You have been requested to take part in a study to see whether marijuana should be regarded as a medical treatment option for cancer patients.

The goal of this study is to investigate the beneficial and negative effects of marijuana on cancer patients.

If you accept to participate in the research project, you will be requested to: Conduct thorough research activities, including interviews with medical practitioners, on the effects of utilizing marijuana as a treatment alternative for cancer patients.I will also be required to liaise with the medical practitioners in interviewing cancer patients using Marijuana as a medical option on the benefits and risks they experience while using the drug as a cure.

Possible risk or discomfort associated with this study is: Spending much time in hospitals or medical facilities will be a discomfort. Also, interviewing cancer patients will be discomfort since some are likely to experience sickness during the interviews. Also, carrying out medical tests alongside the medical practitioners will be a discomfort on my side since I am not a medical student.

Possible benefit from this study is: It will help provide concrete evidence on whether Marijuana is a worthy medicine option for cancer patients or not.
