MMJ for use with brain tumor?

Discussion in 'Medical Marijuana Usage and Applications' started by ImAsweatyBoy, Oct 25, 2009.

  1. #1 ImAsweatyBoy, Oct 25, 2009
    Hey GC, i was wondering about using medical marijuana to slow the growth of tumors in the brain and if anyone else has any information on this subject. The reason i was wondering is because i have a olive sized tumor on my brain stem, they still arnt sure exactly what kind of tumor it is but i have seen afew articles on line about MMJ slowing the growth on tumors in the brain and was wondering if there was anyway under washington states laws that i would be elgiable for MMJ.
