We have a number of folks who've answered questions on stimulating appetite and easing nausea. They include one from our Chief Medical Office Perry Solomon, MD who mentions a few options including a high CBD tincture. We also have an article on 5 strains reported to help w/ nausea: https://www.hellomd.com/health-wellness/5988e642f34c81379c4371ab/5-marijuana-strains-to-ease-nausea. As well, we have a couple answers that mention the synthetic THC drug, Marinol: https://www.hellomd.com/answers/59c415e65e04af002e58af2c/can-marijuana-help-alleviate-the-side-effects-from-chemotherapy or Rick Simpson Oil: https://www.hellomd.com/answers/57fd14d95797e80007eb9bc1/i-have-a-recurrence-of-breast-cancer-and-am-about-to-undergo-therapy. I have a dear friend w/ stage 4 colon cancer who has found an 18:1 CBD vape pen to really help with her nausea.  In the end, it comes down to each person's unique biochemistry as to which of the above product will work best.

There is some preliminary research which suggests CBD as a potential anti-emetic and appetite stimulating solution. However, in my experience, THC provides, by far, more relief than does CBD.\n\nFor both appetite stimulation, and especially nausea, I recommend a VAPORIZER pen and/or a \"standard\" vaporizer for the actual marijuana plant. Here are tips on how to use a \"standard\" vaporizer.https://www.hellomd.com/health-wellness/5883f872854cdb00081e665f/5-tips-using-your-dry-flower-vaporizer-properly\n\n\ndrkim\n_____________________\nHey there,\n\nCBD is a great option for nausea and loss of appetite.\n\nCBD is a hemp extraction that is used as alternative treatment.\n\nCBD is known to boost up the immune system which helps  to maintain a healthy appetite.\n\nNot only CBD treats the ailments that you mentioned but it helps many other diseases like chronic pain and epilepsy.\n\nI myself have been using CBD products of https://www.greenroadsworld.com/ for years now which helped me a lot.\n\nFor your  convenience,  i'm going to insert a link that can help learn more about CBD health benefits.\n\nNow i'm no doctor but i felt like reaching out to you.\n\nHope this was helpful!\n\n\nsebastianwross","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_8566-markdown","title":"What  is the best type of cannabis for multiple sclerosis patients?

Here are some studies where it was used: \nhttps://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22509985\nhttps://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21456949\nhttps://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26764336\n\nBased on these studies, finding a product with a 1:1 ratio may be good place to start. You can adjust dosings and ratios as you see fit. The general rule is always \"start low and go slow.\" Product-wise it would probably be easiest to find 1:1 ratios in tincture form, although there are some strains out there like Cannatonic and Canna-Tsu that usually have something close to a 1:1.\n\nI'd also encourage you to look for a 1:1 product that is full specturm to get the added benefits of terpenes. \n\nBest of luck! \n\nDanielle Lim \n_____________________\nHi!  Here is a post from my blog where I list some of my favorite strains for my MS pain.

While I'm not able to make specific product recommendations, I can recommend that an olive oil based tincture made primarily with THC could help you. THC is psychoactive can be further divided into either indica or sativa. Indica has the tendency to make you drowsy, whereas sativa can give you more energy. Depending on the time of day, you might chose one or the other. I'd recommend to start with a low dose (a couple drops) 15 minutes before meals or as needed for nausea. The dose can be increased to find the therapeutic range for you. Alternatively, you might try taking ginger or using Sea Bands for acupressure. Please see your primary care doctor to get to the root cause of the problem if it persists! I hope this helps some.

Sativa's and Hybrids contain higher amounts of THCV- Durban Poison, Dutch Hawaiian, and Skunk #1 have been found to be the most common strains. These strains also contain a \"faster\" high, one that lasts shorter but feels more intense.\n\nBartSmart","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_6896-markdown","title":"what is good to control the appetite ","slug":"what-is-good-to-control-the-appetite","content":"\n_____________________\nThe only cannabis that is known to have the affect of DECREASING appetite has been THCV (tetrahydrocannabivarin).  This breakdown product of THC is not only hard to find, but has a very high psychoactive component.  THCV is found in african sativas, as an example, look for a strain named Durban Poison or its hybrid counterpart Cherry Pie.  An option is to ask for lab testing to verify that you are getting a rich THCV product.\n\nIn general, it is not the \"high\" but leading up to the \"high\" and coming down from the \"high\" that makes you have an INCREASED appetite.
