Hello everyone.
I just got diagnosed with breast cancer a couple of weeks ago. I've been convinced in medicinal properties of cannabis for years, but now it became personal.
As you can imagine the doctors, friends and family are pushing for chemo, radiation and surgery, so the pressure is there. I just spoke to my nurse coordinator and she said they don't know what stage it is because, she said, I'm so young, my breast so dense and I have no prior mammogram.
The greatest obstacle to making my own oil is how to obtain the needed Indica strains. I've smoked bud for 20 years now who imagined it would be so difficult to get what I need.... because of the desired THC content. I've had the lump in my breast for 8 weeks now, I'm getting pretty desperate as I don't know how long I've had the cancerous cells. Despite my suggestion not to buy any oil premade due to scammers, hubby went behind my back and bought the 30% CBD oil today online.(

I know he's only trying to help, but I don't think that's what I need. It was quite expensive (about $400) but I couldn't persuade him otherwise.
Here's some questions, hopefully someone can advise:
1. Am I messing myself up if I start the oil hubby bought that has no THC content? should I wait with it until I can obtain the RSO oil? or can I safely start with this commercial one?
2. I live in Maryland. Cannabis isn't legal here, but there are dispensaries in DC. would it raise a red flag if I suddenly tried to obtain a residency in DC so I become eligible for medical csnnabis? It doesn't seem hard to make the oil, but obtaining the Indica seems so hard. I looked at the seeds and will talk to hubby layer today about growing it ourselves. This man, until recently so much against week because it's illegal, is now willing to drop our life as we know it, pack up our stuff and our kids and move to Colorado, just so I could be better. He believes in the oil more than I do now, but just this summer we had an argument because I came home high.
3. I keep seeing Colorado this Colorado that. Do I need a licence to visit a dispensery there or could I just travel there and purchase the needed strain legally?
4. Does anyone know people who have beaten the cancer with RSO oil and are still alive? Maybe even people who have not done chemo first? Possibly breast cancer survivors?
I feel so alone, everyone trying to be sympathetic but it's not the same. Plus everyone around me is looking at me like i'm crazy for declining chemo and they even play the "you have your kids to think about, don't be selfish with your weed mumbo-jumbo" card.
Thanks everyone in advance, I've read some threads on the topic on this website and they helped some, so I figured I make my own thread and get answers/advice based on my case.
