jagT If you want CBD oil, you can find it online, it is not illegal to sell. If you want something with THC, most likely you will need to get a medical ID card. Where are you?

i have seen a few vape places sell it, though I don't know the reliability of brands. I tried a low dose 100mg one many months ago prior to my dx. Took it for anxiety. Did not seem to do anything but again, I don't know the brands and even the quantity to use.

Stanley Brothers in Colorado are well regarded. Oil legal in all 50 states. They are also connected to a group -- Realm of Caring -- that will discuss dosing, etc., with you. You have to call and set up an appt. Very nice group.

The Stanley Brothers contribution to medicine is remarkable. Their product-Charlotte's Web is the leader. Oils can be ordered via their website. This month they are matching a donation to research. I use the highest concentration of the oil twice a day (a dropper) for pain and nausea and helps with anxiety. I use 0.25-0.5 ml (as marked on the dropper) of pure THC for nausea and Bhang bars pure indica or hybrid with CBD to help with sleep.
I have ordered the CBD oil until recently when a health/nutrition store bagan offering Realm of Caring products from the Stanley Brothers. I use a local MM facilty of the remaining products.
I hope to relocate to Colorado in a year or so. One of my children just finished law school @ CU and is in Denver for the first post-graduation year. If they stay-I want to go that direction. Available medication and beauty are the best.

Good info Susan - I am in a non-legal state. So I order the raw CBD / CBDa hemp oil from Europe. Plan was to use it twice a day, both times with melatonin hormone supplement, just a little and some marjoram essential oil diffused in the air, marjoram being the cousin to marijuana. That would give the deep peace and rest that the high of marijuana offers. But no high. I have yet to make good on my plan and am still relying on Xeloda to present me with a stable cancer scan. I want to use both together, but judiciously.
Considering a move to Michigan. Or renting in Alaska for 8 mo a yr.
My oncologist actually left his base profession here in Indiana and moved to Alaska to train under a naturopath so he can help his cancer patients remain more healthy and use less of the chemo and other drugs, thereby prolonging health and ultimately life is his hope. He had seen enough and had to follow his passion. I may follow him.

Bluebird. You can order CWeb from Realm of Caring. I strongly recommend. Strongly. I would love to work with the Stanley Brothers. I am in health care; and despite being older than rock; am considering taking some CE courses to become certified in medical to help patients like us. Your oncologist-sounds like a person I would want to know or work with. Does Michigan have better offerings? Indiana-not even medical available?
-
Michigan has pharmacies. Indiana is leaning toward it but still very tentative.
I miss my oncologist. sigh
-
My oncologist, the one that saved my life, moved to Wisconsin. The new guy; who is about 12; is fine-but just not the same. When I am able to move I will not be sad to leave him.
-
Hope you find a new oncologist with your beliefs and who is thorough and wise. Oncologists NEED to be wise.
