    I beg to differ… I quit smoking 7 months ago and have gained 20 pounds since then. 🥲 I think smoking was messing with my sense of smell

      I read something about how maybe you don’t want to force yourself to eat too much when dealing with cancer, but that was in Peter Attia’s book outlive, and even though there were sources (that I didn’t look at), he’s probably a pedophile and now I don’t know if it’s good information.

      There’s other [experimental] drugs like that, but they don’t work as well. They do keep you sober though, but on chemo the painkiller and dissociative effects of cannabis are a huge plus.

        Disagree. As a former opiate addict painkillers are evil incarnate. Even if it’s prescribed. They help with pain but they ruin your life even worse. There’s not really an alternative as effective however and that says a lot about the nature of medicine as an industry. My cousin was in a horrible accident and will be on opiates for the rest of his life and is a mere outline of the actual person he used to be. I thank God’s I don’t even believe in that I managed to get help.

        Edit - I thought you said the effects of painkillers were a huge plus. My bad.
