Best Strains for Cancer

Modern medicine has come a long way in treating deadly diseases, but some diseases and their associated symptoms respond better to natural medicine as opposed to pharmaceuticals, which can have side effects as bad as, or worse than, the symptoms they’re attempting to treat. Cancer is one of those diseases with debilitating side effects, including:

  • Nausea
  • Loss of appetite
  • Pain
  • Depression
  • Fatigue

Cannabis can help alleviate these symptoms without the harsh side effects of typical cancer medications.

For many people undergoing cancer treatment such as chemotherapy and radiation, the side effects are significant. They can experience all the symptoms listed above in addition to:

  • Insomnia
  • Hair Loss
  • Weight Loss
  • Weakness

We have compiled a list of different symptoms you may be experiencing if you’re currently undergoing cancer treatment, and the best marijuana products for cancer patients that may help make your symptoms bearable and allow you to function closer to normal.

Medical & Recreational CO2 Honey Oil

Rick Simpson Oil: Unlike many alternative medicine oils that aid cancer symptoms, Rick Simpson Oil contains higher levels of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) which offers the “high” that other oils do not. The combined physical and psychoactive effects create a more comprehensive result for a sedative-like approach that leads to increased healing potential, making it one of the best marijuana products for cancer symptoms.

Northern Lights Flower: The Northern Lights strain is typically high in THC and low in CBD and offers a different kind of relief than RSO oil. This strain calms the nerves and helps keep an upset stomach happy. This award-winning cannabis strain is one of the most potent forms of alternative medicine available for the effective relief of severe nausea symptoms due to cancer and cancer treatment.

Granddaddy Purple Flower: Granddaddy Purple is a good choice for an appetite stimulating, sleep inducing cannabis strain. Also helpful for those who need to gain weight, this classic Indica strain emits a sweet aroma of grapes and berries that can help stimulate an otherwise sleepy (or nonexistent) appetite. Just don’t plan on too many activities when using this strain to increase appetite, as you’ll probably be heading for bed with this relaxing high.

cannabis plants

Pineapple Express Flower: If you love tropical fruit, the heady aromas in Pineapple Express will be a pleasant and uplifting experience. With pineapple, mango, and papaya aromas, this hybrid offers both energy and euphoria, a perfect combination for those suffering from the fatigue often associated with cancer symptoms and conventional cancer treatments. If flower isn’t helping to ease the physical discomfort, you can always count on cannabis to help ease the mental hardship. 

Keep in mind that everybody will react to medication in a different manner, and the various cannabis strains listed above as alternative medicine for cancer will therefore have various degrees of effectiveness for each person.
