None of us will really know the whole truth in our lifetime of the benefits or lack of of using cannabis based treatments.

Who will pay for multiple studies to prove something so easy to cultivate and process actually provides the benefits of drugs costing billions to develop?

There are some published studies and in Israel, for one, many clinical trials do exist.

What is obvious to me is; as a treatment it provides quality of life. Greg is evidence of that. He's a little more goofy than surly these days but he is living life not feeling like **** while chemo and radiation kills his body in an attempt to fight the cancer.

None of us know what time we really have left so the most important thing is to make the best of the time we are here.



If you A-holes had ANY idea how sick I was mid May ------ and if you could SEE me now..... you'd be blown away! You would bet me big money to prove I DID NOT have cancer, because that's the way you'd feel if you saw me.

I drove most all the way home today --- that's about 6+ hours of driving. I only hit 155mph once..... then Gwen turned green.... LOL

F CANCER!

So after a whirlwind 9 or 10 day trip - which included tracking at Sonoma - lots of late night (for me) activity --tons of fantastic friends etc.... Then we ended up going to Napa for a couple days -- played golf -- ate dinner at The French Laundry (important only because it runs half the night and is rich with lots of sauces and that sort of thing). Then Gwen got the wild hair to act on my suggestion of driving a Porsche Convertible home.... which set Alex into a frenzied car search. Bingo - now we have a drive to Los Angeles.... and it's heat and smog and traffic and...... off we go. Two days of driving (unplanned) and we end up in Lake Tahoe..... and then finally home last night.

Why is that significant? Because driving up the valley -- we get an invite to go straight to dinner at Rickshaw rather than going home and collapsing..... I say Heck yeah! This is a big change. Just huge. Three weeks ago I'd have said - no thanks I need to go home and call Hospice.

This morning I woke up with "I wonder what I should do today" ----- instead of my usual shuffle to the coffee pot and then sit by the fire pit and sip a 1/3rd cup of coffee. I'm on my second full cup..... and am looking forward to the day!

#F cancer!


BY THE WAY ----- this is not just ME trying to talk myself into feeling better! I FEEL better! I would have expected to wake this morning and be sluggish and feeling a bit pooped or like I've "over done it". Nope. It's not to be.

I've now backed off the THC/CBD combo and am "only" ingesting (not smoking) .3 ml each per dose - and am doing this now TWICE per day. ZERO stoner feeling and this is almost as much as they want you to work up to! LOL

If you're thinking we are going to get tired of hearing how much better you are doing, we are not. Rock on GW.
