For myeloma, cannabis may help with several symptoms, including:

- Pain – particularly bone pain from lesions
- Nausea – a common side effect of myeloma treatments
- Appetite loss – helping stimulate hunger
- Insomnia – supporting better sleep
- Neuropathy – nerve pain in hands, feet, and legs However, there are some important things to keep in mind before trying cannabis in any form:

- It may increase anxiety or cause a "spacey" feeling in some people
- It can cause dizziness or drops in blood pressure, which is already a concern with myeloma
- It may interact with immunotherapy or other medications
- It is not a replacement for prescribed myeloma treatments
