I have personally seen people comforted from the pains of fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, cancer treatment, Hep-C treatment, headaches due to stress, nausea, allergic reactions effecting the sinus, sevear depression, etc. by cannabis. I have no value for the uncontrolled methos of taking oral THC verses inhilation. Too unpredictable. People should be told to use newer devises such as very well filtered water pipes etc. to reduce the toxicity of the smoke.

My typos should get an amen out of somebody!
