Cannabis Alleviates Symptoms Of Crohn’s Disease
Treatment with cannabis can relieve symptoms and improve quality of life in individuals with Crohn's disease even though it has no impact on gut inflammation, according to new research presented at a conference recently.

Cannabis oil relieved Crohn's disease symptoms in a new, small study.
The study is the first to show, contrary to medical opinion, that the beneficial effect of cannabis on Crohn's disease is not the result of alleviating the gut inflammation that characterizes the condition.
"We know," says study leader Dr. Timna Naftali, who is a gastroenterology specialist at Tel Aviv University's Meir Hospital and Kupat Holim Clinic in Israel, "that cannabinoids can have profound anti-inflammatory effects, but this study indicates that the improvement in symptoms may not be related to these anti-inflammatory properties."
Dr. Naftali recently presented the study findings at the United European Gastroenterology annual meeting (UEG Week 2018), held in Vienna, Austria.
