Using cannabis to alter the nausea side-effects of chemo is over-stated. There are tremendous anti-nausea drugs that work instantly..
We all realize, of course, that obtaining cannabis in this country, can be done in about 15 minutes...ask any teenager.
There is a world of difference, tho, between medications prescribed in a hospital, where the cost-benefit balance tips in favour of pain relief, compared to a healthy person endangering their brain and body needlessly.

The infantile ideologues who laud so-called 'medical marijuana' are dissembling, because they would also favor allowing anyone to consume any recreational poison in any amount at any time for any reason, even unto death.

Sadly, although mj in schools is common, the feds seem to prefer busting high profile adults. Peter Williams is an example.
Regarding nausea, I'd suggest that different things work differently for different people.
If mj works for some, fine, make it C2. Codeine is C2 believe.
Personally, most of the prescriptive nausea relievers don't work for me. Saltines and Seven-Up do! Mother nature is weird.
