Brief Answer:
Yes medical cannabis can be used
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for using Healthcaremagic.
I do not think there is any problem in using medical cannabis for palliative care at the end stage of life. Like morphine it can be used safely without any untoward effects.
You can discuss with her treating medical team for prescription of medical cannabis to her. In case it is approved in your state there must be no problem (only half of US states) for the treating team to do needful.
I hope this answers your question.
Thanks and regards
