Recently diagnosed with Stage 4 Cancer

I've been recently diagnosed with Stage 4 Ovarian cancer. I live in the state of TN. But I was wondering if it is possible to get medical marijauna out of state legally?

Any help or advice would be appreciated. I know my nurse prac recomended CBD oil but I've read the THC in cannabis is beneficial for cancer treatment.

...Civil Disobedience, and on that ethical basis do what you need to do to survive.

Here in California, we have troves of out of state Boomers heading straight for the weed stores! I have NO DOUBT that a fair share are Trump-voting Republicans.

Damn their hypocrisy and it's a shame you of all people cannot access this legally in Tennessee.

I’m sure there are tons of sources but it’s the one I know. From that page:

Yes! More research is always needed--no matter what the subject. Cannabis is showing great promise in treating many types of cancer (brain-gliomas, breast, leukemia, skin). The effect of CBD and THC on the GPR55 receptor may hold the key. https://www.midwestcompassion.org/2018/04/30/can-cbd-block-the-effects-of-the-cancer-causing-endocannabinoid-receptor-gpr55/
