It increases appitite and is a good pain killer. But there are many other medicinal qualites assosiated with the stuff. It would only come in a regular looking container perscribed by the doctor if it was in the form of THC pills

Hi,
I know they used prescription marajuana for cancer patients sometimes, depending on how sever it is.. Alot of patients have severe side effects and they do need to treat it with this.. I know that they do use it for a few other things for your eye site, i believe glocoma. but i am not sure of what the rest are..
With Cancer many people use it in the hospital or at home with supervision.. If a container dosent have a doctors name on it I dont believe that it is prescribed by a doctor, espically a prescription like this..
Hope this helped
Deb

glaucoma, nausea of chemotherapy, and to improve appetite in wasting diseases like aids.
Recently, it has been stated that it lowers the incidence of Alzheimer's as it has an anti-inflammatory activity on the brain.
Smoking it longterm probably is not healthy for the lungs.
I have seen nursing home patients prescribed antidepressants for depression due to being placed in a nursing home against their will. Given that they are not driving around or raising kids, it seems they should be given an additional choice of therapy that would actually work, and at the same time not bankrupt medicare.

In Canada, Marijuana is prescribed to control pain or increase appetite. It is shipped via courier, and comes in a foil package with your name on it. It doesn't come in a bottle.

Its a euphoriate,

Thats why its illegal, we cant live without war.
