Excellent video for those who have not seen it !!!!

There is a wealth of information on YouTube about cannabis.

Purchased large quantity of medical grade and followed Ricks directions. It did not help. My brother lost his battle at 44 from breast cancer.

nothing works all the time for everyone I guess. May I ask specifically what you tried and where/how you got it?

I researched, and researched. That's what big sisters are supposed to do, help. I came across an article on Rick Simpsons hemp oil and read for days. I emailed my brother who lived in Tampa, Florida and he seemed very interested. One big problem, it's illegal in Florida. He flew to the state if Washington and procured over a pound of high grade medical pot. My brother had called and spoken with people before he left and made sure this was done right. He used everclear to cook it down. That was purchased in NJ because he couldn't get the strength he needed where he was. I shipped that down with fed-ex!! This was done by the book, he followed the directions and we all had a little glimmer of hope.

It didn't help at all. Maybe one side effect was that it made him hungry. I visited his oncologist with him who thought it was a great idea. Sadly breast cancer in men is so rare and there aren't many treatment options avaiable. 99.9 of research money goes to research on women's breast cancer.

I lost my sister to ovarian cancer at 46 and my brother to breast cancer at 44, life just sucks for me.
