PHARMACY BOARD URGED TO OK POT
LINCOLN -- As his wife was slowly dying from cancer, Craig, Neb.,
farmer DeJay Monson turned to something that had helped him overcome
seizures and migraine headaches arising from a childhood school-bus
accident.
Feeding his wife, Dana, marijuana, baked in foods or infused in
liquids, returned some function to her life, Monson said Monday,
fighting back tears.
The pot was much more effective than morphine and other drugs she was
given for the pain, he said. According to Monson, the growth of the
massive tumors in his wife's chest slowed considerably, allowing her
to live longer and enjoy her five children before she died this spring.
