Rep Power: 42 | Cystic Fibrosis While working with a co-worker plagued by this condition I have learned quite a bit about the hardships one faces when born with cystic fibrosis. Although many folks are not sure exactly what cystic fibrosis is, 1 out of 29 Caucasian males are a carrier to the gene which causes cystic fibrosis. Cystic fibrosis affects around 30,000 children and adults in the United States and 70,0000 globally. An individual who has cystic fibrosis has thicker than normal mucus which causes digestive and respiratory complications and infections. The average life span of a person suffering from CF is 35 years of age. From my friend's personal experiences, medical cannabis helps her eat, sleep, and live better. While she does not smoke it, she vaporizes at a low temperature and enjoys edibles immeasurably. Are there any patients with more information on the effects of marijuana and this disease? I am very interested, especially since I am involved with a charity event to raise money for a cure. Marijuana is great. |
