Could an 84 year old man who has never used pot, use it to help and try to cure his p

Prostate cancer? Seeing as he doesn't know anything about the psychotropic effects of weed and that he had a heart attack earlier in life, I'm wondering if it is a good idea? I mean, 84 is pretty old. What do you think? Please help RIU, this is serious.

Thanks

There is a good video on the effectiveness of hemp oil on pretty much everything, might be worth watching. I'll try and find it for you...

http://www.phoenixtearsmovie.com/ there it is. Bout all I can suggest sorry....

I know, thanks.. the Rick Simpson story...

The fact that the person has never tried it and has had a heart attack previously scares me... I would certainly not want to cause them any extra harm.. They are open about this stuff and I have talked to them about it, but the possible affects, especially during this age???

I dont think it will cure it but, if he is in pain or feeling sick it may help...

No, so far he is not in much pain and is taking some sort of anti-cancer medication...That is another thing... The cancer is kinda dormant.

I dunno mate, 84 is a pretty good stay at the crease....

By crease, do you mean the ass crease of Earth?

Sorry, aussie saying referring to cricket, 84 is a pretty good score. I think I would be happy to make it that far personally

Hmmmm, thanks for your opinions man!! That's an interesting saying... Anybody else have anything they'd like to share?

Awww comon, there has to be more advice out there!!!!

one of my grandparents takes a lil mj for back pains etc. i would recommend maybe they eat a little in a cake or something that they like to eat and see how they feel, just dont use too much

Thanks B3NNY, keep em' coming.

I don't think it would cause any harm shredder. I wish my gran would smoke some MJ, she suffers from chronic pain, but I just don't think she'd take any non prescribed medication whatsoever. I've spoken to her about it, but judging her reaction, I can't see it happening.

Certainly wont cure it, but it can help with treatment side effects. There's a drug they sometimes give to chemo patients to help with the side effects called Marinol. The active ingredient is a synthetic form of THC.

Though, I wouldn't recommend eating it for a first timer, it's much more difficult to control dosage. Say he doesn't like the feeling of being high, well, he's already eaten a bunch of it so it's too late now. I personally don't like cooking my weed for this reason, I usually miss my target high level and end up only a little high or way too stoned.

In all though it's a good way to deal with any pain or treatment side effects he may have, but it wont get rid of the cancer.

I am fairly sure though that if he tried smoking a little it wouldn't do him harm... unless maybe coughing hurts?

I dont have much to offer but I would make hemp oil if I were you and give it a shot. They say it cures moles, and cures cancer but I have never seen it work. It doesn't get you high so I dont know what the effect on the heart would be. I know very little about hemp oil other than the miracles others have claimed.

I wish him the best, prostate cancer took my grandpa from me.

i dont know anything about this but for the very least, i suggest small dosage for starters and make sure you somehow filter the smoke so its smooth and not harmful to the lungs. in my opinion, he should at least try a small dose just because everyone needs to experience a high in their lifetime.

must be very low grade, i mean very.

I'm with you on that one. I always get way to high when baking with cannabutter or oil. That cetainly wouldn't make for a good high to a new user.

I don't think its gonna cure any type of cancer including prostate. Maybe curb the pain a bit but certainly not cure it..
