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 antinausea medication, wasn't working. So, instead, he began taking marijuana. Like many other cancer patients, smoking marijuana relieved the intense nausea and also soothed the constant pain he was in, allowing him keep his pills down and stay alive. | In [[1996]] McWilliams was diagnosed with both [[cancer]] and [[AIDS]].
