Hey RIU,

I recentley found out that my younger sister has stage 3 breast cancer. Thinking my life couldn't get any worse last night I found out it's stage 4! The cancer has spread to her lympth nodes, in her neck and in her bones......I'm gonna fuckn lose my mind and dont have anyone to talk to about this. I need guidance, reassurance.

I just dont know what to do but tell her that I love her and it's gonna be ok.....so me being me began to prepare for the bumpy ass road ahead since her chemo starts within the next day or 2 began to do research in regards to mmj helping her chemo.

My sister is very "goody goody", very preppy, doesnt do drugs or party. She was just released from the Navy after doing 3 tours over seas for our country. I want her to be not miserable but calm cool and collected. I told her about MMJ main uses were for cancers and stuff and was legalized for people in specific with cancers to help them through chemo and eat, but she wants to become a Federal Agent when this is said and done.....

My question is RIU, If she has stage 4 cancer and get her MMJ card to help her ease her pain in the next weeks. When (and I'm praying) it is in remission could the Federal Government deny her application due to smoking marijuana? Shes worried that when they polygraph her she will be denied for using marijuana in the last 10 years......does she have a shot or no????

Much Thanks All

dam thats bad news, iam so sorry and i send some positive vibes to your sister, you, and your whole fam! that federal agent issue is pretty sketchy, but i think if it ever came down to it they would understand self medicating to help ease the side effects of cancer and chemo... there is a type of oil used specifically for cancer, there are threads somewhere on here about it but i forgot what its called.. i will look around for it!!!

My nephew is 25 and already had cancer twice. He's fine now, except for being a liar, thief, pill popping loser. In jail now waiting for sentencing for robbing a girls house who stood by him through it all. Anyways pot really, really helped with the chemo, I really thought the whole medical thing was just an excuse, but it really helped him deal with chemo. I remember him telling me that all his teeth just ached, couple puffs, he's asleep. The doctor actually pulled him aside and told him, he's not supposed to say this but he should get some marijuana cigarettes. So card or not "medicine" will probably help her. And I just couldn't see being denied a job over those circumstances. I hope nothing but the best for your sister and family. I don't really believe in god, but if there is one I hope he looks out for your sister.

I doubt that would be a big problem since our President has used also. Praying for her man, stay strong

Are you nuts?

Your sister has much more important things to worry about then whether or not years from now, some bureaucrat might hypothetically deny her application for a Federal job based on past medical use of cannabis.

See here:


Here is my suggestion: First have your sister do whatever it takes to make herself healthy and feel OK now. Worry about the hypotheticals if they come up.

If she beats this, and then if she still feels like applying for some Federal job, and then if they ask her about using cannabis, then she has two choices:

a. She can tell them that when she was fighting metastatic cancer, she used it under medical supervision of her physician, but not before or since, and is perfectly willing and able to document this. Anyone who disqualifies her based on that is an idiot, and she probably wouldn't want to work for them anyway.

b. Lie about it. . .under polygraph. . .and let the chips fall where they may. If she isn't able or willing to lie to the Federal gov't about stupid crap, is she really ready to become a Federal agent?

I've got to agree with this. You need to slap some sense into your sister.
