Medical Marijuana & Severe Nausea

Severe, persistent nausea can accompany many conditions and treatments — from chemotherapy and chronic illness to digestive disorders. Beyond discomfort, ongoing nausea can lead to appetite loss, dehydration, and weight loss.

The antiemetic (anti-nausea) properties of cannabinoids are among the most established benefits of medical marijuana. For appropriately selected patients, medical cannabis can calm nausea and vomiting even when other medications have not worked.

A certified physician can assess the underlying cause of a patient’s nausea and recommend whether medical cannabis is a suitable option for relief.
