There are positive implications for the idea that .M.M can seriously decrease the severity of flare-ups and frequency of flare ups for Crohn's disease sufferers. In addition to being an anti-nausea drug, .M.M also has anti-inflammatory properties that should have crohn's disease sufferers seriously looking into lobbying for medical use of marijuana in their own state/community. Please read a synapsis below regarding an article in O'Shaughnessy's journal:


O'Shaughnessy's published a study in its Autumn 2005 issue entitled "Cannabis Alleviates Symptoms of Crohn's Disease," by Jeff Hergenrather, M.D., that found:
"[Crohn's] patients described marked improvements with the use of cannabis.

Beneficial effects were reported for appetite, pain, nausea, vomiting, fatigue, activity, and depression. Patients also reported that cannabis use resulted in weight gain, fewer stools per day and fewer flare-ups of less severity...

Cannabis-using Crohn's patients not only report significant relief of their symptoms, they are also able to reduce the amount of immunosuppressive medications that have been a mainstay of conventional treatment...

Crohn's disease is so debilitating and life-threatening and so difficult to manage with conventional medications it is very encouraging to find that cannabis is proving to be an effective treatment for it right now."
