Anyone who has ever lost a loved one, or seen a loved one suffer through cancer but survive, can
tell you that the Big C (https://cannabis.net/blog/medical/curing-cancer-with-cannabis-is-it-true)
does horrendous things to both the body and the mind.
For cancer survivors, regaining quality of life is essential after treatment. There are also many other
things you can do to ensure that the years ahead are bright, hopeful, and healthy. Doctors
recommend the usual guidelines for cancer survivors which are no different from anyone who
wants to improve their overall health: keep your weight down, eat more vegetables, stay away from
inflammatory-inducing food and drink, don’t smoke, exercise, get enough sleep, and minimize
exposure to stress.
In addition, adding cannabidiol (https://cannabis.net/blog/history/12-cbd-facts-you-need-to-know-
right-now) (CBD) and tetrahydrocannabinol (https://cannabis.net/blog/interview/cure-cancer-with-
cannabis-thc-not-cbd-says-rick-simpson) (THC) to your post-cancer recovery plan can also produce a
tremendous amount of health benefits.
Side Effects of Chemotherapy and Radiation
Coming off chemotherapy (https://cannabis.net/blog/medical/fighting-chemotherapy-poison-with-
natural-cannabis) and radiation treatments can often leave cancer patients feeling fatigued and
restless, especially if they suffered from anxiety and insomnia as a result of these medications. Not
being able to get proper rest and shutting off the mind will only impact your healing and wreak
havoc on your immune system.

CBD has been proven to be a safe, natural tool for managing anxiety and insomnia
(https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6326553/). Patients can use a variety of forms of
CBD whenever anxiety kicks in, while higher doses can be taken at the end of the day to ensure
restful sleep. Because sleep plays such an important role in overall health, getting too little of it will
affect nearly all your systems especially immunity, the brain, hormone regulation, weight, and
metabolism. It also affects cell function and growth, which is even more reason to use CBD to assist
in sleep and cancer recovery.
Pain
Cancer-related pain (https://cannabis.net/blog/news/is-taking-cannabis-for-pain-the-solution-to-
oxycontin-addiction-and-our-painkiller-epidemic) can affect many patients even months or years
after treatment. Meanwhile, during treatment, pain can be caused by the tumor or cancer in the
body part where it is located, or in the areas surrounding it especially if it grows.
In some cases, cancer survivors still have to deal with chronic pain. It can be so persistent that
finding relief may feel hopeless, and it can also affect your overall quality of life. CBD is an excellent
alternative to opioids for finding relief from pain; studies show that its powerful anti-inflammatory
responses provide amazing relief from many kinds of pain. In a 2018 study
(https://doi.org/10.3389/fphar.2018.01259), researchers found out that CBD was effective for
reducing pain associated with cancer as well as neuropathic problems and fibromyalgia.
Improve appetite
Cancer treatments, medications, and stress can all affect the appetite of patients. Loss of appetite
(https://cannabis.net/blog/medical/top-5-cannabis-strains-for-appetite-loss) has been one of the
biggest side effects of chemotherapy and radiation, and it can linger on for weeks or months after
treatment.

Certain types of THC are known to induce appetite and make eating enjoyable again; this has been
proven in many studies time and again. You can consume THC in many ways, and expect to find it
appealing to eat different types of food over time. However, be sure to pay attention to the types of
food you eat; to maximize cancer recovery, it’s always recommended to eat more fruits and
vegetables especially dark green veggies. Make eating colorful foods a part of your daily lifestyle,
and drink lots of water throughout the day.
However, you may also be prone to nausea and vomiting especially if you are still fresh from cancer
treatment. While THC and CBD can reduce nausea and vomiting, especially high CBD products, it’s
best to still avoid foods that are high in fat and grease, as well as foods that have a strong smell. For
some patients, they find it easier to start eating soft foods and nothing with too much acid or
texture. Alcohol, salt, and caffeine should be limited, if eaten at all.
Quit Tobacco
Smoking cigarettes is responsible for around 20% of all types of cancer in the United States alone,
and 30% of all deaths. On top of that, smoking is linked to 80% of all lung cancers and lung cancer
deaths.
The good news is that smoking-related cancers are avoidable and preventable. Having said that, it’s
easier said than done to quit smoking. CBD in particular has been shown to be helpful
(https://cannabis.net/blog/smoke/can-cannabis-help-you-quit-smoking-cigarettes) in smoking
cessation because of its anxiolytic effects. Some cancer survivors think that just because they have
kicked the Big C, they can resume smoking again. Why not try CBD to kick the habit once and for all?
Even if you have survived cancer, smoking again can put you at risk for developing another type of
cancer down the line. Reduce your chances simply by quitting cold turkey, with the use of CBD.
Avoid Stress
Cancer is perhaps the most stressful disease anyone can have. It takes a serious toll on your
emotional, mental, and physical well-being. Surviving cancer doesn’t automatically signal the end of
these distresses, and in some cases you may even have PTSD from all the difficulties you went
through as a cancer patient.
In combination with a healthy lifestyle, CBD and/or THC can be used to relax more efficiently. You
can even use it in combination with other stress-reduction tools such as meditation, relaxation,
cancer support groups, and counselling. Limit interactions with people or environments that stress
you out and focus on activities that bring you joy.
Conclusion
Cannabis comes in many forms and they are widely available for cancer patients and survivors to
use. Always begin treatment with cannabis under the guidance of your physician or a doctor who is
knowledgeable about cannabis and cancer, so that you never have to second guess the type of
consumption method or dosage that is best for your specific needs.

The valuable trim referred to in this article are those cut off after harvest. These trimmings include kief, trichomes, sugar leaves, fan
leaves, and tiny bits of buds. Trims are usually referred to as "waste" because they have low cannabinoid content. Farmers explain

Ganja Goodness - Should You Monster Crop Your Next Grow?
Which brings us to the concept of “Double Cropping and Monster Cropping”. Understanding the light cycles of your plants, it is
possible to “double crop” where you would harvest the buds from your weed when it’s ready to harvest (or slightly before) and then
revert the plants back to its vegetative state.
