From the late 1970s through the 1980s, a number of U.S. states conducted studies of marijuana (sometimes in comparison with oral THC) for treatment of nausea and vomiting caused by cancer chemotherapy. Most of these studies were never published at the time, but two University of Vermont researchers collected the data and published this summary in 2001, reporting, "Patients who smoked marijuana experienced 70-100% relief from nausea and vomiting, while those who used the THC capsule experienced 76-88% relief."
