Marijuana is mostly used with chemotherapy patients. It can increase appetite and reduce nausea.
Some physicians who treat cancer recommend that their patients use marijuana to relieve nausea and vomiting.
Not for everyone, but for most people, yes. Marijuana is commonly prescribed to treat nausea and increase appetite in cancer and AIDS patients.
There is a debate as to the use of marijuana in cancer patients. The use would be to make them comfortable. It will not change the outcome.

No. If marijuana caused cancer they wouldn't give it to cancer patients to save their lives. Marijuana cures cancer.
yes in many ways. it is very usefull for glacoma patients. Also it is used to make prolonged pain such as in cancer patients undergoing leukema.
You can use marijuana as a pain killer. If you have glaucoma, it reduces the pressure in your eyes.it can be used to be a pain killer with cancer patients in chemo, & it can help with back pain, etc.
There is no risk. If there was, why would doctors give it to cancer patients?
Marijuana will not help the chemotherapy kill cancer cells. What it can do is help you cope with the side effects of chemotherapy. It reduces stress, relieves pain, reduces nausea and vomiting, and increases appetite. This can help you feel better and the increased caloric intake and the fact that you'll keep more food down improve your body's ability to fight cancer. This is why many states allow cancer patients to use marijuana--not because it kills cancer cells, because it does not.
Possibly not "proven", but it is common knowledge that marijuana has that effect; many 'legal' users of marijuana have it for that purpose.
It is used to increase appetite and decrease nausea in cancer and AIDS patients.
