In [[1996]] McWilliams was diagnosed with both [[cancer]] and [[AIDS]]. Subsequently, he was required to take a lot of pills--14 different medications. But like many cancer patients, Peter was unable to keep his pills down to stay alive due to intense nausea, thereby rendering the pills useless. His 15th drug, an antinausia medication, wasn't working. So, instead, he began taking marijuana. Again, like many cancer patients, he also found that smoking marijuana relieved the intense nausea and soothed the constant pain he was in, thus allowing him, not only take his pills, but to also keep them down. Marijuana kept him alive. | In [[1996]] McWilliams was diagnosed with both [[cancer]] and [[AIDS]]. Subsequently, he was required to take a lot of pills--14 different medications.
