Cancer and Cannabis

Since it’s been legalized in many places, many have found that it’s helpful not just for lowering the symptoms, but also is good for making cancer less sever in a lot of people. This is especially true in those who are getting radiotherapy and chemotherapy. 

Cannabis is medicinal since it offers active compounds within this, binding to various receptors, and is used in medicine, especially ayurvedic medicine in order to treat different infections, gastrointestinal, neurological, and respiratory conditions. It’s been used to treat hundreds of various conditions, and it’s something that many are still dying to this day, to get the full potential of this. 

Can all types Benefit from This 

Some of these different cancers affect different functions and organs. Cancer is basically the sudden growing at a rate that’s not controllable, spreading everywhere, and is mostly changed by the genes in the body, so many believe it’s genetic in cause, and it can cause these functions. 



You can manage all variants of cancer with this, since it works in the same way, and it can help with pain that’s chronic, tiredness and fatigue, weight loss, and other symptoms which are debilitating, since it can be something that helps target these problems. 

How it helps 

There are some people who have studied the effects of this and have especially found that it’s very helpful in reducing vomiting along with nausea, and this is something a lot of patients undergoing treatment for cancer deal with. 

Cannabis that’s vaporized or smoked is great for neuropathic pain, and also other pain that’s created from this condition. Some studies have also found that the patients who use cannabis usually need far less medication to reduce the pain in the body. 



Lots of people do use this especially for vomiting and nausea, one of the most common side effects of chemotherapy. It also can make it very hard for someone to eat when they get this.  When you vomit or suffer from nausea too much, you then lose weight and become weaker as a result, and it can make your body much more susceptible to various infections and may cause malnutrition if not properly managed. 

Cannabis is great for controlling vomiting and nausea, helping with appetite, improving the quality of life, and also will help with activating your CB1 receptors, and can effectively and easily manage the vomiting and nausea that goes on there. 

Cannabis and pain relief 

Cancer is something that can cause pain that’s debilitating, even excruciating, and it can affect how they sleep, how they eat, and can create anxiety and stress. Some people take pain relievers to help, and it can cause addiction and sometimes overdose in some cases. Marijuana is something that’s great for relieving pain, since it’s simple to use, and doesn’t cause a ton of side effects. 



It does work directly with the pain receptors, helping to improve communication, and also helps with transmitting the messages that are there. It also connects directly with those cannabinoid receptors, blocking the neurotransmitters that are creating that pain sensation, reducing how much of an effect it is.  This also helps as well with anxiety and inflammation and is also really good as well since it’s a natural antioxidant that helps with preventing oxidation within the body. 

While there are other pain management treatments, they have side effects that can be bad. Marijuana is much safer, and it can help with this, so if you have cancer, you may want to consider using this to help with reducing pain, nausea, anxiety, inflammation, and is better for managing chemotherapy and the side effects.
