When our grown daughter was undergoing chemotherapy for lymph
cancer, she was sick and vomiting constantly as a result of her
treatments. No legal drugs, including Marinol, helped her.
We finally turned to marijuana. With it, she kept her food down,
was comfortable and even gained weight. Those who say Marinol and
other drugs are satisfactory substitutes for marijuana may be
right in some cases but certainly not in all cases.

If doctors can prescribe morphine and other addictive medicines,
it makes no sense to deny marijuana to sick and dying patients
when it can be provided on a carefully controlled, prescription
basis.
