Medical Marijuana Treatment Of Crohn’s Disease

An observation of ancient medicine shows us that Cannabis (marijuana) has been widely used to cure disturbances and inflammation of the bowel. It is not surprising then to find that in a prospective placebo-controlled study Cannabis sativa proved to be highly efficient in cases of inflammatory bowel diseases.

This review refers to a study which demonstrated that an 8-week treatment with THC-rich Cannabis caused a decrease of the Crohn’s disease activity index (CDAI) in 90% of patients without producing significant side effects.

If you suffer with Crohn’s disease it is possible that the natural medicinal qualities of marijuana may be beneficial to you.
