🩺 Medicine First mentioned: Ep. 113

Scientific research into the use of cannabis for inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) including Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. Studies from Israel and Denver have examined cannabinoid receptor activity in the gut, the role of CB2 receptors in IBD, and the anti-inflammatory effects of both CBD and THC on intestinal inflammation in adolescent and adult patients.

Discussion emphasized that while the medical establishment focused on CBD alone, the Hash Church community advocated for whole-plant approaches including THC for IBD treatment.
