I've heard that some people have had success using marijuana to offset the nausea associated with Chemotherapy?

That is true. Marijuana can lessen the nausea. I believe it is legal for that purpose in California but only with a prescription. It is otherwise not. My opinion is that anything that helps improve the lifestyle or well being of the person undergoing chemotherapy ought to be the one who decides. Keep it quiet and no one will be the wiser.

I do not have cancer however other health problems. I am legal to have this drug as well as many other drugs the doctors give me.
This is the only drug I do not get sick on or have those nasty seizures on. It is very good if you are like I am and have a hard time with other medications.
To get legal it is up to what state you live in. There has been a couple documented cases of the federal government allowing terminal patients to legal have this, but in general it is up to the state you live in.
In my reading I had read where the government has been handing this drug out for years as a test drug. Though there finding are usually thrown out with the bath water. If the findings got out then the pharmaceutical companies would not have the millions of dollars in there pockets and the propaganda of this being so bad for us would not have a leg to stand on.
The doctors out there would also not have grant money from these pharmaceutical companies to finish there schooling and we would have less doctors in America. I do not know much about other countries other then Europe doing some tests with this drug and making progress.
Wish you well...

Chemotherapy can be very painful. My sister went through it. THC has a soothing affect to say the least. Simply put, it can ease the physical pain and anxiety of Chemo.

I know that in many states they use that now and people claim that it takes away the stress and helps reduce nausea and fatigue.
i've never tried but apparently it works well for some people.
it's now legal in RI and a lot of people have been jumping on that

No, people have just gotten so stoned that they forgot they were nauseous, the nausea was still there.
