having a bean party, she said no. She said these black beans cured me of cancer. She was totally completely convinced she was cured by eating black beans every day twice a day. She said she was on chemo etc etc and after three months on black beans she was off chemo and in remission.

Everyone has cancer cells in their body. All cancer is, is the uncontrolled replication of cells. Nobody knows what triggers it in some people, but I believe keeping everything in balance definitely helps. Maybe that lady had some sort of imbalance and the black beans filled the void. I believe holistic medicine is a good approach to fixing some ailments and also natural medicine instead of medicine made in a lab.

As to the weed part, it is a natural plant, and it has some chemical properties that have helped adults and children with certain diseases and epilepsy.

EDIT to add: I also believe there is a lot of money in the pharmaceutical industry in "treating" diseases and not "curing" diseases. Which is why you don't hear much about natural or holistic remedies.

Weed will definitely make you high, which is probably why so many people are saying it cures cancer and other ailments.

Which brings me to another point, kids. Don't do drugs

Do you research anything before you post? Anything?

Alcohol can clean wounds and treat some ailments.

But for some reason when you drink too much for too long your liver gets fried.

Taking something out of balance cab do harm. Nature is funny like that.

If you aren't willing to have ibuprofen or Tylenol restricted, restricting weed makes even less sense. Because the first two WILL kill you if you take too much. Weed has never killed anyone from taking too much.

Well, where's the proof? A story from a delusional woman who thinks weed cured her cancer? I can post 1000 such stories from people who "prayed away" their pain, or cancer, or whatever. Weed is just as good as faith healing, I will admit that much, but no more.

You know, he posts like he is pretty elevated, so maybe that's why he is so against weed...more for him.
