How much does marijuana improve a person's health with this condition? Has anyone had any experience with such treatment?

I can say that the use of marijuana in treating patients with such diseases improves their condition, both physically and psychologically. A  my good friend has HIV, and his doctor prescribed marijuana to suppress stress. He found out a year ago that he was sick, and at the time, it was a shock for him. He felt awful, became depressed, and did not communicate with anyone. I understood him very well and tried to help him. I started searching on the internet for good clinics that help people with this condition. I came across this site https://melbournefunctionalmedicine.com.au/immune-compromisation/hiv and immediately told my friend about it. He didn't mind consulting a doctor. After that, his morale improved, and his life is slowly getting better.

Medical marijuana has been very helpful for a number of patients that we have seen in our functional medicine clinic in Australia.  Patients report a wide variety of improvements from medical marijuana such as improved sleep quality, improved anxiety, less stress etc  This in turn can assist the immune system and allow the body to heal.
