WHEN MARIJUANA IS USED AS MEDICINE.
Several years ago, I contracted a case of food poisoning. The
frequent vomiting and diarrhea were unpleasant, but the feeling of
nausea was the worst effect of all.
In response, I smoked a few puffs of high-quality marijuana. The
effects of the nausea disappeared after about 30 seconds.
Here's a few assertions of my own: Marijuana is the fastest-acting
and most effective anti-nausea agent available. Marijuana is no more
addictive than milk, and the consumption of small quantities is no
more toxic than milk.
