Depending on the cancer, it is usually prescribed to patients who are suffering from severe pain to ease them; calm them down. This is not recommended to people who have throat cancer or anything of that nature, since MJ gives you an extreme hunger. So if you have diffuculty swallowing things, stay away from the marijuana technique. Also, if you do decide to use this method, make sure to remove the 'stems' and 'seeds,' as they taste bad and will most likely give you a major headache.
