Is Arizona pretty liberal in the medical usage? In my state of ILlinois it's darn near impossible to get setup on the medical system. My girlfriend was going through chemo and radiation for over two years for breast cancer and couldn't get medical marijuana because she wasn't stage 4.

I know some people are rah rah weed and so am I but I know sometimes to outsiders it seems like were all just a bunch of stoners but my gf literally says weed saved her life. When she was goign through treatment they would give her mediciation for appetite or nausea but now she's taking like 40 pills per day, those pills all have side effects which they then needed to give her more pills for. Smoking some weed or eating some edibles were the only thing that made her a little more comfortable and allowed her to get food down and keep it down.

Obviously my state didn't make medical weed available so we had to take matters into our own hands and do what we needed to do to get it for her but I always found it very sad that other women going to treatment with her and/or women who were in her support group may not have had connections to get weed/medicine and had to go with the pharmaceutical stuff which was much more inneffective and caused as many prolbems as it fixed.
