Impact of cannabis treatment on the quality of life, weight and clinical disease activity in inflammatory bowel disease patients: a pilot prospective study.

“Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients suffer from significant morbidity and diminished life quality.

The plant cannabis is beneficial in various gastrointestinal diseases, stimulating appetite and causing weight gain.

Our aims were to assess whether treatment with inhaled cannabis improves quality of life, disease activity and promotes weight gain in these patients.

CONCLUSIONS:

Three months’ treatment with inhaled cannabis improves quality of life measurements, disease activity index, and causes weight gain and rise in BMI in long-standing IBD patients.”
