Medical Marijuana Treatment for Crohn's Disease

What is Crohn’s disease?

Crohn's disease, an inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), results in inflammation throughout the digestive system. This inflammation penetrates deep into the tissue of the digestive tract and can manifest as abdominal discomfort and severe diarrhea. If left untreated, Crohn's disease can be exceedingly painful, substantially impacting one's quality of life. It can also lead to malnutrition, weight loss, and several other undesirable or hazardous complications.

Recognizing the Signs of Crohn's Disease

Crohn's disease symptoms can vary significantly in their severity and can sometimes go into remission. The active symptoms of Crohn's disease include

• Diarrhea
• Elevated body temperature
• Exhaustion
• Abdominal discomfort
• Muscle spasms
• Bloody feces
• Sores in the mouth
• Weight loss or reduced appetite
• Pain, discharge, or infection near the rectum
• Individuals with severe Crohn's disease might also experience swelling in their joints and around their eyes.
  

Conventional Crohn's Disease Treatment

While there is currently no known cure for Crohn's disease, symptoms can be managed, and long-term remission can be achieved through medication and lifestyle alterations. Traditional treatment primarily revolves around reducing digestive tract inflammation, typically with anti-inflammatory medications such as corticosteroids. Immune system suppressors are also frequently employed. Your healthcare professional may also suggest dietary or lifestyle modifications, such as eliminating specific foods that exacerbate your symptoms.

Can Cannabis Help Crohn's Disease?

Medical cannabis has found widespread use in the treatment of Crohn's disease, with many patients claiming its effectiveness in alleviating many of their gastrointestinal symptoms and associated chronic pain. While research is ongoing, the anti-inflammatory properties of many cannabinoids, the chemical components of cannabis, may explain its efficacy.

Cannabidiol (CBD), which effectively alleviates Crohn's disease symptoms, is present in non-psychoactive products, allowing for easy daily integration. More potent Crohn's disease may respond well to therapies based on the psychoactive cannabinoid tetrahydrocannabinol (THC).
