October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, a time to rally support, raise awareness, and emphasize the need for compassionate care.
At Aloha Green Apothecary, we are privileged to serve many cancer patients who have found cannabis to be an effective tool in managing the symptoms and side effects of their treatment.
While conventional treatments remain critical, many patients turn to complementary therapies like cannabis for additional relief. The American Cancer Society, notes that cannabis has shown potential in managing pain, nausea, and loss of appetite—common side effects of cancer treatments. Patients undergoing breast cancer treatment often face harsh side effects, and medical cannabis can provide a natural option for relief.
At Aloha Green Apothecary, we understand the importance of supporting the whole person—not just the disease. To help ease the challenges faced by breast cancer patients, we’ve carefully curated the Beat Breast Cancer Bundle. This collection of cannabis-based products is designed to offer comfort during treatment. While we always recommend consulting with physicians, many patients have shared positive experiences using cannabis alongside their conventional treatments.
What’s in the Bundle:
-
- Tiny Bubbles DrinkIngesting cannabis is often a better option for cancer patients, particularly those battling breast cancer. While THC has numerous benefits, we do not recommend smoking cannabis during treatment due to its potential to irritate the lungs and compromise respiratory health.
Instead, our Tiny Bubbles drink provides a fast-acting, easy-to-ingest alternative, allowing patients to experience the benefits of THC without smoking. This refreshing beverage is a popular choice for relieving symptoms like nausea and pain.
- Windward Ease Chews (10-Pack)Gummy by AGA, Sour Strawberry Lychee (CBG/THC)
These chews combine the therapeutic effects of THC with CBG, a lesser-known cannabinoid that has shown great potential for managing breakthrough pain and may offer anti-tumor properties based on early studies (source). With each chew, patients can experience relief while enjoying the tangy, refreshing flavor of strawberry lychee.
- 1:1 TinctureTinctures offer one of the most precise ways to consume cannabis. Measured in mg of CBD and THC per ml, they allow patients to start with small doses and adjust as needed to find the right balance. For example, you might begin with 0.25 ml and increase as needed. This gives patients control over their consumption, enabling them to fine-tune their experience for optimal results.
