Cannabinoids for nausea and vomiting in adults with cancer receiving chemotherapy.

“Cannabis has a long history of medicinal use.

Cannabis-based medications (cannabinoids) are based on its active element, delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), and have been approved for medical purposes.

Cannabinoids may be a useful therapeutic option for people with chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting that respond poorly to commonly used anti-emetic agents (anti-sickness drugs).

Cannabis-based medications may be useful for treating refractory chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting.”
