I remember when she was first dx'd with cancer.

People at boingboing were encouraging her to make sure she had cannabis for her chemo and she was very concerned about interactions and issues with her immune system.

I'm glad to see that she has been able to live a better life because she has access to medical marijuana.

Too bad that so many states don't offer this for their residents. If you have cancer, better to have it in certain states, iow.
