Does nausea and appetite loss qualify in Oregon?
Yes. The Oregon Medical Marijuana Program (OMMP) lists A condition or its treatment that produces severe nausea as a qualifying condition. An Oregon-licensed provider still has to evaluate you and agree that cannabis is appropriate.

Symptoms Oregon patients most often hope to ease:
- Nausea and vomiting during chemotherapy
- Loss of appetite
- Unwanted weight loss
- Food aversions and changes in taste
- Nausea that does not respond to standard medicines
