Cannabis sativa and Chemotherapy

One of the unavoidable side effects of chemotherapy drugs used to treat cancer is killing of healthy cells. Hence, following the chemotherapy treatments, the patient may experience various adverse effects like nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite and loss of control over the body. Medical Cannabis sativa is an effective natural antiemetic, which helps in overcoming nausea, thus allowing the patient to enjoy meals. Medical Cannabis sativa is administered by smoking rather than taking orally.
