I see it's been a while since this thread was active, but I just wanted to ask if anyone here has tried different forms of cannabis, like tinctures or edibles, and found one more helpful than others for nausea. I’ve been curious about the timing too—does taking it before chemo make a difference compared to after? Would love to hear how others have handled that.

THC helped ease my nausea more than anything else, especially during chemo days. I only needed a tiny bit, and it kicked in fast without making me feel too out of it.

For chemo-related nausea, sublingual tinctures worked faster for me than edibles. I’d take them about 20–30 minutes before the session and then a micro-dose after if needed. I got my card and a clear dosing recommendation through Leafy DOC, which helped a lot so I wasn’t guessing. I only use edibles in the evening because they make me feel dizzy.

Really interesting question - I haven’t tried tinctures yet, just edibles, and found them helpful but timing was all over the place.
