This is a common problem for people who are going through chemotherapy. Sometimes chemotherapy can make it really hard to eat or even sit up. The usual medicines for nausea do not work for everybody. That is why a lot of people with cancer try cannabis. Some studies show that one third of cancer patients have tried cannabis after they found out they had cancer. Most people who try cannabis say it really helps them feel better, with less nausea, less pain, and an increased appetite.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c4c3e9c elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"c4c3e9c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tThis guide will tell you what the research says about cannabis.

It goes after the cells that grow quickly. The lining of your stomach and intestines also grows quickly. So chemotherapy often bothers this lining too. When this lining gets upset it sends a message to the part of your brain that controls vomiting. This can happen before you even feel queasy. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theweedythings.com\/blog\/how-medical-marijuana-can-enhance-therapeutic-treatments\/\">Certain chemotherapy drugs<\/a><\/strong>, like cisplatin are known to cause this problem. They make the serotonin in your gut go up. This hurts the nerve endings that are connected to the vagus nerve. If you have radiation therapy near your brain or stomach you might get nausea too. Not having water in your body and being constipated can make the nausea even worse. Understanding why nausea happens can help us see why cannabis helps some people who are getting chemotherapy while other medicines work better for people.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-76da91d elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"76da91d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">How Cannabis Helps With Chemotherapy-Induced Nausea\n<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9e88380 elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"9e88380\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tCannabis is really helpful for people who feel sick after chemotherapy.
