sciencedaily.com — Scientists have been aware for many years that if cancer patients are not able to deal with the stress associated with being sick, the cancer will progress faster than in calmer patients.To counteract this phenomenon, physicians encourage treatments that help cancer patients handle their stress.

This is EXACTLY why doctors prescribe marijuana for cancer patients.I have never met anyone with cancer undergoing chemo, let alone a patient that used marijuana. I watched an interview recently about a girl that has undergone chemo for years now and she gave her honest opinion on medical marijuana. She said that it helped deal with it and it really helped her push forward through her treatments. She claimed that she was doing very well and that she didn't know if she would be as mentally strong today without the substance. The funny thing is, right after her first treatment, it was her mom that brought home her first bag and asked her to just try it.The battle against many diseases is fueled heavily by your mental wellness and all I can say is, nothing helps you deal with problems better than marijuana. It calms you down and helps you realize that you can deal with a certain problem without having to freak out about everything.

Smoking weed can be a good way to reduce stress if you have a tumor. Also, weed shrinks tumors.

Xanax or valium would be better for stress reduction. Pot even speeds up your heart rate at first.

Thats why ppl who are happy to drink, smoke and eat what they want might live a healthier life than those who permanently stress about doin the right thing.
