Findings from Ohio State University Provide New Insights into Marijuana/Cannabis (Cannabis Use In the United States and Its Impact On Gastrointestinal Health).

A recent report from Ohio State University highlights the increasing prevalence of cannabis use in the United States and its potential impact on gastrointestinal health. The study suggests that dysregulation of the endocannabinoid system, which is affected by cannabis use, may contribute to various gastrointestinal disorders. While cannabis has been found to have antiemetic properties and is approved for treating chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting, chronic heavy cannabis use has been linked to a condition called cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome. The researchers emphasize the need for further large-scale studies to fully understand the effects of cannabis use on gastrointestinal health. [Extracted from the article]
