The article relates specifically to HIV, but I can't help wondering if it might translate to other retroviruses, since another retrovirus may someday be proven to be the cause of my illness, ME...

It's a long, scholarly article but the essence is, benefits of cannabis for HIV are not limited to pain relief and appetite improvement. Antiviral effects have been found. hxxp://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0033961
Vaporising can reduce inflammation of joints.

well the reason i smoke cannabis is because i suffer from severe nausea from my anti viral med's for hiv , plus help's me eat better and feel normal ( no sickness , hungry , no joint pains happy and relaxed ) as also suffer from reactive arthritus which means i get regular joint pains at random spots in my body if i'm lucky only last a few days to a few week's if bad?
