Crohn's Disease and Cannabis
Marijuana as therapy for Chron's Disease

Beneficial effects are noted in Crohn’s patients who use Cannabis as a therapy. It is reported by patients that Cannabis relieves the following symptoms: poor appetite, pain, nausea, vomiting, fatigue, activity, and depression. Many patients also report they are also able to reduce the amount of immunosuppressive medications of conventional treatment when using Cannabis as part of their treatment for Crohn’s.
