In the form of cannabis oil. It can be very beneficial to some patients. We also use caffeine on some patients. The medicinal mrajuana that you are talking about can be very beneficial to cancer patients, people who suffer from epilepsy or are perhaps living in alot of pain (to name a few conditions). I am not at liberty to discuss how it is made etc, but after watching a program on it I understand that it does not contain the high that you actually get from smoking it. It apparently comes in a different form. As a nurse I do not see anything wrong with medicinal marajuana or anyother form of medication as long as it is prescribed and used within the bounds of the laws of the land. LIke it has been mentioned opiates and other drugs can be very addictive or leave the patient with very complex side effects. Be prayerful about whatever path you take to deal with health issues.

Your doctor means well but is trained by the Gadiantons warned and forewarned of in D&C 89:4). The result is that one bishop will say NOT even consider using MJ for cancer (“go see your doctor only”) while another will tell you MJ can sometimes be of God’s own healing, as the real Word of Wisdom indicates if you read between the lines, first understandg the real roots and intent of it far beyond 4 distracting don’ts which blind us from the very root – verse 4. Even tobacco, alcohol and coffee have true medicinal uses far less dangerous (yet actually health-promoting – that’s the real WoW) and far more healthy than modern cancer treatments, as does MJ when PROPERLY used for cancer… (D&C 46:7 & D&C 58:26 & D&C 89:4 – stay away from the toxic foods AND medicines of the arm of flesh – Gadiantons). Yet so many worship the idols of modern foods AND medicines which have now become as toxic and more toxic than the 4 don’ts (D&C 89:4).

Today’s foods and medicines are one more dangerous thing we ignorantly worship as today’s idols (I did too…), as prophesied. As Christ posed, over and over, do we “have ears to hear?” By the way, many WHOLESOME healing herbs are warned against by the FDA and AMA as being dangerous, even though they fight epilepsy, cancer and much more, without side effects and deaths, far better than any REFINED and dangerous drugs and radiation do today (which kill hundreds of thousands in the US per year, properly prescribed and used – of God, really???), yet those conspiring men who took over our food AND herbs/medicine (D&C 89:4), tell us that God’s healing herbs are either infective, dangerous or deadly, as are their wares, in reality.

SEEK and Use wisdom. Choosing health by the arm of flesh, or by God, IS a choice and should remain so.

All the best in your own search for truth and healing. Self accountability, seeking, learning and putting your own health in your own hands and being led by the Spirit, and not by fears instilled by conspiring men and passed on to others, most often well-meaning, and on to us through them.

I got my health back, finally, after figuring all of this out, by the Spirit, to seek and learn and compare and determine attractive lies and fear based lies verses the healing truly of God

Lots is out there, truth and lies, in and out of govt and in and out of the church, even lies posing modern food and medicine as “goodness and as your only savior.” (D&C 89:4 & D&C 46:7 & 2 Nephi 28: 14-21 & Mormon 8: 35-38)

Just as Tabbaco was made for medical use, marijuana as well. So, the proper use of marijuana is not considered a sin, since it was made for our own benefit. If you smoke it, or if you smoke tobbaco, you’re NOT using it properly. You must be careful not to transgress any government laws because in some countries, any type of marijuana useage is considered a crime. If it is ok where you live, be wise as you use it. Just a reminder, ….Only for medical purposes! Don’t smoke it. It would be against the word of wisdom. Wish you the best
