Terminal Diagnosis or Equivalent Symptoms

Prescribed Marijuana for Hamburg, NY | Adult Health DNP

MEDICAL MARIJUANA FOR END-OF-LIFE CARE

When you or a loved one has been diagnosed with a terminal illness, the goal of hospice care and other similar services is to help the patient feel as comfortable as possible. However, many patients will “give up” and become extremely withdrawn and depressed. Others will refuse to take any medications at all, asking “what’s the point?” 

Terminal illnesses often involve several other side effects in addition to pain. These include nausea and depression. Traditional prescription medications that are often used for these symptoms usually have a lot of possible side effects. However, there have been many patients who have had some success in controlling these symptoms with prescription cannabis.

Medical marijuana can go a long way toward reducing nausea, vomiting, and loss of appetite that are typically associated with a terminal disease such as cancer or AIDS. It can also go a long way toward improving mood, and usually does so immediately when inhaled. On the contrary, other prescription anti-depressants have a “waiting period” before the full effects are known.
