Hi All, I just want to ask if anyone ever tried using medical cannabis as an alternative meds? I have read many articles about medical marijuana and how it can help you in terms of chronic pain, glaucoma, eating disorder/anorexia, anxiety disorders and panic attacks, inflammation, even cancer and a lot more. Like this article about a marijuana strain called Huckleberry from:http://www.ilovegrowingmarijuana.com/huckleberry/ . Cbd and thc are also new to me and I don't even smoke. If this is true I cant find any solid conclusive evidence that speaks to its efficacy. Any personal experience or testimonial would be highly appreciated. Thanks

I've worked in a few pharmacies for almost 20 years, two of the pharmacies were in doctor's office complexes in Merrifield. Both those locations had oncologists located in them.
People on chemotherapy and radiation treatment often lose their appetite and have no desire to eat. They subsequently lose weight, sometimes to a dangerous level. I've filled many prescriptions for Marinol, which is derived from Marijuana.
The drug companies have been able to extract the part of pot that gives you "the munchies" without having the psychoactive properties that get you stoned. I've seen the good that it can do, giving people an appetite again, and helping them to gain a bit of weight again, at time when their body needs it the most.
