I have heard about the use of the use of marijuna `s use for glucoma and
during the use of chemo therapy for the nausea, but what is the word
(insecticide) got to do with marijuna?Just curious.Im an old hippy and never
heard that before.
Don`t think i still do the things i use to do.I don`t but feel there is
definetley a place for its (marijuna`s) use. If i ever had to have chemo i
would be lookin.I `ve seen to many people suffer and vomit for the duration
of the treatment. lol
Just someone tell me about the insecticide please.
