I would have to agree that sativas and sativa-dominant strains will be the best cannabis anti nausea meds. Tinctures will likely be the best acting as opposed to smoking or eating; chemo/radiation compromises your cardiopulmonary system and immune system, and smoking may lead to infection/bronchial problems. Ingestion of edibles is not a good idea for people undergoing such therapy due to inhibited digestive response brought about by the chemo/radiation, plus they may just barf it up

HOWEVER (note caps), it would be best to combine them with an anti-nausea medication such as Kytril or phenergan. Kytril is really kick@ss and doesn't have the sleepiness and dry mouth side effects that phenergan does. My SO is an oncology specialist and Kytril is now what is most prescribed for stubborn cases of chemo/radiation induced nausea.
