Ep 51 - Cancer and Cannabis: The C Words
Breaking out my serious tone in this week's potcast, because we get serious. About cancer. Cannabis is a known option for treating the effects of chemo and cancer, but then there's the whispers of cancer cures in concentrate forms... Rumors and whispers aren't the most reliable information, and cure is far from what we want to start saying, but even science says cancer shows promising potential. But people don't have time to wait for research! So let's get real about how to go about this, in the labs and in the home. Whether you want to fight against cancer, or just fight for your right to party while living with cancer, cannabis has your back. For this week's Safety Meeting, I talk about an enlightening (and pain relieving!) strain review: Candyland.
