Nabilone is chemically related to marijuana and belongs to the class of medications called cannabinoids.

Medical Marijuana: In Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom and Mexico, nabilone is marketed as Cesamet. It was approved in 1985 by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for treatment of chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting that has not responded to conventional antiemetics.
