 doing and the staff, doctors and nurses apparently approved.
 We were never told to hide Joshes unique form of treatment and
 no objections were raised when we provid(_d other parents with
 the same teas and cookies we made for Josh.

 about marijuana and chemotherapy. Quite a few. Most of these
 parents ended up getting marijuana for their children and

 a period of several years_ we continued this practice and must
 have spoken with scores of other parents. Of those who began
 providing marijuana to a sick child, none ever reported back to
 us that they had encountered any adverse side effects. All of
 those who did contact us after getting marijuana for their
 child thanked us for providing them with information. In the

 of marijuana, their children had significantly reduced
 vomiting. In fact, most said marijuana eliminated vomiting_

 that marijuana actually helped increase Josh_s appetite.
