It's so sad that people are finally given cannabis palliatively once they're on their deathbed. Cannabis should be prescribed immediately, and not just for the pain and nausea but to actually treat it. When we were staying at the Ronald McDonald House in Vancouver to have our son, we met a boy dying of bone cancer. He was given all kinds of hard phamaceuticals for the pain, and even on his deathbed, at 17-years-old, doctors wouldn't even prescribe cannabis for pain. Luckily the parents were on-board with the idea and actually knew somebody who made cannabis, but I don't know if it was too late.
