“How is medical marijuana used in the treatment of cancer?”

There is no particular role for medical marijuana managing the cancer itself. CBD oil information on the Internet that it impacts on cancer survival but this is not true. There is also something called RSO oil the gentleman who sells it feels it cured his cancer. there is no cancer based research that can to manage improvement in cancer with medical marijuana Medical marijuana can be of use is the management of nausea and appetite. For more than 20 years there has been a product called dronabinol which was a legal THC initially approved for help in managing chemotherapy induced nausea. Better anti-nausea drugs came subsequently and this has not been used for this indication since then. In palliative medicine we sometimes use dronabinol for the nausea and the appetite stimulation. I work at the Cleveland clinic and we are not allowed to recommend medical marijuana since the data is so poor and it is not FDA approved for any indication.
