Is anyone aware of weed being used to slow the growth of cancer?
There are a few mouse and in vitro studies [link] that indicate antitumor effects.
Opiates had more of a fun factor for me when I was taking them less often.
Jeez, don't get all Movie of the Week. I was just too cheap to buy you a real present.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Wow, I sound like a junkie, don't I? But this is why I've never tried other drugs I suspect I would like too much.
I used to worry about that until on day four of post-surgery vicodin I was practically crying from being so stupid.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
It had me pondering the red head pain weirdness thing again. I thought it was just that they can need more anesthesia. Turns out is more like "climate change" than "global warming." It's not just one thing is out of whack, the whole system is fercockta - some pain is felt more, some less, medications are screwy... weird stuff.
My niece is like this. Very high pain tolerance, natural carrot top. But she's bald from alopecia, so you wouldn't know she was a redhead.
Oxycodone etc doesn't do anything good for me that Tylenol doesn't do with fewer side effects.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Yeah, I went off Percoset much earlier than my doc wanted post face-break, because I just couldn't take feeling so damn dumb.

Hubby hates what the drugs do to his mind. He told me yesterday that he hated that our favorite Mexican restaurant has closed. I gave him a funny look and said, "I thought they were doing great?" Turns out, he'd forgotten that they'd move a block and a half down the street and that we've eaten at their new location twice. They moved two years ago. He nearly cried when he realized that he'd forgotten all that. Alzheimer's terrifies him beyond all else.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Thanks for the belated birthday wishes. I got my wish, which was that my sister wouldn't die on my birthday. She had been circling the drain in ICU for two days. But honestly I'm pretty close to done with all this. I feel like a total bitch when I say it, but it's just been so hard. And it's not like she was there for me when she was healthy.
oh well, will stop complaining now.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh, Burrell, I'm sorry. That's got to be the hardest part. And belated birthday wishes!

Oh Burrell. (you are in my thoughts, I'm sorry about all of this)
