A friend used it for pain control for breast cancer. Reckoned out was the only way to avoid having to use opiates.

I have severe anxiety disorder and ptsd. I have been in a constant state of panic since I was 5. I used marijuana medicinally for 10 years after every anti-anxiety medication either made me very ill or didn't work at all and it helped me a great deal. I often wasn't able to eat for days if my stress level was too high, I likely would be about 80 lbs. if I hadn't used. It is the ONLY thing that has ever provided relief from my disorder. I was able to wean myself off of it and although I still have anxiety I am able to manage it better.

yes it helps in many ways. if i have an allergic asthma attack, i smoke a bowl and it starts to calm down. it helps all kinds of pain as well, plus nausea, and myriad other things. it is a diuretic, so people who have water retention can use it to reduce swelling. and on and on. it frustrate me greatly that the federal govt actively and openly wars on this extremely beneficial plant, and obviously on the generally peaceful people who tend to appreciate there. that's why i am currently on a hunger strike for cannabis legalization. i began on 4-20-2013, and have been writing to the president. no response yet, but i'm an aquarian optimist. you can go to you tube and see my video at joyous rainbow. please spread it around. thanks and peace for All life, human critter plant and stone. aho

Do a search for Rick Simpson Oil and read for yourself the miracle medicine that marijuana actually is! Or go to his site phoenix-tears.ca where all the info and videos are

It depends on the weed of course.
Some works better than others.
