Does smoking marijuana cause diarrhea?


On the contrary, Marijuana can actually be used to treat diarrhea. Research shows that cannabinoids affect neurological systems that control the gastrointestinal system, motility and inflammation. They also have the ability to decrease gastrointestinal fluid secretion. Studies indicate that cannabinoids bind with cannabinoid receptors in the digestive tract, especially the small and large intestines, causing muscle relaxation, reduction of inflammation, analgesia, increased nerve muscle coordination, anti emesis, and relief if spasms such as those that cause diarrhea.
