Cannabis for Nausea & Appetite
Cannabis strains that users report may help with nausea and appetite stimulation. THC is the primary cannabinoid associated with anti-nausea effects and appetite stimulation. This is one of the most well-studied therapeutic applications of cannabis, with synthetic THC (dronabinol/Marinol) being an approved anti-nausea medication in Canada.
What to Look For
Strains with moderate THC are commonly recommended for nausea. For appetite stimulation, indica strains are often preferred. Cannabis oils or vaporizers allow for quick onset when nausea strikes. Edibles may be difficult to take when nauseous, so inhalation or sublingual oils are preferred. Ginger-flavoured cannabis edibles combine natural anti-nausea properties. For chemotherapy patients, speak with your oncology team about integrating cannabis into your care plan.
