Without knowing his previous experience with cannabis, his associated medical problems and history, medications, and various other factors, I'd suggest looking into inhalable and orally absorbed preparations with a CBD:THC ratio of 1:1 as a start.  If your father is experienced with cannabis you might try a somewhat more THC-rich preparation, but the presence of sufficient CBD is important to balance the THC effect.  For patients experiencing nausea as a side effect of chemotherapy there are mouth sprays and lozenges that are sometimes useful, if inhaling is not a plausible route of administration.  I hope you find a helpful regimen. \n\ndrelkind","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_11858-markdown","title":"Is this the right product for pain relief?","slug":"is-this-the-right-product-for-pain-relief","content":"","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_11834-markdown","title":"what is the best cbd product for hip replacement pain","slug":"what-is-the-best-cbd-product-for-hip-replacement-pain","content":"\n_____________________\nHello,\nWhile cannabis research has historically focused  on THC, synthetic cannabinoids, or our own naturally occurring  cannabinoids (endocannabinoids).

By continuing to apply the topical every hour during my waking hours, my pain completely resolved in 1 week and the pain never returned. I used a topical that was close to 1:1 but just slightly dominant in CBD.
