Cancer and its treatments can take a major toll on your body, energy, and emotional health. While chemotherapy and radiation remain essential tools in fighting cancer, the side effects can sometimes feel overwhelming. Many patients are turning to medical cannabis to ease that burden and improve their quality of life during treatment.
At Medicus Cannabus, our team specializes in helping patients, including those dealing with cancer, integrate cannabis into their care in a safe, thoughtful, and effective way. Our goal is to provide tools that help you feel more comfortable and supported throughout the process.
Cancer therapies, while very effective, typically cause uncomfortable and sometimes debilitating side effects. Some of the most common cancer treatment side effects include:
These side effects can linger for weeks or months, making it harder to maintain your strength and focus on recovery. That’s where medical cannabis may help.

A medical cannabis plan for managing symptoms offers multiple ways to relieve symptoms and support your body during treatment. Patients often find it helpful for:
For many patients, cannabis provides a way to regain a sense of control, reduce stress, and keep up the energy needed to continue treatment. It’s a versatile therapy that can be tailored to your needs and integrated alongside your current medications.
The right time to add cannabis to your plan is different for everyone, but many patients start when side effects from chemotherapy or radiation begin to interfere with daily life. Others may begin earlier, using cannabis to manage cancer-related pain, anxiety, or loss of appetite, even before treatment starts.
Our clinical team works closely with you and your oncology team to determine the right dosage, format, and timing for cannabis use. Whether you’re new to medical marijuana or have experience, we’ll guide you through each step to ensure safe and effective results.
