Animals, especially cats will never give away any signs that they're in pain or hurt if they can. Giving out signals that you're injured is a great way to become some other animals meal. By the sounds of it it sounds like shes ready to die though.

I guess once cancer is in the lungs it can spread everywhere easily, so sorry.

if the cat is still eating, i wouldnt put her to sleep, my cat died of cancer in the house, she didnt show any signs of pain and was still eating so we figured why bring her to a vet to off her, leave her comfortably in the house

Aw man. 
It's never easy losing a close pet, but things will be fine with time.

put the cat to sleep. people keep them alive too long. Most of the time they hold on for themselves, rather than the sake of the animal.
Just because it doesn't hurt doesnt mean its not suffering. Labored breathing doesn't hurt, just means you cant get breathe to your lungs..

Cancer isn't restricted to humans. There's no curing it with weed or a secret blend of herbs and spices. From the sound of things, the cancer is pretty well-progressed. There's no magic cure for advanced cancers, certainly not feeding a pitiful animal weed.
At this point, the most humane thing would be to put selfish attachment aside and euthanise the animal. If it has stopped eating and drinking, it is close to the end and you'd only prolong its suffering by indulging your own weakness.

weed wont necessarily cure it the cancer, but it may help your cat feel at ease for the time being. its too soon to lose hope imo..

The animal has multiple cancerous growths on the lungs and grossly enlarged kidneys, which could be a result of feline polycystic kidney disease. There's no maybes at this point. The animal is suffering and it is time to let it be put to rest.

Cancer is pretty popular with cats, usually pops up in their last two years. Everyone would get it if they lived long enough.

It would be stupid to give hash oil to the cat if he doesn't even know whether the tumour would respond to cannabinoids.
