Industrial hemp decreases intestinal motility stronger than indian hemp in mice.

“Indian hemp has shown beneficial effects in various gastrointestinal conditions but it is not widely accepted due to high content of tetrahydrocannabinol resulting in unwanted psychotropic effects.

Since industrial hemp rich in cannabidiol lacks psychotropic effects the aim of research was to study the effects of industrial hemp on intestinal motility.

Although not completely without psychotropic activity cannabidiol could be a potential replacement for tetrahydrocannabinol.

SinceĀ industrial hemp infuse rich in cannabidiol reduces intestinal motility in healthy mice cannabidiol should be further evaluated for the treatment of intestinal hypermotility.”
