Cannabis and Cancer: Arthur's Story

In this personal story and compelling call for the legalization of cannabis for medical use, the author portrays graphically the relief her terminally ill husband suffering from prostate cancer gained from using cannabis, the reactions they encountered, and their fear of arrest
as they grew plants and spoke publicly of the issue. This is a remarkable account of how this octogenarian couple transformed Arthur's final months. A lessening of pain and nausea, regained appetite, a general improvement in well-being, and a greater degree of independence were achieved through Reilly's use of this extensively used and widely accepted?but illegal?substance.
