Crohn’s disease is an autoimmune disease where a person’s digestive system becomes inflamed because of abnormal immune responses. This can cause a variety of symptoms, including fever, fatigue, nausea, weight loss, and anemia, that many people try to avoid or ignore. However, the more severe the symptoms, the harder it becomes to control without effective medication. Medical marijuana is able to dampen the inflammation by strengthening the affected lining of your digestive tract. Because of this, medical marijuana has the ability to help control and maintain a reduction of those symptoms including weight loss, reduced appetite, and nausea. When you are affected by Crohn’s disease you want to create some constancy in your life and medical marijuana can help you towards reaching those goals of a “normal” life.
