36. It seems to work on Lung Cancer too.
In June of 2003, I was told I had 3-6 months to live before I died of Non small cell lung cancer, stage four. At first, they told me nothing could be done -- except chemo, and that that would do very little besides make me sick during my last months on earth. (Later I had both Chemo and radiation.)

I am still alive, and my tumor sites have all shrunk in size. I have actually GAINED weight since my diagnosis. Meanwhile I have lost ten other friends to cancers, all of whom were apparently fine when I was already supposedly terminal.

What's the point to all this?

It's that the one thing I do that other people "don't" do is smoke lots of weed.

You can consider me a 'heavy' marjuana user. You can also consider me a medical miracle because almost NOBODY lives five years with stage four lung cancer.

But this coming June (puff, puff) it will be five years for me.

Prohibiting marijuana use, and especially research, is what's really criminal.
