I have a dear friend who is very special. They have been dealing with cancer for awhile now. It was in remission but is back and has spread to the bone. They have gave him 18 months. Chemo will start soon.

He is in his 70's and acts like he is 50. I know he has lived a full life however I don't want to see him suffer.

My question is, how do I tell him about MMJ? He is old school, a Christian and teacher in the church. I know what his reaction will be.

Any suggestions?

I guess I would tell him that chemo will often cause you to lose appetite, and that an herbal remedy you know of might help with that important issue. And then I would tell him it's edible MMJ. I would not even try suggesting vaping or smoking. Best to you and your friend!!!

Just lay it out as straight as you can. Tell him that MMJ can help with the sickness from the chemo, and that MMJ is safe. Give him articles about the effectiveness of MJ on chemo patients. Explain that MMJ is legal in California and that it will not do him any harm. Let him know that you care about him and you are there if he has any questions. Ultimately it is his decision if he wants to try MJ for his problems.

Wishing you and your friend lots of luck and good times.
