The way marijuana affects the stomach has been debated for some time. Some people believe that weed is good for intestinal health, while others believe that it causes various problems. As usual, the answer is unlikely to be an “or”, and many variations may need to be considered. Everyone’s stomach is different. There are a lot of stresses to consider, and the smoker’s diet is likely to change the results of smoking marijuana. So let’s take a look at how marijuana affects the stomach and what it means in particular for your stomach.

Many strains are recommended to reduce nausea or increase appetite in patients. This is because of the endocannabinoid system we discussed earlier. This is a part of our body that responds to marijuana and causes excitement, relaxation, sleep and various other effects. Receptors travel through the body, many of which can be located in the digestive system. So we know that smoking marijuana will directly affect digestion and intestinal health. We know that there are many varieties of cannabis recommended for those who suffer from chronic diseases, IBS and IBD and other intestinal problems. For patients with these problems, diet may be a minefield. Through extensive testing and anecdotal evidence, it has been found that cannabis can reduce the negative effects of these diseases. We also know that marijuana can increase appetite, which is essential for those suffering from chronic nausea, chemotherapy and other radical drug treatments and eating disorders. However, this doesn’t really tell us the effect of cannabis on actual gut health, it’s just that it may be beneficial for specific medical problems.

Negative intestinal health

Let’s start with the negative effects of cannabis on stomach health. It is very possible that at some point in our lives, some of us have turned white. If you don’t know that is where you become too tall and vomit. Usually, this happens when people are young and still figuring out their tolerance, but it can be a persistent problem for others. Unfortunately, in the long run, there will be more serious problems than vomiting at super height. Heavy users who smoke multiple times a day may experience a problem called cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome. The cause of vomiting in young smokers is that excessive weeds can cause intense nausea. Basically, this syndrome comes from the same place. Those who smoke for a long time have the urge to vomit frequently and have persistent nausea. The symptoms of this syndrome can be severe and even debilitating. Basically, THC can trigger regular delayed gastric release.

It is not clear why this happens because it is not a common problem, and all the cases so far are anecdotal. Many of these cases may have previously had underlying stomach problems. This may make weeds a cause of the problem, but not necessarily the cause.

There are also a few cases claiming to be acute pancreatitis caused by smoking marijuana. Few cases appear, and most cases seem to have pre-existing conditions or other parts of the lifestyle linking them together. Therefore, if you already have stomach problems or marijuana may cause some other problems, it is possible.

Positive factors for gut health

Now let us continue to discuss the positive factors that have been confirmed by multiple studies and tests. As we know, marijuana seems to have a positive effect on many stomach-related diseases. Through the use of certain cannabis varieties, problems such as IBS, IBD, anorexia, fibromyalgia and Chron have all been successfully controlled. It is well known that it can reduce intestinal inflammation in people with frequent diarrhea. Likewise, it also reduces intestinal peristalsis, which means the speed of food movement in the digestive system. This can improve digestion and ensure you get the most benefit from food. This is very useful for people with celiac disease.

As we discussed before, there are many endocannabinoid receptors throughout the digestive system. This is why many people take cannabis-based supplements when they have stomach health problems, because it is believed that cannabis promotes the formation of beneficial bacteria. It also relaxes the digestive system, reduces cramps and inflammation, and helps reduce irritants that cause negative reactions to various foods.

Even if we are not talking about how cannabis affects the long-term aspects of gut health, it is vital for those who are struggling to eat. If you are experiencing chronic nausea or have no appetite at all, it is almost impossible to get all the nutrients you need. Weeds trigger cannabinoid receptors, which not only reduce nausea, but also actively increase appetite, which is why we eat snacks. Few other drugs can achieve the same effect, which makes cannabis essential for those undergoing chemotherapy, anorexia, and various other treatments or diseases.

Of course, besides smoking, there are many ways to consume marijuana. If you choose CBD heavy strains or only CBD supplements, you don’t need to have any high-efficiency.

Generalize

So basically, like most things, marijuana has its ups and downs in terms of stomach health. For some people, smoking marijuana can cause a series of stomach problems. However, this connection is not necessarily confirmed. As I said before, there are many other variables at play. These problems also only appear in long-term smokers, so as usual, it is a good thing to wait. However, marijuana can also have a wide range of positive effects on those with stomach problems. Suffering from severe bowel problems can be an absolute nightmare, and weeds have been shown to help alleviate these symptoms.
