Smoking is better for experimentation.

If you eat too much cannabis it can leave you devastatingly stoned for hours, even days, whereas if you smoke, you can usually crash that high just by eating a decent meal.

Hopefully it helps his appetite, and takes his mind off his condition for a while.

If he is not an experienced Cannabis smoker than I definitely would not give him edibles first. It is hard to determine exactly how much THC is in each edible. And harder yet to determine how much would be suitable for his situation. I believe that smoking while not always the best method of administration would suit him best, a vaporizer would be even better. Then he could take small hits until he is good. Eating a strong edible his first time may make him sick or too high. Smoking as all of us veterans know is really not the best use of Cannabis due to the fact that so much is wasted in the burning process, and all the carcinogens and butane we ingest. It is said that only 30% of the THC is rendered effective while smoking. While extraction into butter or tinctures one can achieve near 100% THC content. But definetly have him smoke or vaporize his first time out. Also don't have him hold it in like we would do, have him inhale and exhale like you would if you were smoking a cigarette. Good Luck & Get Well Soon

some good advice to not start out on edibles if he has never toked before (or if its been a long time). plus rep for those of you. Start out small to give him the feel . Be there with him to reassure him and make him feel comfortable. Stay with him while he does it for the first few times and talk to him during the "session". Tripping on marijuana by yourself when you are potentially terminally ill is not a good idea. The mind can run to new places, places that were maybe ignored before marijuana "expanded" it.

Just monitor him closely until you know he is good with it. Believe it or not but some people (not many that I know) have tried marijuana and not enjoyed it and it is usually due to their first experience.

Great advice. I wish my dad would have used it when he had c. I just want to add, remember the first time you were there usingMJ and started laughing so much you just couldn't stop? I believe if you help a first time user get in to a laughing mood, they will have a excellent exp. Get better and get as they say in Jamacia "get red".
