As a nurse that doesn't actively have time to find these resources while I'm working with patients, this thread makes my heart so happy. Healthcare is insufferable to navigate and to see people helping each other chokes me up. Thank you and every commenter w/ resources for being truly kind.

The "reducing tumor growth" claim is so wildly irresponsible.

I'm not an expert but I think that would come down to a possible discrimination problem, which hasn't proved to really hold up. I work for an employer that does not hire cigarette smokers. Period. Considering we are the largest employer in my county, it was a pretty big deal. People pitched a bitch about it for about a week or so but have now given up because it fits with the companies morals of providing the best care by the most informed, kind, and educated staff. Having someone who smells like smoke or has obvious indicators of smoking cigarettes tell you its in your best interest to stop smoking is kind of ridiculous.

Would it be over consumption of porn or just masturbating too much?

I see a lot of misinformation about how "weed cures cancer" and the like spread across social media when multiple studies have proven that smoking or edibles have little to no impact on treatment of the cancer itself. It is proven to help with side effects of other treatments courses though, which I fully support and think is great. While you are battling to fight misinformation against your cause, do you feel any personal obligation to try and stop that spread of misinformation for peoples overall health/treatment option decisions?
