There have been recent studies showing that marijuana retards the growth of lung cancers. Otherwise, marijuana can relieve the nausea caused by the chemotherapeutic agents and help with appetite.

If your on chemo can you take marijuana and help the process of killing cancer cells?

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.
