cannabinoids as antiemetics (anti-nausea) is well-established, with Dronabinol
available to stimulate appetite and counter effects of cancer chemotherapy, the
effect of cannabinoids on disorders of the gut has not been extensively
studied. Grinspoon reports anecdotal use of cannabis to control bowel movements
in multiple sclerosis, and relief from the symptoms of Crohn’s disease.
Mikuriya records irritable bowel syndrome, as well as other inflammatory
gastrointestinal conditions (principally among AIDS patients), as one of a wide

therapeutic use in California.

Law Expanded to Add Crohn's Disease (Article) * The list
of qualifying illnesses will now be expanded to include Crohn's Disease. ... In
the first test of a key provision in the new Washington State Medical Marijuana
law, the Medical Quality Assurance Commission has voted to add "Crohn's
Disease" to the list of qualifying illnesses allowed to use medical
marijuana.
In November 1998, Washington State Voters approved Initiative 692, allowing
patients with certain terminal or debilitating illnesses, under the direction
of their doctor, to use marijuana to ease their suffering. The measure allowed
for the addition of qualifying illnesses through petition to the
Commission. Dr. Rob Killian, the
primary sponsor of the initiative, was also behind this petition. "Crohn's
Disease is a particularly debilitating illness, and patients have long espoused
the use of marijuana to ease some its more severe symptoms," states
Killian. "By adding this illness to the list, we are further safeguarding
a group of patients who need protection from criminal prosecution for using a
medicine that works." Visit: http://cannabisnews.com/news/3/thread3602.shtml
