I really need help convincing my mother in law to try medical cannabis. She just had a masectomy last week after being diagnosed with both non aggressive and aggresive breast cancer. I urged her to try medical cannabis to help with her surgery recovery and pain and nasuea from the pain medication and she shrugged it off and the pamphlet from ASA I printed out for her. I read her some studies and she just pointed out their are studies to back whatever you want to say.
After a while I finally got it out of her that she was afraid of being in an altered state of conciousness, especially once she starts her teaching job again. And she thinks it's a dangerous gateway drug that causes cancer even though I provided her with studies that said the oppisite. Studies basically don't mean anything to her.
Anyway, I thought, fine, it's her choice.
But she found out today the cancer was more aggressive than they thought and she will have to start chemo as soon as she recovers from her surgery.
She's going to get really sick and I'm worried about her. I hate to think stupid propaganda and a bad rep will keep her from using something that will not only keep her cancer in check but also the nasuea from the cancer treatments. What would you all say to her to convince her to try it?
