Dr. Karen Wright, from Lancaster University is publishing a report on how cannabinoids from marijuana can help in cases of Crohn's disease and Ulcerative Colitis. Apparently marijuana's cannabinoids effectively help heal the gut lining.

Many Crohn's patients are already aware of marijuana's healing properties and are medical marijuana users. This study shows how it works.

As a UC sufferer, I can certainly vouch for cannabis's positive effects on my health in this regard.

Thanks for the link, Skip!

I suffer from irritable bowel syndrome and marijuana is the fastest acting reliever of my symptoms related to IBS. It helps to relieve the cramping and to settle my stomach when it is acting up. So I think they should add IBS to the list. I would much rather smoke a bowl than drink a whole bottle of pepto, which is what ends up happening bc that stuff only works for about 15 min. The right strain can relieve my symptoms for hours, which is sometimes enough to get through a difficult spell altogether.

Awesome, skip! Interesting stuff, much to be discovered still I'm sure...

I absolutely cannot believe its taking this much time to get the world to accept the use of cannabis as a medicine... And once they finally get around to studying it, they're wanting to not allow the plant itself to be used, but for the companies to be able to synthesize compounds found in the plant, even though the plant has been shown to be not only safe but beneficial for thousands of years...

I have always noticed that good bud gives me a nice solid ghost turd that slides out right. Cannabis makes most body processes calm down, it can take awhile for the medicine to work. Most psychological medications take a week or two, I find two or three days to get back into the rhythm of things.

Here's a similar study from almost 5 years ago, https://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/4728605.stm

We need this,

I've honestly never felt as good (as in normal not high) as when I got a bottle with few sprays left off a friend with MS. I'm thinking about asking my gastro for it but doubt I'd get a positive response

"What is clear to this overworked law enforcement agent from a country which is truly suffering from the corrupting effects of Cartel Heroin is that the UK has absolutely no agenda to promote or support any agenda for legalisation, because it would mean a strangling of the supply of illegally-generated drug profits, but then, the UK is not alone in having no intention of lifting the yoke of prohibition!"
