Chemotherapy-Induced Nausea and Vomiting: Cannabinoids

THC exerts its anti-emetic effects through these interactions, which are beneficial for patients undergoing chemotherapy.

Cognitive Dissonance

Social psychologists have documented that feeling good about ourselves and maintaining positive self-esteem is a powerful motivator of human behavior (Tavris & Aronson, 2008).
