May 2024 Archive: Cannabis Strains That Calm Nausea and Vomiting
If you’ve ever felt sick to your stomach, you know how miserable it can be. In May 2024 we posted a guide that points you to the cannabis strains most trusted for easing those feelings. Below you’ll get a quick rundown of why these strains help, which ones top the list, and how to use them safely.
Why Certain Strains Calm Your Stomach
Not every weed works the same way. The magic comes from two groups of chemicals: THC and CBD. THC can slow down the brain’s nausea signal, while CBD reduces inflammation in your gut. When a strain has a good balance of both, it tends to settle an upset stomach faster.
Another factor is the terpene profile. Terpenes like myrcene, limonene, and caryophyllene are known for soothing the digestive tract. Strains rich in these scents often feel smoother on the throat and gut.
Top Picks From Our May 2024 Guide
1. Blue Dream – A hybrid with a sweet berry aroma, it offers moderate THC and high myrcene. Users report quick relief without heavy sedation.
2. Harlequin – High in CBD (up to 10:1 CBD : THC), this sativa‑dominant strain is great for daytime use when you need clear heads but calm nerves.
3. Girl Scout Cookies – Known for its strong THC punch, it also carries limonene which helps settle queasy feelings. Start with a tiny dose if you’re new.
4. ACDC – Almost all CBD and barely any THC, perfect for people who want relief without the “high.” It’s often recommended by doctors for nausea caused by chemo.
5. Granddaddy Purple – An indica with deep purple buds, packed with caryophyllene. Good for nighttime when vomiting keeps you up.
Each of these strains showed positive feedback in patient surveys and small clinical observations published early this year. They’re widely available at licensed dispensaries, so you shouldn’t have trouble finding them.
When trying a new strain, start low and go slow—about 2–3 puffs, wait 15 minutes, then decide if you need more. This helps you avoid over‑intoxication while still getting the anti‑nausea effect.
Keep in mind that everyone’s body reacts differently. If you have a pre‑existing condition or take medication, talk to your doctor before adding cannabis to your routine.
That’s the quick look at May 2024’s spotlight article. We hope this gives you enough info to pick a strain that fits your needs and get relief fast. Happy healing!
