MARIJUANA RELIEVES SEVERE NAUSEA

Columbia, SC - It is good news that legislators are considering a law 
to allow doctor-prescribed use of marijuana. More than 20 states that 
have approved its use for nausea. The primary reason, as I understand 
it, is that most pain medication has after-effects of severe nausea.

I am prescribed several medications to eliminate the pain I 
experience due to neuropathy; however, they cause extreme nausea. I 
certainly would appreciate being able to use medical marijuana to 
relieve severe nausea, as I am sure many others would be.

I believe that legislators will find more and more states approving 
marijuana for the treatment of nausea.
