Nausea can arise from a variety of sources including motion sickness, migraines, chemotherapy treatments, food poisoning, low blood sugar and more. The source of nausea within the body can be somewhat complex as it is both a physical and psychological condition.  Since cannabinoids can ease pains in the body while affecting the state of mind, oncologists and researchers have found that cannabis is one of the most effective nausea treatments available today.\n\nFOLLOW US ON [FACEBOOK](https://www.facebook.com/pg/hellomdcompany/posts/) & [INSTAGRAM](https://www.instagram.com/hellomd_com/?hl=en) \n\nA 2011 study published by the _British Journal of Pharmacology_ “demonstrates that [manipulation of the endocannabinoid system regulates nausea and vomiting](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3165951/) in humans and other animals.”  These findings also show that “cannabinoids may be especially useful in treating the more difficult to control symptoms of nausea and anticipatory nausea in chemotherapy patients, which are less well controlled by the currently available conventional pharmaceutical agents.”  \n\nRELATED: [THE 5 MOST POPULAR CANNABIS STRAINS](https://www.hellomd.com/health-wellness/the-5-most-popular-strains-of-cannabis)\n\nCannabis has proven itself as the number one choice for many cancer patients in assuaging the pain and side effects associated with chemotherapy. For these patients, the anti-emetic properties of the plant are enhanced by additional relief from pain and depression.  While there are conventional antiemetic pharmaceuticals available, none seem to be as effective as cannabis.  [Dr. Donald Abrams, chief oncologist at UCSF,](http://www.newsweek.com/2015/07/31/keep-toke-alive-356032.html) has stated that cannabis “is the only anti-nausea medicine that increases appetite”  and in a 2014 poll of US physicians, 82% of the oncologists agreed that cannabis should be offered as a treatment option.\n\n### 5 Best Strains to Ease Nausea\n\nThe best method of ingesting cannabis to ease nausea is smoking or vaping, which provides immediate and effective relief.  Edibles on the other hand, must travel through the digestive system and liver, which takes more time to feel the effects and may not agree with an upset stomach. The most effective anti-emetic strains have a significant amount of THC present to ease both the body and mind.  Following is our round-up of the top five strains to treat nausea:\n\n![](https://hellomd-production.s3.amazonaws.com/articles/5988e642f34c81379c4371ab/embedded_images/5988e644f34c81379c4371ac/Screen_Shot_2017-08-07_at_3.05.57_PM.png) \n\n### Northern Lights\n\nThe infamous [Northern Lights](https://www.hellomd.com/strains/5a7ce57ed520d60009f4f4bb) is a pure indica strain with 16-21% THC.  Often used to treat anxiety, insomnia, and lack of appetite, the high THC content provides a powerful body-high, knocking out any pain or nausea.  Very relaxing and sleepy, it is best ingested in the evening time.  This strain is so well-known you can find it just about anywhere.  \n\n### Super Lemon Haze\n\nThis [sativa-dominant hybrid](https://www.hellomd.com/marijuana-strains/super-lemon-haze) of Lemon Skunk and Super Silver Haze has a citrusy scent and flavor that enhances the antiemetic effects of the cannabis.  With 17-22% THC content and a significant presence of the terpene limonene, this strain offers upbeat, energetic effects, making it ideal for daytime treatment of nausea, depression, and anxiety, when you need to ease your stomach and stay active.  \n\n### Lavender\n\nAlso known as Lavender Kush, this strain is named after its floral scent. An indica-dominant hybrid of Super Skunk, Big Skunk Korean, and Afghani Hawaiian, the THC levels reach up to 27%, making this a very potent strain.  With deeply relaxing effects on the body and euphoric effects on the mind, this strain is often used to treat gastrointestinal problems, including nausea, and anxiety and depression.  \n\n### White Fire OG\n\nA hybrid blend of Fire OG and The White, this sativa-dominant hybrid is often used to treat patients with cancer, depression, and appetite loss.  The high levels of THC (22-28%) make this potent strain very effective at increasing appetite and relieving pain, but the effects are upbeat and social enough to use during the day.  New users will want to ease into the experience and be careful not consume too much too fast to avoid anxiety that may come from too much THC.\n\n### Blueberry Diesel\n\nThis [indica-dominant hybrid](https://www.hellomd.com/strains/5a7ce608d520d60009f4f4be) of Blueberry and Sour Diesel has a significant but slightly lower THC content (15%) than the others on the list.  Blueberry Diesel is a moderate strain, providing a relaxing, euphoric feeling without being overwhelming.  With a sweet blueberry scent and flavor, it’s perfect for nausea relief, increasing appetite, and relieving pain and stress.  \n\nIf you are new to cannabis and want to learn more, take a look at our [Cannabis 101](https://www.hellomd.com/health-wellness/cannabis-101-your-quick-guide-to-medical-marijuana) post.

Often, one of those qualities is the tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) content found in a strain—typically, the higher the THC content, the more popular the cannabis strain. Most of the five most popular marijuana strains we have selected are sativa strains. Sativas are known to provide an uplifting and energetic quality as compared to indica strains, which tend to be more calming and sedative. \n\nThe most popular marijuana strains are widely produced and sold in various states where cannabis consumption is legal. All of these marijuana strains are used for their medicinal properties, but are also used recreationally as well. We consider these classic marijuana strains, which are often recognized by name even by non-cannabis consumers.\n\nFOLLOW US ON [FACEBOOK](https://www.facebook.com/pg/hellomdcompany/posts/) & [INSTAGRAM](https://www.instagram.com/hellomd_com/?hl=en)\n\nThe five most popular marijuana strains are Blue Dream, Jack Herer, Cannatonic, Sour Diesel and OG Kush. \n\n### Popular Marijuana Strain #1: Blue Dream\n\n![Popular marijuana strain: Blue Dream](https://hellomd-production.s3.amazonaws.com/articles/5817b52aeab4e6000a28b544/embedded_images/5817b52eeab4e6000a28b545/Screen_Shot_2016-10-31_at_1.54.09_PM.png) \n\n[Blue Dream](https://www.hellomd.com/strains/5a70be4e6c30440008cafd14/blue-dream) is arguably the most popular strain of marijuana in the country. Blue Dream, which originated in California, is a sativa-dominant hybrid that’s a cross between the indica Blueberry and Haze, which is a sativa. Blue Dream is known for its high levels of THC, with percentages ranging from 17–24% and small levels of both cannabidiol (CBD) and cannabigerol (CBG). \n\nBlue Dream is known to cause full-body relaxation, while also being mentally invigorating. This marijuana strain is known to produce a gentle and calm high without heavily sedative effects. Blue Dream is very popular with medical marijuana patients for daytime relief of pain, depression and nausea. And it’s also praised for not producing a sense of anxiety, which to many makes it a clear winner.\n\n### Popular Marijuana Strain #2: Jack Herer\n\n![Popular marijuana strain: Jack Herer](https://hellomd-production.s3.amazonaws.com/articles/5817b52aeab4e6000a28b544/embedded_images/5817b52feab4e6000a28b546/Screen_Shot_2016-10-31_at_1.54.31_PM.png)\n \n[Jack Herer](https://www.hellomd.com/strains/5a7cd5d1d520d60009f4f4b1/jack-herer) is another sativa-dominant hybrid that’s a cross of Haze, Northern Lights #5 and Shiva Skunk. It originally comes from the Netherlands, where it was hailed for its medicinal properties. Jack Herer has several different phenotypes that each have unique effects. It’s known to produce happy and clear-headed effects that promote creativity. \n\nAll of the Jack Herer phenotypes are known for their quality, potency and high levels of THC. THC levels can range from 18–23%. This popular marijuana strain also has low levels of CBD and CBG. Jack Herer presents high levels of limonene, which is a terpene known to fight depression. It’s a great medical strain for stress, depression, pain, fatigue and headaches. \n\nRELATED: [THE TOP 5 MARIJUANA STRAINS FOR DEPRESSION](https://www.hellomd.com/health-wellness/57fbd5a9321b570007790312/top-5-marijuana-strains-for-depression)\n\n### Popular Marijuana Strain #3: Cannatonic\n\n![Popular marijuana strain: Cannatonic](https://hellomd-production.s3.amazonaws.com/articles/5817b52aeab4e6000a28b544/embedded_images/5817b59e97ed67000a00146e/Screen_Shot_2016-10-31_at_1.54.41_PM.png)\n\n[Cannatonic](https://www.hellomd.com/strains/5a7ce5dcd520d60009f4f4bd/cannatonic) is known as one of the most premier medical marijuana strains. It’s also known for its relatively low THC content, below 6%, and a high CBD content of about 6–17%. Cannatonic is a hybrid strain that comes from a cross of MK Ultra and G13 Haze. It’s known for its mellow effects, which don’t produce a strong high, but rather a very relaxing effect. Cannatonic has great pain-relieving qualities, and it works to reduce inflammation, muscle spasms, anxiety and migraines. \n\nCannatonic produces happy and uplifting feelings without high levels of psychoactivity. It’s considered a borderline marijuana strain because it usually doesn’t produce psychoactive effects due to its higher levels of CBD. However, it still may impart a high if a patient is particularly sensitive. Its balance of THC and CBD make it a popular choice for people seeking strong pain relief without a prominent high.\n\n### Popular Marijuana Strain #4: Sour Diesel\n\n![Popular marijuana strain: Sour Diesel](https://hellomd-production.s3.amazonaws.com/articles/5817b52aeab4e6000a28b544/embedded_images/5817b59f97ed67000a00146f/Screen_Shot_2016-10-31_at_1.56.24_PM.png)\n\n[Sour Diesel](https://www.hellomd.com/strains/5a7cd299d520d60009f4f4ae/sour-diesel) is a sativa strain that’s known for its energizing and intense cerebral effects.

This marijuana strain is a favorite among medical marijuana patients because of its steady and long-lasting effects. \n\n### Popular Marijuana Strain #5: OG Kush\n\n![Popular marijuana strain: OG Kush](https://hellomd-production.s3.amazonaws.com/articles/5817b52aeab4e6000a28b544/embedded_images/5817b5c9d51cbd0007d68974/Screen_Shot_2016-10-31_at_2.20.40_PM.png)\n\n[OG Kush](https://www.hellomd.com/strains/5a7cce66d520d60009f4f4ab/og-kush) is one of the most well-known marijuana strains on the market.
