What are the good and bad of medical marijuana?

Is there a site where I can research on it?

My dad is 80 with prostate cancer stage 3. And he has been recently taking this medical marijuan and making it into a cookie himself. I know it is licensed in California cause its where he lives. And also, he is on hormone therapy treatment only. Other treatments did not do any good at all.

I really don’t like this marijuana issue even if its licensed. I always see marijuana as an illegal drug and I’m totally against it. This is brand new right? Should I try to convince my dad to stop this while its early?
Other treatments like Chemo and Radiation, did not do anything for my dad. Only hormone therapy is effective on him. I hate this marijuana issue…I’m worried that he might go whacko because of this like other drug addicts.




My father is 81 years old and on stage 3. his been diagnosed for 2 yrs now. he has done chemo and radiation but it was no good. Right now he is only on hormone therapy. that is the only treatment option that would work for my dad. Didn’t do any surgeries and no plans for it. Currently spread into the lymph nodes. Did a bone scan and its clear.

he also tells me, he is on medical marijuana. He puts them into a cookie recipe by making it himself and having them every now and then. he says its legal in the state of where he lives (CA).

Will this drug be a good thing for his body in this condition? his psa is currently 0.33 and has it check every 2-3 months. but after 1 and a half year from now, he is planning to stop the hormone therapy and have psa readings once a month. is that a good suggestion? his doctors might suggest him to do that.

I live and currently studying in New Jersey so this is really worries me all the time.

thanks for your info!




Vaginal Infections GIRLS AND DOCTORS ONLY?

Help! When I was 14 I started my period [September-ish] and in January i started getting this itching, burning, feeling and it hurt to pee–it felt like i had to go, but when i went barely anything came and it burned! It would come and every couple months. My periods still weren’t even regular yet. I know it’s was stupid but i started being sexually ‘playful’ with my boyfriend–which lead to being sexually actuive. and the iching, burning, and everything became a bit more frequent, ever 2 or maybe 3 months, and the symptoms would last about a week. and by now I was almost 16.
My boyfriend and I stopped and we know it was stupid and wrong, and we’ve completely taken care of that, even with our parents and everything so you don’t need to lecture me on that, please. I thought it was a yeast infection around this time so i took some like couple day thing to fix that and used the cream to stop the pain and itching. it went away then, but came back a month or two later.
It wasn’t consistent, and still isn’t, but i never wanted to go to the doctors because i was scared. so at this point in time it’s been at least two years, and it comes and goes.
I started thinking it was a urinary tract infection because all the symptoms for that fit me. and I talked to my dad about it–I’m closer to him then my mom. and i said it would go away and be gone for like 2 to 3 months so it wasn’t a big deal. but he was willing to take me to the doctors and said i should get it checked out.
Now I’m 17 and I’m still with the same guy, and we both have only EVER done stuff with each other, and although it has been over a year since we had sex, we still will play around occasionally but we are always REALLLY careful, like even when we did have ‘sex’ we would always pull out before he even exploded, not mattter if he had a condom on or not. [so i don't even know if you could call that sex to begin with but whatever.]
but right now I’m really scared because today it was itchy, but i went to the bathroom and was totally pain free, but before i went to bed i noticed it was really red, which is unusual for me. Then I noticed on the inside of the ‘lips’ or whatever you want to call them, there are white dots. I know normally there are bumps in the skin[[not huge or anything]] but now the inside skin is bright red, and the bumps are a white-ish color.

I’m really scared, I don’t know what’s wrong with me.
My boyfriend knows, and my dad knows most of it, but i just don’t know what to do.
I have always said once i turn 18 i’ll ask the doctors about it, but going from 14 to 18, would it get worse and turn into something really bad?
I’m scared I may have waited too long, please give advice, besides just simply going to a doctors.
have any of you ever had anything like this?
I mean I have researched it and i know some women get yeast infection every single month for there whole life, am i just that unlucky. :[ Or is something really bad wrong with me
I’m the type of person that jumps to the worst conclusion first, so i reply with your knowledge or opinion would be greatly appreciated!!




How do I deal with my fiance's moodiness?

My fiance seems to get edgy most of the time. How can I avoid that without getting upset at him back? I really don’t care for moody men, but I am deeply in love with him and just needing to know how can I deal with it better, especially in front of the children, his daughter is 16 and my son is 11? It really upsets her when we argue if front of her and my son. Obviously her dad doesn’t care, but I most certaintly do.




I am 17 years old, and my dad is a single parent so he is going to have to be the one to go with me to the obgyn I mainly want to go to start getting the pill so how will that work? Will they tell my dad that I asked for it? Or give me the prescription in front of him? I just don’t want something like that to happen and it be all awkward
Thanks!




Did it involve motorbikes and tight trousers or leather jackets designed for guys in their 20′s? :)
@ POWERANNI – I’m just joking! Can’t ask my Dad – he’s long since gone to that great working mans club in the sky! :)
I’m approaching the female one (menopause) and I don’t even want to have to think about THAT!!!! Eeek!!! lol

Problems With Recent Hot Water Heater Installation?




We had a new hot water heater installed yesterday. My dad flushed the pipes after they were done. The hot water is fine on the upstairs level of the house but the downstairs is having problems. The bath faucet is fine, but to take a shower, the sink faucet has to be turned on hot and even then it only gives 3 to 4 minutes of hot water. What could be causing this and how do we fix it?
Nope, the sink just has the one round thing that you turn left for hot and right for cold

Birth CONTROL!!!!!!?




My mother and my dad’s mother (so it’s on both sides of my family) had breast cancer. My mom keeps telling me that birth control pills will increase my already higher-risk of developing cancer, since birth control pills mess with your hormones.

Is it true? If I take birth control, will it increase my chances of getting cancer? Because my mom had a breast cancer that was hormone receptive.




I know they’re all bleached unfortunately, but which brand that I can get from Wal Mart or a regular grocery store is safest for me to use? My dad doesn’t take me to natural food stores often.
You can wear tampons as a virgin. I’m one, and I wear them sometimes.

And people I don’t want harmful chemicals getting to me.




basically the only thing i have going that seems to be a hormonal imbalance is that i have extremely oily skin. i’ve always suspected that this is some sort of hormonal imbalance and having an overproduction of androgens, especially because i know that i got this oily skin from my dad and so i’m thinking i inherited some kind of hormonal imbalance. how can i find out if this is true and am i supposed to see an endocrinologist or something?

Period…………?




Okay, well, I just got my first period and I have no idea on what type of pad I should use. I don’t have a mom because she died and my dad doesn’t want to talk about it, so I am totally confused.

What are some signs of menopause?




My grandpa (my dad’s father) passed away on Monday, since then my mother (who has been saying and doing crazy things for about the last year) flipped out on us. She screamed at my dad, his oldest sister, and their step mom. Then when I told her to ‘stop it and calm down for a minute’ she yelled at me. After that she stormed out of my grandpa’s house and left for like two hours. Could this be menopause or should I be worried about a more serious problem?




Okay so I’m 16years 5 moths old. I have never had a period. I have pubic hair and all that and boobs (kinda small but there)
I live with my dad and i really don’t want to ask him to take me to the doctor.

Anyway IF it is a hormonal imbalance how would a doctor be able to help anyway?

I’m scared…
