Those who battle cancer at close range understand marijuana's legitimacy in treating nausea caused by chemotherapy.  For patients who can't keep anything down (including Marinol pills), the risks of smoking are negligible when compared to imminent starvation.  Likewise, people using marijuana as an adjunct therapy are better able to digest swallowed medications, thereby enhancing their effect.

For these and other reasons, CMM-NJ was among many friends at the American Cancer Society's
Relay for Life at the Freehold Raceway on June 18 and 19.  We signed up forty new members, handed out information and talked to a whole lot of folks about medical marijuana, and we helped raise money for
cancer research.

Thanks to all the Sean McGrath Medicinal Marijuana Relay Team volunteers who ran the CMM-NJ booth from 10am Saturday to 7:30 am Sunday, and to all our new friends!
