@annebauer19 There are literally thousands of strains of propogated cannabis. They all have different properties but in general, the more THC the stronger the anti-nausea and appetitie stimulant but also potentially the high and sleepiness. The higher the CBD or even CBD with virtually no THC, the less noticeable impact except for pain relief.

If you are in a state with medical marijuana laws like Florida you start by speaking with a Medical Marijuana MD. In my wife's case, a friend of hers was an MD in a GP practice who switched over to an MM practice. Her MM MD and Oncologists are believers that cannabis has anti-cancer properties in addition to the physical and mental benefits. Her MM MD specifically believes that RSO is the best approach.

As far as onset of effects, it depends on strength of the product, dosage and method of ingestion. Smoking and under the tongue are the fastest, capsules next fastest and edibles the slowest. I make RSO into capsules of approximately 30mg THC doses. I buy RSO of Indica strains with 80-90% THC for nighttime use and CBD RSO with less than 1% THC for daytime use. My wife would have stopped eating completely without the stimulous provided by the THC. Sha also wouldn't sleep without it. (she has also had a prescription for Marinol which is pharmaceutical synthetic THC which she found to provide no effect at all)

Everybody is different and the products available to you legally might be of differing quality. I wouldn't recommend street procucts which you never know what you're getting. I rely on regulated products which are raised organically and are lab analyzed. Unfortunately, everything that we know about MM is still anecdotal so you have to research, try and see what works.

Start with a discussion with your oncologist or other specialists. Good luck.
