If nausea or vomiting occurs, this is induced by the vomiting center in the brain. If this is gently stimulated, nausea occurs. If the center is stimulated more strongly, vomiting occurs. The control of the vomiting center is triggered by various impulses such as disgust, gastrointestinal infections and other diseases, severe pain, increasing intracranial pressure, shock, drugs, poisons or by a disturbance of the organ of equilibrium in the inner ear.
Vomiting and nausea are often distressing for cancer patients during chemotherapy. The role of cannabinoids in relation to nausea has been the subject of scientific scrutiny since the 1970s, as the mechanisms of action differ from conventional antiemetics, drugs used to suppress emesis and nausea. Nevertheless, ambiguities exist in review analyses of previous research: Some authors attribute a scientifically proven effect to medical cannabis.
Medical cannabis as an alternative to the side effects of chemotherapy.
Due to the large amount of cannabinoid receptors in the gastrointestinal tract, cannabinoids can relieve nausea and vomiting. Especially for patients who have these problems due to other strong treatments, medical cannabis can be a great help.
Medical cannabis and its effect against nausea and vomiting.
Due to the large amount of cannabinoid receptors (CB1 and CB2) throughout the gastrointestinal tract (GIT), cannabinoids can help control or even cure many gastrointestinal disorders. Nausea and vomiting are among the main symptoms caused by these diseases. Some antiemetic agents based on cannabinoids are already used for treatment, including nabilone, for example. These agents are used, for example, by cancer patients who suffer from nausea and vomiting as a result of their chemotherapy. People suffering from HIV also often turn to cannabis to relieve various symptoms, including nausea and vomiting.
As interest in the medicinal properties of cannabis, as well as research in this area, continues to grow, it is expected that more, even more effective medicines for the treatment of gastrointestinal disorders will come onto the market in the future, in which cannabinoids will be a fundamental component

Cannabinoids can relieve nausea and vomiting
Cannabinoids work by interacting with the body’s endocannabinoid system, which helps to regulate a variety of functions, including appetite, mood, and pain.
Scientific evidence of efficiency
Cannabis is increasingly being used for nausea, whether caused by other conditions or independently, while there is still much research to be done on the efficacy of cannabis for treating nausea.
