Ans: A

Patient authorized by their health care provider are still able to access cannabis for medical purpose. Can buy directly from federally licence dealer. Cannabis is considered as adjunctive therapy for CINV if other therapies failed including prescription cannabinoid (Nabilone) failed. Smoking method of use is NOT recommended because it may contain other harmful chemical however vaporisation method is recommended or balance THC/CBD edible formulation can be used.
Combining THC with CBD can reduce THC mediated side effects. Exceeding THC 20-30 mg daily can cause side effects without improving efficacy.
